description:Ark protocol wallet daemon (barkd). Lets the node hold self-custodial off-chain bitcoin via an Ark server; the wallet talks to it over a local REST API. Signet by default while Ark matures.
container:
# barkd packaged from the pinned upstream release binary (no usable
# upstream image exists — their registry is empty). Built from
# apps/barkd/Dockerfile and pushed to the node registry. Pin the tag to
# match the REST shapes coded in core/archipelago/src/wallet/ark_client.rs
# (validated against barkd 0.3.0 on signet, 2026-07-14).

# The entrypoint installs the shared secret below via `barkd secret
# refresh` (so the wallet bridge can derive the matching Bearer token) and
# execs the daemon. The Ark wallet itself is created over REST by the
# bridge on first use (wallet.ark-* RPCs) with the node's ark_config
# (default: Second's public signet server) — no host provisioning needed.
