Worked example for the Beryl AX (GL-MT3000, mediatek/filogic) verified against the OpenWrt wiki and firmware selector: exact sysupgrade image filename, GL.iNet UI / LuCI flash path, post-flash SSH state, and the U-Boot recovery procedure if the flash goes sideways.

Archipelago documentation
Start here. This index groups the docs by what you're trying to do. The
authoritative behaviour is always the code in core/; where a doc and the code
disagree, the code wins and the doc is a bug.
Getting started
- User Walkthrough — setting up and using a node, from hardware to daily use
- Talking to your node — the conversational command surface
- Seed Verification — independently verify your 24-word backup
- Troubleshooting — common problems and how to resolve them
- OpenWrt Gateway Setup — pairing an OpenWrt router and provisioning TollGate pay-as-you-go WiFi
- Gamepad / Controller Navigation — driving the UI from a controller
- Pine voice commands — the voice-satellite phrase surface
Architecture
- Architecture — the system at a glance
- Multi-Node Architecture — how nodes relate across a fleet
- API Reference — the JSON-RPC surface
Contributing to Archipelago itself
- Developer Guide — building the workspace, the frontend, and an ISO
- Contributor guide (
CLAUDE.md) — invariants, build/verify, the production test gate - Bulletproof containers — why the reconciler is level-triggered
- Release signing runbook — the ceremony and key handling
- 1.8.0 Release Hardening Plan — the release-blocking checklist
- Third-party license audit — dependency licensing posture
- Demo build info — operating the public demo sandbox
App development
- App Developer Guide — build and package a containerized app
- App Manifest Specification — the manifest schema, field by field
- Manifest → Quadlet unit — how a manifest compiles to a systemd-owned container unit
- Container lifecycle — the reconciler state machine: install/adopt/start/stop/self-heal
- App secrets — declaring, generating and injecting per-install credentials
- Registry-Distributed Manifests — how manifests reach nodes via the signed catalog
- Decentralized Marketplace Protocol — publishing apps via an external registry
- Bitcoin RPC Relay — letting an external wallet reach the node's Bitcoin RPC
- Companion Pairing QR — the pairing handoff contract
- TV input inside iframe apps — keyboard/gamepad routing into embedded apps
Design docs
These record why a thing is built the way it is. They are design records, not step-by-step guides, and some predate the current implementation.
- Registry-Distributed Manifests
- DHT Distribution
- Bitcoin Multi-Version
- Dual Ecash
- Hardware Signer
- Manifest Hooks
- Peering & Federation Trust — naming/semantics of trust levels vs discovery (#134)
- kdump + rasdaemon Troubleshooting — post-mortem and hardware-error capture on nodes (#144)
- System-Level OTA — how host-level packages/config reach already-deployed nodes
- Meshroller Integration
- Nostr Git Source Hosting
- Nostr Identity Import · Nostr Signer Login (research)
- Streaming Ecash (phase 4)
- App Packaging Migration
Decisions (ADRs)
- ADR-001: Podman over Docker
- ADR-002: DID Key Method for Node Identity
- ADR-003: Nostr Relays for Discovery
- ADR-004: Tor Hidden Services for Peer Communication
- ADR-005: ChaCha20-Poly1305 for Backup Encryption
- ADR-006: Nostr Relays for Marketplace Discovery
- ADR-007: DID-Based Federation Trust
- ADR-008: Dual Key Strategy (Ed25519 + Secp256k1)
- ADR-009: Manifest-Level Container Security
- ADR-011: DWN Deprioritization
There is no ADR-010 — the number was never issued, so the gap is not a missing file.
