The 2026-07-23 status block lists as DONE: "Deleted: Courier_New/, Benton_Sans/,
Redacted/ fonts; wireguard.apk; atob.s9pk; obsolete test-install.sh (all
git-rm'd)". All seven are still tracked at HEAD and present on disk. Only the
web/dist copies went; the sources never did.
git ls-tree -r HEAD --name-only | grep -iE 'Courier_New|Benton_Sans|Redacted/|wireguard.apk|atob.s9pk'
That means a repo about to be published under MIT still carries a commercial
Font Bureau typeface and two proprietary Monotype fonts — precisely what §3 of
this audit says must not ship. An audit that reports a blocker as closed is
worse than one that never checked, so the entry is now struck through with the
file list and the verification command inline.
Deleting them is safe and I checked before saying so: nothing references the
font *files* (the three `Courier New` hits are CSS font-family fallbacks naming
the system font, not @font-face sources), and wireguard.apk / atob.s9pk have
zero references anywhere in the tree. Left the deletion itself to the operator —
it is 40 MB of tracked binaries and outside a docs pass. Removing them also
takes 40 MB off the frontend OTA tarball, which is a separate open item.
Also re-verified the rest of the remaining list:
- `zbase32` (LGPL-3.0+) is still a direct dep (Cargo.toml:113, did_dht.rs:40,49).
Still the only hard copyleft blocker.
- LICENSE (MIT), NOTICE and both THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES inventories are present —
so the headline "no license of its own" is closed; softened the verdict to say
which blockers remain rather than leaving a stale "not releasable as-is".
- The four StartOS-derived crates still exist; flagged that KEY-05 cites
core/models, so that one needs review rather than a blind delete.
- Item 6 (git filter-repo history purge) is superseded — the launch plan is a
fresh-history publish, so there is no history to rewrite.

Archipelago
Self-sovereign Bitcoin node OS and manifest-driven app platform.
Archipelago is a bootable personal server OS for Bitcoin infrastructure,
self-hosted apps, mesh communication, decentralized identity, and federation.
Apps are packaged as declarative manifest.yml files and run as rootless
Podman containers managed by the Rust backend.
What is here
core/- Rust workspace: backend API, container runtime, security, OpenWrt helpers, and performance/resource management.neode-ui/- Vue 3 + TypeScript frontend.apps/- app manifests and custom app container sources.docker/- supporting container build contexts for UI companion surfaces.image-recipe/- bootable image/ISO build inputs.Android/- Android companion app.scripts/- development, release, deployment, and validation tooling.docs/- architecture, app packaging, operations, API, and roadmap docs.
Platform model
Archipelago is built as a developer-ready app platform, not a fixed appliance:
- Apps are declared in
apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml. - The Rust parser in
core/container/src/manifest.rsis the canonical schema. - The orchestrator compiles manifests to rootless Podman/Quadlet runtime state.
- App data lives under
/var/lib/archipelago/<app-id>/. - Secrets are generated or read from
/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/and injected through Podman secrets rather than static environment values. - Release and app catalogs are signed and verified against a pinned trust anchor.
Start with:
- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Troubleshooting
Quick start
Frontend
cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start
The dev UI runs at http://localhost:8100 with a mock backend on :5959.
Backend
cd core
cargo build
cargo test --all-features
Linux is the supported backend runtime and release-build target. macOS is fine for frontend work and many Rust compile/test loops, but host integration tests that touch Podman, systemd, networking, or image build paths require Linux.
App manifests
./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/filebrowser/manifest.yml
python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py
python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict
scripts/generate-app-catalog.py requires Python with PyYAML installed.
