Five review fixes across both node UIs. 1. LND now uses the app-store icon. It was shipping its own 182KB lnd.svg while the app store, My Apps and the signed catalog all render neode-ui/public/assets/img/app-icons/lnd.png (catalog.json points at /assets/img/app-icons/lnd.png). Same file is now vendored into the image, so the app header, the launcher and the store agree. That icon is a full-bleed square with an opaque white background rather than a transparent glyph, so it fills the frame and is clipped to the inner radius — exactly how bitcoin-ui frames its own icon — instead of being inset with padding on a dark plate. 2. Header no longer squishes at tablet widths. Both headers had a single 768px breakpoint, so between 768 and 1024 the title and description got crushed against the controls on the right (four status cards on bitcoin-ui) and overlapped. Both now use three breakpoints: fully stacked and centred below 768, logo + title on one row with the controls wrapped underneath below 1024, single row above. The app name and description are centred on mobile. 3. QR codes stay square. .conn-layout is a flex row on desktop and flex items stretch by default, so the white QR plate was being pulled to the height of the fields column and the square QR sat letterboxed in it. The plate is now a fixed square inside a black glass panel that absorbs the extra height, so the panel matches the fields and the QR stays square. 4. Buttons read as one family. The Settings button and both modal dismiss buttons used the flat .glass-button while every other button on the page used .info-card-button; they now all use the latter, via new .compact (inline) and .icon-only (square) variants so the shared style works at button size rather than only as a full-width card.

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.

- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Operations Runbook
- 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.
