- Mesh.vue: six useCachedResource entries wrap mesh.refreshAll(), transport.fetchStatus(), refreshFederationNodes(), refreshSelfOnion(), refreshSelfDid() and refreshContacts(), each with an explicit TTL (10s reachability/transport, 30s federation/contacts, 300s self DID/onion) and persist decision (T-02-01: every group carrying peer or self identity data is persist:false; only aggregate transport status may persist) - armMeshLive's Promise.all fan-out becomes a single Promise.allSettled over refreshMeshGroupIfStale() per group, so a revisit inside TTL issues zero RPC, a stale revisit revalidates concurrently (not a serial chain, T-02-16), and one rejected group never blocks the rest - RefreshIndicator wired into the Mesh header, driven by whether any of the six groups is refreshing — visible while peer reachability revalidates on re-entry so a resumed tab never shows a frozen reachability state as current (T-02-13) - dedup: true added to every underlying rpc-client.ts/mesh.ts/ transport.ts fetcher call backing the six groups - useCachedResource() calls live in Mesh.vue rather than inside stores/mesh.ts or stores/transport.ts: Pinia's defineStore(id, setup) runs in a bare effectScope, not a component instance, so the composable's internal onActivated() would silently no-op there; the fetchers still wrap the stores' own actions unchanged, so those actions' other callers (clearAllMesh, setMeshOnly, the pre-send balance check) keep their guaranteed-fresh, uncached reads Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Archipelago Web UI
Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Pinia
The web interface for Archipelago — a self-sovereign Bitcoin Node OS.
Quick Start
cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start
Visit http://localhost:8100 — login with password: password123
This starts:
- Mock backend on port 5959 (no Docker required)
- Vite dev server on port 8100 with HMR
Stop with npm stop.

Dev Modes
The mock backend supports multiple startup modes via VITE_DEV_MODE:
| Mode | Command | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| default | npm start |
Fully set up, login screen |
| existing | VITE_DEV_MODE=existing npm run dev:mock |
Same as default |
| setup | VITE_DEV_MODE=setup npm run dev:mock |
First-time password setup flow |
| onboarding | VITE_DEV_MODE=onboarding npm run dev:mock |
Post-setup onboarding flow |
| boot | npm run dev:boot |
25s simulated boot sequence |
Mock Backend
The mock backend (mock-backend.js) simulates the full Rust backend for local development:
Pre-installed apps (always visible in My Apps):
- Bitcoin Core, LND, Electrs, Mempool, FileBrowser, LoraBell, Fedimint
Marketplace: 30+ curated apps with Docker images, install/uninstall simulation
Features simulated:
- Authentication (login, password change, TOTP 2FA)
- System metrics (CPU, memory, disk — randomized for realism)
- Node identity (DID, Nostr pubkey, Tor address)
- Federation (3 mock nodes with apps, metrics, trust levels)
- Mesh networking (4 LoRa peers, encrypted messaging, invoices)
- Peer-to-peer messaging
- FileBrowser API (mock file system with Music, Documents, Photos, Videos)
- DWN sync status
- Transport layer (mesh/LAN/Tor routing)
- Notifications (5 realistic entries)
- Claude AI chat proxy (requires
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
Container runtime: If Docker/Podman is available, the mock backend will run real containers for installed apps. Otherwise, it simulates them.
Demo Deployment (Portainer)
Deploy the demo via Docker Compose for showcasing:
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml build
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up -d
Or deploy through Portainer Stacks:
- Stacks > Add stack > name:
archy-demo - Web editor: paste
docker-compose.demo.ymlcontents - Add environment variable:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY(for Claude chat) - Deploy
Access at http://your-host:4848 — password: password123
Development Commands
npm start # Start mock backend + Vite (recommended)
npm stop # Stop all servers
npm run dev:mock # Same as start, without port cleanup
npm run dev:boot # Boot mode (simulated startup delay)
npm run backend:mock # Mock backend only
npm run dev # Vite only (needs backend running separately)
npm run dev:real # Vite with real Rust backend
npm run build # Production build (outputs to ../web/dist/neode-ui/)
npm run build:docker # Build for Docker (no type checking)
npm run type-check # TypeScript type checking
npm test # Run tests
