Taking over a parked item from the app-UI work. AIUI's built index.html
emits ABSOLUTE /assets/<hashed> paths, so the browser asks for
/assets/index-BC2fBBaW.js. That lands in the MAIN UI's assets dir, where
it does not exist — the real files are in aiui/assets/. Both of AIUI's
two entry assets 404'd, so the embedded sidebar loaded nothing.
The config already contained a /aiui-assets/ location whose comment names
this exact problem ("AIUI may reference /assets/ without /aiui/ prefix"),
but it only catches requests to /aiui-assets/, a path AIUI never asks
for. It described the bug without fixing it.
/assets/ now falls back to a named location that rewrites into
aiui/assets/ and 404s from there. A fallback rather than copying the two
files up one level, because a frontend deploy replaces web-ui wholesale —
update.rs preserves the aiui/ DIRECTORY, not copies made into assets/ —
so a copy is erased by the very next deploy while this survives one.
Both server blocks (HTTP and HTTPS) are patched; named locations are
per-server, so each needs its own.
Verified on archi-dev-box after reload:
/assets/index-BC2fBBaW.js 200, 305256 bytes, application/javascript
/assets/index-BJkaQ2c4.css 200, 150716 bytes, text/css
/assets/does-not-exist.js 404 (the fallback is not over-broad)
/assets/index--lyLAgu1.js 200 (real main-UI chunks still come from
/assets/vendor-CmYeCqL_.js 200 the main dir — try_files hits them
/assets/index-CiMaoNII.css 200 before the fallback is consulted)
/ /aiui/ /health 200
Hash collision between the two builds is not a concern: Vite hashes are
content-derived, and any main-UI asset that exists is served by try_files
before the fallback runs.
Noted while doing this, not fixed here: the node's own
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/archipelago is 378 lines BEHIND this repo file
(984 vs 1362) — it predates the IPv6 listener and the @asset_missing
no-store handling, among others. The node was patched minimally in its
own shape rather than overwritten, since a wholesale copy of a config
this diverged is not a safe unattended action.

Archipelago OS Image Recipes
Build scripts for creating bootable Debian Linux OS images for Archipelago Bitcoin Node OS.
Quick Start
Build the ISO
# 1. Sync latest configs from live dev server
./sync-from-live.sh
# 2. Build components
./scripts/build-backend.sh
./scripts/build-frontend.sh
# 3. Build the ISO
./build-debian-iso.sh
This creates a bootable Debian Live ISO with Archipelago pre-installed.
Write to USB
# Using dd (recommended)
./write-usb-dd.sh /dev/diskN
# Or use Balena Etcher to flash the ISO
See the ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md for a comprehensive build workflow.
See the Architecture documentation for detailed system information.
What's Included
- Debian Linux Base: Debian 13 (Trixie) with security updates applied during ISO/install creation
- Podman: Container runtime for apps (rootless by default)
- Archipelago Backend: Rust-based API server
- Archipelago Frontend: Vue.js web interface
- Systemd Services: Automatic service management
- Network Configuration: NetworkManager for easy setup
Build Output
results/archipelago-installer-x86_64.iso- Bootable hybrid ISO image
Supported Platforms
- x86_64: Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM, Start9 Server Pure, and other x86_64 machines
- Build Systems: macOS (requires Docker) and Linux (native or Docker)
Installation Methods
1. Live USB Boot
Boot from USB, run in live mode to test, or install to disk.
2. Full Disk Installation
From the live environment, run:
sudo /archipelago/install-to-disk.sh
This installs Archipelago to a target disk using debootstrap.
