The installer's completion screen and the login-console banner both told the operator "Web Login password123". No release build accepts that password: no default account is ever created (`main.rs:356-362`), and the `password123` pre-setup path is `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` + `dev_mode` (`api/rpc/auth.rs:36-46`). A new user following the screen gets "User not set up. Please complete setup first." on their first-ever interaction with the product. Both screens now say the web UI asks you to create a password on first visit, which is what `Login.vue` actually does when `auth.isSetup` returns false. The SSH line is unchanged — `archipelago`/`archipelago` really does still ship (`install-to-disk.sh:205`), and killing that is the open half of the "kill default credentials" hardening item. Note on the path: `image-recipe/build-debian-iso.sh` is a thin wrapper that copies `_archived/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` and rewrites its relative paths, so despite the directory name the archived builder is the live one. Same string fixed in scripts/install-tui-demo.sh, which mirrors the screen. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
# 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.
