Reported: Framework PT took the OTA and got the new bitcoin-ui but not lnd-ui. Two causes, both in the update path rather than the app. 1. LND_UI_IMAGE was "lnd-ui:latest" while BITCOIN_UI_IMAGE was pinned to 1.7.119-alpha. Podman does not re-pull a tag it already holds locally, so a node that ever pulled lnd-ui:latest keeps that copy forever and every subsequent release silently no-ops. Pinned to 1.7.119-alpha, so a version change is what triggers the pull — the same mechanism that made bitcoin-ui update correctly. 2. first-boot-containers.sh declared lnd-ui as bridge with -p 18083:80. docker/lnd-ui/nginx.conf listens on 18083 DIRECTLY (it must, to proxy the backend on 127.0.0.1:5678 same-origin), so that maps a host port onto a container port nothing serves — reproduced on-node as HTTP 000. This is the THIRD copy of the same declaration: container-specs.sh and apps/lnd-ui/manifest.yml were both already corrected, this one was missed, and it is the copy fresh installs use. Now host-networked with no published ports, matching its siblings and the other two copies. The underlying hazard is that one container spec lives in three files that can disagree; recorded as a follow-up rather than refactored here. Also opens .planning/RELEASE-1.7.121-TASKS.md — every outstanding item for the next release with its evidence, so nothing in a fast-moving queue gets lost between sessions.

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.
