The repo is source code and guidelines only. Nothing about how Archipelago's own fleet is run, or how the team works, stays in it. Untracked (kept on disk, gitignored) — 250 files: - .planning/ (199) and loop/ — internal development process - fleet operations tooling that targets specific nodes: deploy-to-target, deploy-tailscale, deploy-config-defaults, setup-target-dev, setup-aiui-server, setup-https-dev, debug-frontend, node-profile, fleet-fips-pair/unpair, image-recipe/sync-from-live.sh - image-recipe/INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md and docs/multinode-testing-plan.md, both of which are live-server workflow and fleet node inventories - the Phase 10 on-node verification and evidence records, which cite .planning/ as their evidence base KEY-05-ENTROPY-ENFORCEMENT.md was initially moved out with the other Phase 10 docs and then put back: it is cited as normative rationale from ten places in the codebase, including core/clippy.toml, which bans rand::thread_rng and points at it for the reason. That makes it a guideline, not an internal record. Node names removed from source (48 occurrences across comments, manifests and test fixtures): archi-dev-box, archy-x250*, shorty-s, framework-pt, zaza-optiplex, archi-thinkpad. Comments keep the engineering context and the date, which is what carried the meaning; the machine name did not. Three of those were live test values rather than comments and were replaced with valid stand-ins, not prose: two mDNS hostnames and a mesh peer name. An earlier pass substituted "a test node" into a hostname assertion, producing an invalid hostname; caught and fixed as test-node.local. Wipe mechanism: .local-only/manifest.txt inventories every local-only path and .local-only/wipe.sh deletes them on one confirmation, refusing to touch anything git still tracks. Both are themselves untracked, so the public repo does not carry a map of internal filenames. Verified: cargo check -p archipelago --all-features clean; archipelago-container 75/75 tests pass; appOrigin vitest 7/7; audit-secrets 5/5; every relative link in tracked markdown resolves (0 broken).

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.
Start with:
- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- 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.
