Root cause of "click Receive, click Ecash, the modal disappears" (in
both the browser and the Android companion's WebView, since both host
the same neode-ui bundle): vue-i18n treats a bare @ as the start of
"linked message" syntax. receiveBitcoin.lnAddressLabel ("Your
@minibits.cash address:") isn't valid linked-message syntax, so
*compiling* that message throws a SyntaxError the instant it's first
rendered — i.e. the moment wallet.ecash-lnaddress resolves and the
address section becomes visible. The uncaught render-function error
blanks the whole teleported modal, which is indistinguishable from it
just closing.
Confirmed with a real (non-mocked) Vue app + real vue-i18n compiler in
a headless Chromium — a Vitest run with `t` mocked to a no-op, which is
how the existing component test suite covers this file, cannot catch a
bad message string at all. Fixed by escaping the @ as {'@'} — the same
pattern the codebase already uses for settings.domainNamePlaceholder
("user{'@'}example.com"). Added a regression test using the real
vue-i18n instance instead of the mocked one; verified it fails on the
old string and passes on the fix.

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

State management via Pinia stores. WebSocket patches applied automatically.
