content.browse-all-peers had a per-peer timeout but no OVERALL budget. On this node that meant >45s with no answer, which the assistant reported to the operator as "having trouble accessing the peer content list". Measured cause: 16 federated peers, 1 reachable. Now bounded to 20s total, returning partial results with peers_reached / peers_total / peers_unreachable / partial, so the assistant can say "1 of 16 peers answered" instead of implying the rest have nothing. Verified on the node: 20.015s, was >45s. NodeCertificateSection had no container — I copied a section that sits INSIDE a card rather than one that provides its own. Now uses the same `glass-card px-6 py-6 mb-6` shell and heading level as every other settings section, so it matches on desktop and mobile. setup-node-ca.sh now also ensures the nginx HTTPS listener, because a CA is useless if nothing serves TLS. It binds LAN addresses ONLY: tailscaled already owns :443 on the tailnet addresses with its own Let's Encrypt cert, so a plain `listen 443 default_server` binds 0.0.0.0 and fails EADDRINUSE — and nginx then keeps running the OLD config while the reload reports success. Hit exactly that on archi-dev-box. Port 80 keeps serving: nodes are reached by IP on LANs where forcing a redirect would strand anyone who has not installed the CA. Live now: https://192.168.63.240/ and https://<host>.local/ both 200 with verify=0 against the node CA, http still 200, tailscaled's 443 untouched.

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
- 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.
