archipelago a76a92cff8 fix(iso): zstd-compress bundled core container images (-160MB on the ISO) 
Bundling fmcd for offline installs (6dcdada3) shipped the raw
uncompressed podman save tar and grew the ISO ~220MB (2.3G -> 2.5G in
RC6-RC9). Save the core bundle as .tar.zst instead — podman load
auto-detects compression, verified locally against the RC9 fmcd.tar
(228M -> 65M, loads cleanly into rootless storage). The first-boot
loader and installer copy globs now pick up .tar.zst too.

Also trims the installer's USB->disk image copy and first-boot load
time on fresh installs.

Archived ISO build recipes

These scripts built the Archipelago auto-installer ISO (bundled and unbundled variants). As of v1.7.43-alpha, ISOs are no longer part of the release deliverable. Releases ship as tarballs consumed by scripts/self-update.sh on existing nodes.

Archived here rather than deleted so they can be resurrected if ISO distribution is reintroduced.

Contents

  • build-auto-installer-iso.sh — orchestrator, bundles container images into squashfs
  • build-unbundled-iso.sh — thin wrapper that sets BUNDLE_IMAGES=0 and delegates
  • test-iso-qemu.sh — smoke-tests a built ISO under QEMU
  • scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh — converts an ISO to a raw disk image
  • BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md, ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md — contributor guides
  • branding/isohdpfx.bin — isolinux MBR hybrid image
  • .gitea-workflows/build-iso-dev.yml — CI workflow that ran the build+smoke-test

To resurrect

  1. git mv image-recipe/_archived/* image-recipe/ (adjust paths back)
  2. Restore .gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml
  3. Re-add release-process references (see scripts/create-release.sh, docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md, docs/hotfix-process.md, README.md).

Why archived

The release flow is simpler and faster as tarball-only:

  • releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago (backend binary)
  • releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago-frontend-X.Y.Z-alpha.tar.gz (frontend + AIUI + filebrowser UI assets)
  • releases/manifest.json (pointers + changelog)

Nodes pull these via scripts/self-update.sh from either Gitea mirror. Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed atomically by self-update.sh.
