- System stats (homeStatus.refresh), update status and cloud storage usage are now every-entry, TTL-gated useCachedResource entries (10s/300s/30s), hosted in Home.vue rather than inside the homeStatus Pinia store — a store's own defineStore(id, setup) runs in a bare effectScope where onActivated() silently no-ops (same finding as 02-05's Mesh.vue) - Wallet is the deliberate exception (T-02-13): a new home.wallet-status resource wraps the existing loadWeb5Status() composite fetch and revalidates UNCONDITIONALLY on every activation rather than TTL-gated, keeps the prior figure rendered throughout, and persist:false (never written to sessionStorage). hydrateWalletSnapshot()'s separate localStorage path is untouched. - Read Web5.vue's two existing resources (web5.networking-profits, web5.lnd-info) and did NOT share either key: profits is an unrelated dataset, and lnd-info's own default persist:true (Web5.vue out of this plan's file scope) would leak balance data via its own independent refresh cycle regardless of what Home declares, and Home's wallet fetch is a strictly broader 7-call composite (not the same single-call dataset) - dedup:true added to all 12 underlying rpcClient calls (Home.vue's wallet composite + checkUpdateStatus, homeStatus.ts's 5 status calls) - RefreshIndicator wired next to the Home header, bound to the wallet resource's loadState - The websocket wallet-push path and hydrateWalletSnapshot's pre-network paint are both left exactly as 02-04 placed them Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
