All four found by verifying on archi-dev-box rather than assuming.
container-specs.sh: archy-lnd-ui was specified as a BRIDGE container with
SPEC_PORTS="18083:80", but docker/lnd-ui/nginx.conf listens on 18083
directly (it must, to proxy the backend on 127.0.0.1:5678 same-origin).
Recreating from that spec publishes host 18083 to container port 80, where
nothing listens. Reproduced on the node: the app came back with :18083
refusing connections, HTTP 000. This never fired before because the running
containers are created by first-boot-containers.sh, which is host-networked
and never reads this file; the spec is only consulted when self-update.sh
rebuilds a UI image, and that only happens when a file under docker/lnd-ui/
changes — which is exactly what the previous two commits did. So the next
OTA would have taken lnd-ui down on every node. Now SPEC_NETWORK="host"
with no port mapping, matching what actually runs. NET_BIND_SERVICE dropped
with it: 18083 is unprivileged.
lnd-ui channels link: pointed at /apps/lnd/channels, but that route is a
CHILD of the /dashboard record in neode-ui's router, so the real path is
/dashboard/apps/lnd/channels. nginx's SPA fallback returns 200 for the
wrong path, so it failed as vue-router's NotFound view rather than an HTTP
404 — both the Payment Channels card and the Manage Channels button.
Both apps, copy buttons: navigator.clipboard only exists in a secure
context, and nodes serve these apps over plain http; the main UI also
embeds them in an iframe, where the async Clipboard API is separately gated
by the clipboard-write permission policy. Every copy button silently did
nothing there. Added an execCommand('copy') fallback behind a copyText()
helper and routed all six call sites through it.
lnd-ui Node ID: showed the bare pubkey whenever getinfo.uris was empty,
which is the common case — LND only populates uris once it is advertising
an external address. The bare pubkey is not what a peer pastes to open a
channel. The full pubkey@host:9735 URI is now built from the Tor onion
where available, falling back to this node's address, with a hint saying
which and what its reachability is. The QR encodes the URI too.
Verified on archi-dev-box: both images rebuilt and containers recreated
from the specs; lnd-ui and bitcoin-ui both serve 200 with the new assets;
and the RPCs the new tabs depend on all answer on the live node —
getblockstats returns every field the charts read, getpeerinfo returns 11
peers carrying relaytxes and network values the classifier handles.
Note for whoever tests bitcoin-ui's Insights/Peers tabs: /bitcoin-rpc/ now
sits behind auth_request /_session_check (a05956c4 et al), so it answers
401 to an unauthenticated curl by design. A logged-in browser sends the
session cookie same-origin, which is how those tabs get their data.

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.

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.
