Demo images / Build & push demo images (push) Failing after 2m16s
Keeps the dev and test tooling an outside contributor would want, and takes our node addresses out of it. Scripts that silently defaulted to one of our nodes now require an explicit host and exit 2 without one: smoke-test.sh, trust-archipelago-cert.sh, dev-container-test.sh (which also derives its RPC and health URLs from the SSH target instead of a second hardcoded copy), and image-recipe/dev-branding.sh. A default that points at a machine the user does not own is worse than no default: it fails confusingly, or reaches a stranger's device. Usage examples, mock data and test fixtures move to the RFC 5737 documentation range (192.0.2.0/24). CGNAT test values stay inside 100.64.0.0/10 so the range-check semantics they exercise still hold, and 192.168.1.0/.1/.254 are left alone — those are gateway logic and UI placeholders, not our addresses. Playwright and the perf spec defaulted their baseURL to one of our nodes; they now default to localhost:8100, the local dev server. Removed neode-ui APP_URLS entirely. It is dead code — exported, never imported — and it pinned fedimint's *prod* launch URL to 192.168.1.228:8175. Had anything consumed it, every user's node would have tried to reach an address that on their LAN is either nothing or someone else's machine. Deleting beats sanitizing dead config. Verified: frontend 868/868 vitest across 108 files; archipelago-container 75/75; mesh tests 9/9; audit-secrets 5/5. Zero node addresses and zero node names remain in tracked files.

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
- 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.
