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 OS Image Recipes
Build scripts for creating bootable Debian Linux OS images for Archipelago Bitcoin Node OS.
Quick Start
Build the ISO
# 1. Sync latest configs from live dev server
# 2. Build components
./scripts/build-backend.sh
./scripts/build-frontend.sh
# 3. Build the ISO
./build-debian-iso.sh
This creates a bootable Debian Live ISO with Archipelago pre-installed.
Write to USB
# Using dd (recommended)
./write-usb-dd.sh /dev/diskN
# Or use Balena Etcher to flash the ISO
See the ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md for a comprehensive build workflow.
See the Architecture documentation for detailed system information.
What's Included
- Debian Linux Base: Debian 13 (Trixie) with security updates applied during ISO/install creation
- Podman: Container runtime for apps (rootless by default)
- Archipelago Backend: Rust-based API server
- Archipelago Frontend: Vue.js web interface
- Systemd Services: Automatic service management
- Network Configuration: NetworkManager for easy setup
Build Output
results/archipelago-installer-x86_64.iso- Bootable hybrid ISO image
Supported Platforms
- x86_64: Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM, Start9 Server Pure, and other x86_64 machines
- Build Systems: macOS (requires Docker) and Linux (native or Docker)
Installation Methods
1. Live USB Boot
Boot from USB, run in live mode to test, or install to disk.
2. Full Disk Installation
From the live environment, run:
sudo /archipelago/install-to-disk.sh
This installs Archipelago to a target disk using debootstrap.
