The Bitcoin UI was one long scroll: sync card, RPC/ZMQ cards and the relay-sharing panel stacked on a single page, with node details hidden in a modal. umbrelOS's rebuilt Bitcoin Node app splits the same surface across a Home/Insights/Settings dock and shows considerably more. Added, all of it additive — the sync state machine, the status-snapshot staleness logic and the relay-sharing panel are untouched and just move inside a tab panel: - Five tabs (Node / Insights / Peers / Connect / Sharing) using the same segmented control as lnd-ui, which becomes a fixed bottom dock under 768px with safe-area padding. - Insights: the four stats umbrel's StatSummary shows (Connections, Mempool, Blockchain Size, Node Uptime), a Latest Blocks strip, and Block Size / Fee Rate / Block Rewards charts — the same three umbrel plots, drawn as CSS bars so nothing has to load a chart library past the CSP's script-src 'self'. - Peers: sortable, filterable table with umbrel's exact columns (Peer, Network, Relay TXNs, In/Out, Connected) plus ping. Network is derived from getpeerinfo's own `network` field, falling back to address matching, so Tor/I2P/CJDNS/Local/Clearnet are labelled correctly. - Connect: RPC and P2P details with a Local/Tor selector, QR codes and per-field copy buttons (umbrel's ConnectionDetails), including its unencrypted-LAN warning on Local. Block statistics come from getblockstats, one call per block for the last ten, cached by height so only the new tip is re-fetched. The live tabs poll only while visible rather than adding a third unconditional 5s timer. Also removed the hardcoded "archipelago123" from copyRPCInfo. That string was never the node's actual RPC password — the real one is a manifest-declared generated secret rendered into this app's nginx upstream and deliberately never sent to the browser — so copying it could only ever mislead. The Connect tab says where the password actually lives instead. qrcode.js is vendored from docker/lnd-ui (same file, already CSP-clean) and added to the Dockerfile's COPY set.

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.
