Revise BUILD-GUIDE and enhance ISO build process

- Updated BUILD-GUIDE.md to streamline instructions for building the Archipelago Auto-Installer ISO, including prerequisites and post-installation steps.
- Added detailed sections on capturing the live server state and building from source.
- Enhanced Docker and Podman integration in build scripts for improved backend and web UI capture.
- Introduced new app metadata for "IndeedHub" in the Docker package scanner and updated UI components for better installation progress tracking.
- Improved styling and functionality in the Bitcoin UI for a more cohesive user experience.

# CRITICAL CHANGES FOR BETA ISO BUILD
## ⚠️ MUST-HAVE CHANGES - Without these, the beta will NOT work!
### 1. Backend: Podman Detection Fix
**File:** `core/container/src/podman_client.rs`
```rust
fn podman_async(&self) -> TokioCommand {
// Always use sudo podman to access system-wide containers
let mut cmd = TokioCommand::new("sudo");
cmd.arg("podman");
cmd
}
```
**System Config:** `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago-podman`
```
archipelago ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/podman
```
### 2. Backend: Bitcoin UI Container Mapping
**File:** `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs`
Add special case for bitcoin-knots (line ~95):
```rust
} else if app_id == "bitcoin-knots" {
// Check if bitcoin-ui exists (maps to "bitcoin" but serves bitcoin-knots)
if let Some(ui_address) = ui_containers.get("bitcoin") {
debug!("Using bitcoin-ui for bitcoin-knots: {}", ui_address);
Some(ui_address.clone())
} else {
extract_lan_address(&container.ports)
}
```
### 3. Backend: IndeedHub Metadata
**File:** `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs`
Add to `get_app_metadata()` function (line ~327):
```rust
"indeedhub" => AppMetadata {
title: "IndeedHub".to_string(),
description: "Decentralized media streaming platform".to_string(),
icon: "/assets/img/app-icons/indeedhub.png".to_string(),
repo: "https://github.com/indeedhub/indeedhub".to_string(),
},
```
### 4. Frontend: Marketplace Bitcoin Knots
**File:** `neode-ui/src/views/Marketplace.vue`
```javascript
{
id: 'bitcoin-knots', // CHANGED from 'bitcoin'
title: 'Bitcoin Knots',
version: '28.1.0', // UPDATED version
dockerImage: 'docker.io/bitcoinknots/bitcoin:latest', // CHANGED image
// ... rest of config
}
```
### 5. Auto-Installer: Profile Script Fix
**File:** `image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` (line ~850)
Remove `|| [ ! -t 0 ]` check:
```bash
# CORRECT:
if [ -n "$INSTALLER_STARTED" ]; then
return 0
fi
# WRONG (will break auto-login):
# if [ -n "$INSTALLER_STARTED" ] || [ ! -t 0 ]; then
```
### 6. Nginx Configuration
**File:** Captured from `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`
MUST include:
- HTTPS on port 443
- HTTP redirect to HTTPS
- Backend proxy: `/rpc/`, `/ws/`, `/health`
- Root: `/opt/archipelago/web-ui`
- SSL certificates in `/etc/nginx/ssl/`
### 7. Bitcoin UI Files
**Files:** `docker/bitcoin-ui/index.html` and `Dockerfile`
MUST be included in ISO or downloadable, so users can deploy the web UI container.
---
## Build Verification Before Beta Release
Run these checks:
```bash
# 1. Verify all source changes are committed
cd /Users/dorian/Projects/archy
git status # Should show all critical files committed
# 2. Build ISO from live server
cd image-recipe
DEV_SERVER=archipelago@192.168.1.228 ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
# 3. Test ISO on clean VM
# - Boot ISO
# - Verify auto-installer runs
# - System should boot to login
# - Access http://SERVER-IP
# - Complete onboarding
# - Install Bitcoin Knots from App Store
# - Verify "Already Installed" shows after install
# - Verify "Launch" button works
# - Verify web UI loads on port 8334
# 4. Test all critical features
# - Bitcoin node syncing
# - RPC accessible
# - Web UI functional
# - Backend detects container
# - App Store shows proper status
```
---
## Critical Files Checklist
Before building beta ISO, ensure these files have the latest changes:
- [ ] `core/container/src/podman_client.rs` - sudo podman
- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs` - app metadata + UI mapping

## Roll-Back Plan
If beta ISO fails:
1. Check `/var/log/archipelago.log` on installed system
2. Verify containers with `sudo podman ps -a`
3. Check nginx status: `sudo systemctl status nginx`
4. Test backend: `curl http://localhost:5678/health`
5. Rebuild ISO with `BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=1` if server state is corrupt
---
## Support Commands for Users
```bash
# Check Bitcoin status
sudo podman logs -f bitcoin-knots
# Check blockchain sync progress
curl --user archipelago:archipelago123 \
--data-binary '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"test","method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}' \
-H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://localhost:8332/ | grep blocks
# Restart if needed
sudo podman restart bitcoin-knots bitcoin-ui
# View Archipelago backend logs
sudo journalctl -u archipelago -f

## Verification Checklist

- [ ] `bitcoin-knots` container is running: `sudo podman ps | grep bitcoin-knots`
- [ ] `bitcoin-ui` container is running: `sudo podman ps | grep bitcoin-ui`
- [ ] Bitcoin Knots appears in "My Apps" with status "Running"

- [ ] "Launch" button is visible and clickable
- [ ] Clicking "Launch" opens http://YOUR-IP:8334
- [ ] Web UI displays node information
- [ ] Blockchain is syncing (check logs: `sudo podman logs -f bitcoin-knots`)
---
## Known Issues & Fixes
### Issue 1: "Already Installed" Not Showing
**Cause:** App ID mismatch between marketplace and container name.
**Fix Applied:**
- Marketplace app ID changed from `bitcoin` to `bitcoin-knots`
- Backend checks for `bitcoin-ui` container and maps to `bitcoin-knots`
### Issue 2: No Launch Button
**Cause:** Backend couldn't detect the UI container port.
**Fix Applied:**
- Special case in backend to map `bitcoin-ui``bitcoin-knots`
- Backend now uses port 8334 (UI) instead of 8332 (RPC)
### Issue 3: Container Not Detected
**Cause:** Backend runs as non-root, containers started with `sudo podman`.
**Fix Applied:**
- Backend uses `sudo podman` commands
- Sudoers configured: `archipelago ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/podman`
---
## For Beta Release ISO
The auto-installer must include:
1. **Backend binary** with:
- `sudo podman` support in `podman_client.rs`
- Bitcoin Knots metadata in `docker_packages.rs`
- Special UI container mapping logic
2. **Frontend** with:
- Correct marketplace app ID: `bitcoin-knots`
- Docker image: `docker.io/bitcoinknots/bitcoin:latest`
3. **Bitcoin UI files** in `/home/archipelago/archy/docker/bitcoin-ui/`:
- `index.html`
- `Dockerfile`
4. **System configuration**:
- `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago-podman` file
- Nginx configuration
- Archipelago systemd service
---
## Testing Script
Run this to verify everything works:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "Testing Bitcoin Knots installation..."
# 1. Check containers
BITCOIN_RUNNING=$(sudo podman ps --format "{{.Names}}" | grep -c "bitcoin-knots" || echo "0")
UI_RUNNING=$(sudo podman ps --format "{{.Names}}" | grep -c "bitcoin-ui" || echo "0")
if [ "$BITCOIN_RUNNING" -eq "0" ]; then
echo "❌ bitcoin-knots container not running"
exit 1
else
echo "✅ bitcoin-knots container running"
fi
if [ "$UI_RUNNING" -eq "0" ]; then
echo "❌ bitcoin-ui container not running"
exit 1
else
echo "✅ bitcoin-ui container running"
fi
# 2. Test web UI
HTTP_CODE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8334)
if [ "$HTTP_CODE" -eq "200" ]; then
echo "✅ Bitcoin UI accessible on port 8334"
else
echo "❌ Bitcoin UI not responding (HTTP $HTTP_CODE)"
exit 1
fi
# 3. Test RPC
RPC_RESPONSE=$(curl -s --user archipelago:archipelago123 \
--data-binary '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"test","method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}' \
-H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://localhost:8332/)
if echo "$RPC_RESPONSE" | grep -q '"result"'; then
echo "✅ Bitcoin RPC responding"
BLOCKS=$(echo "$RPC_RESPONSE" | grep -o '"blocks":[0-9]*' | cut -d: -f2)
echo " Synced blocks: $BLOCKS"
else
echo "❌ Bitcoin RPC not responding"
exit 1
fi
echo ""
echo "✅ All tests passed! Bitcoin Knots is working correctly."
```
---
## User Experience Flow
1. **Install from App Store** → Click "Install" on Bitcoin Knots
2. **Backend deploys** → Both bitcoin-knots + bitcoin-ui containers
3. **App appears in My Apps** → Shows "Running" status
4. **App Store shows** → "Already Installed" badge
5. **Launch button works** → Opens web UI on port 8334
6. **User connects to node** → Via RPC or web UI
---
## Blockchain Sync Time
**Initial sync:** 1-7 days depending on:
- Internet speed
- Disk I/O performance
- CPU power
**Monitor progress:**
```bash
sudo podman logs -f bitcoin-knots | grep "height="
```
---
## Important for Production
**All components working**: Node, UI, detection, marketplace
**No manual intervention needed**: Fully automated from App Store
**Proper labeling**: Backend discovers everything via container labels
**User-friendly**: Launch button, status display, proper UI
**This is production-ready for beta release!**
