<h2 id="what-is-it">What Is Archipelago?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Archipelago (nicknamed "Archy") is a <strong>personal server operating system</strong> focused on Bitcoin. You download an ISO file, flash it to a USB drive, install it on any computer, and it gives you:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>A <strong>full Bitcoin node</strong> — you verify your own transactions, no trust in anyone else</li>
|
||
<li>A <strong>Lightning Network node</strong> — fast, cheap Bitcoin payments</li>
|
||
<li>A <strong>web dashboard</strong> — manage everything from your phone or laptop browser</li>
|
||
<li>An <strong>app marketplace</strong> — install apps like Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden with one click</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Privacy by default</strong> — Tor routing, encrypted secrets, no telemetry</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<div class="analogy">
|
||
<p>Think of it like an iPhone for servers. Apple gives you a phone with an App Store where you install apps. Archipelago gives you a server with a Marketplace where you install self-hosted apps. The difference? <em>You</em> own and control everything — your data never leaves your machine.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Similar projects exist (Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz), but Archipelago is built from scratch with production-grade security and a custom Rust backend instead of Node.js.</p>

<strong>Key Concept: Separation of Concerns</strong>
|
||
Each layer has ONE job. The browser shows things. Nginx routes traffic. Rust makes decisions. Podman runs apps. This makes the system easier to understand, test, and fix — if the UI breaks, you know the problem is in the Vue code, not the Rust code.

<h2 id="how-it-runs">How It Runs on a Machine</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you install Archipelago on a computer and power it on, here's what happens in order:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">1</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Linux boots</strong> — Debian 12 starts up, loads drivers, mounts disks</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">2</div><div class="content"><p><strong>systemd starts services</strong> — A program called <code>systemd</code> reads <code>archipelago.service</code> and launches the Rust backend</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">3</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Rust backend initializes</strong> — Loads config, creates/loads encryption keys, starts the HTTP server on port 5678</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">4</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Health monitor starts</strong> — Checks which containers are running, restarts crashed ones, reports readiness</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">5</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Nginx starts</strong> — Listens on port 80 (HTTP) and routes all incoming traffic</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">6</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Containers start</strong> — Bitcoin, LND, and other apps start in priority order (Bitcoin first, then things that depend on it)</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">7</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Ready!</strong> — You open a browser, go to your server's IP address, and see the dashboard</p></div></div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="analogy">
|
||
<p>It's like starting a restaurant. First the building opens (Linux). Then the manager arrives (Rust backend). They check if all kitchen stations are ready (health monitor). The front door opens (Nginx). The cooks start preparing (containers). Customers can now order (you open the web UI).</p>

<h2 id="layers">The Four Layers — Detailed</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="rust-backend">Layer 1: The Rust Backend (The Brain)</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This is the most important piece. It's written in <strong>Rust</strong> — a programming language known for speed and safety. The backend is the "brain" that controls everything.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>Why Rust?</strong>
|
||
Rust prevents entire categories of bugs (memory leaks, crashes, race conditions) at compile time. For a server that manages Bitcoin wallets and runs 24/7, this matters. A crash could mean lost money. Rust makes crashes nearly impossible.
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h4>How the code is organized</h4>
|
||
<p>The Rust code lives in <code>core/</code> and is split into 5 workspace crates (consolidated from 9 during recent refactoring):</p>
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tr><th>Crate</th><th>What It Does</th><th>Lines</th><th>Analogy</th></tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><code>archipelago</code></td>
|
||
<td>The main binary. API endpoints, auth, identity, federation, mesh networking, monitoring, health checks</td>
|
||
<td>~42,000</td>
|
||
<td>The restaurant manager — coordinates everything</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><code>container</code></td>
|
||
<td>PodmanClient (REST API socket), manifest parser, dependency resolver, health monitor, Bitcoin simulator</td>
|
||
<td>~2,060</td>
|
||
<td>The kitchen manager — controls cook stations</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|

|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|

<td><code>parmanode</code></td>
|
||
<td>Compatibility layer for migrating from an older project</td>
|
||

|
||
</tr>
|
||
</table>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Key modules you should know</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>The recent refactoring split monolithic files into focused module directories. Each directory has a <code>mod.rs</code> entry point and focused sub-files:</p>
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tr><th>Module</th><th>What It Does</th><th>Lines</th><th>Structure</th></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>main.rs</code></td><td>Entry point — starts server, registers signal handlers</td><td>~180</td><td>Single file</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>server.rs</code></td><td>Wires HTTP server, connects all components</td><td>~506</td><td>Single file</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>api/handler/</code></td><td>HTTP request routing, CORS, WebSocket upgrade, auth</td><td>~896</td><td>mod.rs + content, dwn, node_message, proxy, websocket</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>api/rpc/</code></td><td>RPC dispatch, 29 endpoint modules + 8 subdirectories</td><td>~20,000</td><td>dispatcher.rs routes to focused handlers</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>api/rpc/package/</code></td><td>App lifecycle — install, config, runtime, progress, deps</td><td>~2,248</td><td>config.rs, install.rs, lifecycle.rs, runtime.rs, stacks.rs, dependencies.rs, progress.rs</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>mesh/</code></td><td>LoRa mesh networking — protocol, crypto, serial, relay</td><td>~6,000</td><td>13 files + listener/ subdirectory (6 files)</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>federation/</code></td><td>Multi-node federation — invites, sync, storage</td><td>~782</td><td>invites.rs, storage.rs, sync.rs, types.rs</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>credentials/</code></td><td>W3C Verifiable Credentials — CRUD, presentation</td><td>~803</td><td>operations.rs, presentation.rs, store.rs, types.rs</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>monitoring/</code></td><td>Metrics collection, alerts, beta telemetry</td><td>~1,380</td><td>collector.rs, store.rs, alerts.rs, telemetry.rs, notifications.rs, types.rs</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>session.rs</code></td><td>Session management, remember-me, cookie handling</td><td>~622</td><td>Single file</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>health_monitor.rs</code></td><td>Container health, auto-restart, system alerts</td><td>~731</td><td>Single file</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rate_limit.rs</code></td><td>Per-IP login + endpoint rate limiting</td><td>~191</td><td>Single file (new)</td></tr>

<h3 id="rust-deep-dive">Rust Backend Deep Dive — Should We Use Custom Code?</h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>The short answer:</strong> Yes, custom Rust is the right call for Archipelago. The backend does things no off-the-shelf tool provides: it orchestrates rootless Podman containers, manages Bitcoin/LND RPC, handles encrypted secrets, runs federation/mesh networking, and serves a real-time WebSocket to the Vue frontend — all as a single binary with zero runtime dependencies. The alternatives (Node.js, Go, Python) would need dozens of third-party packages to match, and none offer Rust's memory safety guarantees for a server handling Bitcoin keys.

<p>Projects like Umbrel use a <strong>Node.js + Docker Compose</strong> backend. Start9 uses <strong>Rust</strong> (like us). RaspiBlitz uses <strong>bash scripts</strong>. Here's why custom Rust wins:</p>

<h4>RPC Endpoint Architecture (Refactored)</h4>
|
||
<p>Every action the frontend takes goes through <code>POST /rpc/v1</code> as a JSON-RPC call. The RPC layer was recently refactored from monolithic files into <strong>29 standalone modules + 8 domain subdirectories</strong>, totaling ~20,000 lines. Requests flow through <code>dispatcher.rs</code> (395 LOC) which routes to the appropriate handler:</p>

<strong>Refactoring win:</strong> The old monolithic <code>package.rs</code> (1,795 lines) was split into 7 focused files under <code>package/</code>. Similarly, <code>federation.rs</code>, <code>identity.rs</code>, <code>mesh.rs</code>, <code>system.rs</code>, and <code>tor.rs</code> were each extracted into their own subdirectories with <code>handlers.rs</code> + <code>mod.rs</code> separation. The API handler layer (<code>handler.rs</code>) was split into 6 focused files under <code>api/handler/</code>.

<h4>Container Orchestration — How Podman Is Controlled</h4>
|

Tier 3: Applications (mempool, btcpay, fedimint)

<strong>Bottom line:</strong> The custom code isn't reinventing the wheel — it's glue that connects Podman, Bitcoin, LND, Tor, Nostr, mesh radios, and a Vue frontend into a cohesive OS. No existing framework does this. The individual pieces (hyper, serde, tokio, ed25519-dalek, aes-gcm) are all battle-tested crates. The custom part is the orchestration logic that ties them together.

<h3 id="vue-frontend">Layer 2: The Vue.js Frontend (The Face)</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The frontend is what you see in the browser. It's built with <strong>Vue 3</strong> — a JavaScript framework for building interactive web pages — and <strong>TypeScript</strong> — JavaScript with type safety.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>What is a Single Page Application (SPA)?</strong>
|
||
Instead of loading a new HTML page every time you click something (like old websites), an SPA loads once and then dynamically updates the page content. When you click "Marketplace" in Archipelago, it doesn't load a new page — it swaps out the content area. This makes it feel fast and smooth, like a native app.

<h4>Frontend file structure (refactored)</h4>

<p>A Vue component is like a LEGO brick. Each brick (component) has its own shape (template), color (styles), and moving parts (script). You snap them together to build the full UI.

|

|

<p>Containers are how Archipelago runs apps like Bitcoin Core, Lightning, Nextcloud, etc. Each app runs in its own isolated "box" called a container.</p>
|

<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>What is a Container?</strong>
|
||
A container is like a lightweight virtual machine. It has its own filesystem, its own network, and its own processes — but it shares the host's Linux kernel, so it's much faster than a full VM. Think of it as an apartment in a building — each apartment has its own walls and locks, but they all share the same building infrastructure.

<p>Archipelago uses <strong>rootless Podman</strong> instead of Docker. Podman runs entirely without root privileges under the <code>archipelago</code> user (UID 1000) — no background daemon, no root access needed. The backend communicates with Podman via its REST API socket, not the CLI.</p>

<h3 id="nginx">Layer 4: Nginx (The Traffic Cop)</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Nginx</strong> (pronounced "engine-X") is a web server that sits between the internet and everything else. Every single request goes through it first. Archipelago's nginx config is ~1,100 lines — one of the most complex parts of the system.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="analogy">
|
||
<p>Nginx is like the receptionist at a hospital. You walk in and say what you need. "I need the API" — they send you to the Rust backend. "I need the Bitcoin app" — they send you to the Bitcoin container. "I need the website" — they hand you the static files. Without the receptionist, you'd be wandering the hallways lost.</p>

<strong>Archipelago's choice:</strong> Nginx gives the most control over security headers, rate limiting, and HTML rewriting (injecting Nostr provider scripts into app iframes). The tradeoff is a 1,100-line config instead of a 50-line Caddyfile — but for a Bitcoin node OS, that control is worth it.

<strong>Why so many nginx configs?</strong>
|
||
There are three layers of nginx: (1) the <strong>main server nginx</strong> that routes all traffic, (2) <strong>per-app container nginx</strong> configs inside some containers (bitcoin-ui, electrs-ui, lnd-ui, indeedhub) that serve their own SPAs and proxy to internal services, and (3) <strong>dev/demo nginx</strong> configs for local development. Changes to app routing require updating BOTH the main config AND the relevant container config.

<h2 id="rpc">RPC: How Frontend Talks to Backend</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>RPC</strong> stands for Remote Procedure Call. It's a way for the frontend to tell the backend "do something" — like calling a function on a remote computer.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>RPC vs REST</strong>
|
||
Most web APIs use REST (different URLs for different things: <code>GET /users</code>, <code>POST /users</code>, <code>DELETE /users/5</code>). Archipelago uses RPC instead — every request goes to the same URL (<code>/rpc/v1</code>) and the <em>method name</em> says what to do. It's like having one phone number for a building, and you say who you want to talk to.
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<p>The frontend has a class called <code>RPCClient</code> (in <code>rpc-client.ts</code>) with ~70 methods. Each method maps to a backend function:</p>
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tr><th>Frontend Method</th><th>Backend Handler</th><th>What It Does</th></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rpcClient.login(password)</code></td><td><code>auth.login</code></td><td>Log in with password</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rpcClient.getServerInfo()</code></td><td><code>system.info</code></td><td>Get server name, version, uptime</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rpcClient.installPackage(id, image)</code></td><td><code>package.install</code></td><td>Install a container app</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rpcClient.getBitcoinInfo()</code></td><td><code>bitcoin.info</code></td><td>Get blockchain sync %, block height</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td><code>rpcClient.sendMeshMessage(text)</code></td><td><code>mesh.send</code></td><td>Send a message over LoRa radio</td></tr>
|
||
</table>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Built-in resilience</h4>
|
||
<p>The RPC client has built-in protections:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Auto-retry</strong> — if a request fails (502/503), it waits and tries again (up to 3 times)</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Timeout</strong> — if the backend doesn't respond in 30 seconds, the request fails instead of hanging forever</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Session expiry</strong> — if you get a 401 (unauthorized), it redirects to the login page</li>
|
||
<li><strong>CSRF protection</strong> — every request includes a security token to prevent cross-site attacks</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ -->
|
||
<h2 id="state">State Management</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>State</strong> is the data your app is currently working with: is the user logged in? What apps are installed? Is Bitcoin synced? This data needs to be shared between components.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-learn">
|
||
<strong>What is Pinia?</strong>
|
||
Pinia is Vue's state management library. Instead of each component keeping its own data (which leads to chaos), you put shared data in a "store" — a central place that any component can read from and write to. When the store changes, every component that uses it updates automatically.
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Archipelago has <strong>18 Pinia stores</strong> (up from 15 — the "god store" was decomposed):</p>

<strong>Store decomposition complete.</strong> The old "god store" (<code>app.ts</code>) that handled auth + WebSocket + server data + package management was split into three new focused stores: <code>auth.ts</code> (authentication state machine), <code>server.ts</code> (server state + RPC actions), and <code>sync.ts</code> (WebSocket + data synchronization). The login flow is now: <code>useAuthStore().login()</code> → <code>useSyncStore().initializeData()</code> + <code>connectWebSocket()</code> → views consume <code>sync.data</code> reactively.
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h4>WebSocket: real-time updates</h4>
|
||
<p>Instead of the frontend asking "has anything changed?" every second (polling), the backend <em>pushes</em> updates to the frontend through a WebSocket — a persistent, two-way connection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="diagram">
|
||
<span class="green">Traditional polling (slow, wasteful):</span>
|
||
Frontend: "Anything new?" → Backend: "No" (every 1 second)

|

<span class="blue">WebSocket (fast, efficient):</span>

Backend: "Bitcoin synced!" → Frontend instantly updates
|
||
Backend: "New container started!" → Frontend instantly updates

||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ -->
|
||
<h2 id="auth">Authentication & Sessions</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you log in, the backend creates a <strong>session</strong> — a temporary "you're allowed in" token. Here's how it works:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">1</div><div class="content"><p><strong>You enter your password</strong> on the login page</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">2</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Backend hashes it with bcrypt</strong> — a one-way function that makes it impossible to reverse</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">3</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Backend compares the hash</strong> to the stored hash (never compares raw passwords)</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">4</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Backend creates a session</strong> — generates a random 256-bit token using a cryptographically secure random number generator</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">5</div><div class="content"><p><strong>Session ID sent as a cookie</strong> — the browser stores it and sends it with every request</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="flow-step"><div class="num">6</div><div class="content"><p><strong>CSRF token also sent</strong> — a second token that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks</p></div></div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-info">
|
||
<strong>Why two tokens?</strong>
|
||
The session cookie proves you're logged in. The CSRF token proves the request came from YOUR browser tab, not a malicious website that tricked your browser into sending a request. Both must match for any request to succeed.

<h2 id="bitcoin">Bitcoin Integration</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Bitcoin is the heart of Archipelago. The backend communicates with Bitcoin Core/Knots using <strong>JSON-RPC</strong> — the same protocol Bitcoin has used since 2009.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="callout callout-warn">
|
||
<strong>Critical Rule: Never Use Floating Point for Bitcoin</strong>
|
||
Bitcoin amounts are always in <strong>satoshis</strong> (1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats) as <strong>integers</strong>. Using floating point (decimals) causes rounding errors. 0.1 + 0.2 ≠ 0.3 in floating point. When you're dealing with money, that's unacceptable. Archipelago uses <code>u64</code> in Rust and <code>BigInt</code> in TypeScript for all Bitcoin amounts.

<h2 id="federation">Federation & Multi-Node</h2>
|

<p>Multiple Archipelago nodes can form a <strong>federation</strong> — a trusted network of servers that sync data, share state, and communicate privately.</p>

<div class="diagram">

Rust compiles to machine code specific to the CPU architecture. If you compile on macOS (ARM/x86) and copy the binary to a Linux server, it won't run — you get an "Exec format error". The deploy script sends the <em>source code</em> and compiles on the target machine.

<h2 id="whats-good">What's Done Well</h2>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>Rust: Exceptional Error Discipline</h4>
|
||
<p>Zero <code>unwrap()</code> or <code>panic!()</code> in production code. Every fallible operation uses the <code>?</code> operator to propagate errors gracefully. This is rare even in professional Rust codebases.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Backend Module Architecture (Refactored)</h4>
|
||
<p>The backend was comprehensively refactored from monolithic files into domain-focused subdirectories. Previously: <code>package.rs</code> (1,795 lines), <code>federation.rs</code> (810 lines), <code>handler.rs</code> (800+ lines) were all single files. Now: each is a clean directory with focused sub-modules (e.g., <code>package/</code> has config.rs, install.rs, lifecycle.rs, runtime.rs, stacks.rs, dependencies.rs, progress.rs). The RPC layer uses a dedicated <code>dispatcher.rs</code> for routing. All 8 major domains (package, federation, identity, mesh, system, tor, handler, credentials) follow the same <code>mod.rs</code> + <code>handlers.rs</code> pattern.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Frontend Component Decomposition (Refactored)</h4>
|
||
<p>All "god components" were split into sub-views: <code>Web5.vue</code> (3,940 lines) → 14 focused sub-views under <code>views/web5/</code>. <code>Settings.vue</code> (1,792 lines) → 13 sections. <code>Dashboard.vue</code>, <code>Apps.vue</code>, <code>AppDetails.vue</code>, <code>AppSession.vue</code>, <code>Federation.vue</code>, <code>Fleet.vue</code>, <code>Discover.vue</code> — all extracted into subdirectories with focused components. The Pinia god store was decomposed into <code>auth.ts</code>, <code>server.ts</code>, and <code>sync.ts</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Input Validation is Thorough</h4>
|
||
<p>App IDs validated against a strict character whitelist. Container image names checked for shell injection characters. All external input sanitized at the boundary. Backend rate limiting on login + endpoints via new <code>rate_limit.rs</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>TypeScript Strict Mode Actually Used</h4>
|
||
<p>All 5 strictest compiler flags enabled. Zero <code>any</code> types across 45,500+ lines. Every function has proper types. This prevents entire categories of bugs.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Container Security is Production-Grade</h4>
|
||
<p>Every container drops all capabilities and adds back only what's needed. Read-only root filesystems. Non-root users. No-new-privileges. This is better than most commercial container platforms.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>WebSocket Resilience</h4>
|
||
<p>Auto-reconnection with exponential backoff, visibility change detection (handles tab switching), network online/offline detection. JSON patch (RFC 6902) for efficient incremental updates. The real-time connection is very robust.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Composables Well-Factored</h4>
|
||
<p>11 Vue composables, each focused on one concern (toasts, audio, keyboard, onboarding, controller nav). Clean, reusable, properly scoped. 10 test files for composables.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Deploy Safety Features</h4>
|
||
<p>Rollback backups before deployment, deploy manifests tracking what was deployed, health checks after deployment, progress bars with ETAs. Deploy locking prevents concurrent deploys. Shared script library (<code>scripts/lib/common.sh</code>) eliminates function duplication.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Monitoring & Telemetry System</h4>
|
||
<p>New <code>monitoring/</code> module (1,380 LOC) with metrics collection, alert generation, persistent storage, beta telemetry reporting, and notification dispatch. Production-grade observability for the beta phase.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>PodmanClient Uses REST API Socket</h4>
|
||
<p>The container management layer communicates with Podman via its async REST API unix socket (<code>/run/user/{UID}/podman/podman.sock</code>), not CLI. This is faster, more reliable, and avoids shell injection risks.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Full Security Audit Completed</h4>
|
||
<p>A comprehensive penetration test (33 findings) was completed in March 2026 and all findings were remediated. Security rules from findings are enforced in CLAUDE.md for all future code.</p>

<h2 id="whats-wrong">What Needs Fixing</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Production Reliability <span class="badge badge-red">P0 — blocks beta</span></h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P0-1. Health RPC endpoint has no handler</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>"health"</code> is listed in <code>UNAUTHENTICATED_METHODS</code> but has no match handler — returns "Unknown method" error instead of actual health status.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Impact:</strong> Frontend, load balancers, and orchestrators can't verify the backend is actually healthy. System appears unhealthy when it's fine.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add handler that checks crash recovery status, Podman responsiveness, and service readiness.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P0-2. Zero container health checks across all 30 containers</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>first-boot-containers.sh</code> creates 30+ containers with <code>--restart unless-stopped</code> but zero <code>--health-cmd</code> flags. Crashed containers restart endlessly in a hammer loop.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Impact:</strong> Silent failures — a broken app looks "running" but returns errors. No way for the backend to distinguish healthy from crashed.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add <code>--health-cmd</code> with appropriate checks (HTTP, TCP, CLI) to every container.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P0-3. Backup restore has no pre-validation or atomic rollback</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>restore_full_backup()</code> extracts directly to the live data directory. If extraction fails halfway, the system is left in a corrupt partial state with no way to recover.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Impact:</strong> A corrupted backup can brick a fresh install. Data loss on partial restore failure.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Extract to staging directory, validate required files, atomic rename, rollback on failure.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P0-4. Unauthenticated nginx endpoints missing protections</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>/archipelago/</code>, <code>/content</code>, <code>/dwn</code> endpoints (used for Tor P2P federation) have no timeout, body size limit, or rate limiting.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Impact:</strong> Vulnerable to slow-loris attacks, payload flooding, and connection exhaustion via Tor.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add <code>proxy_connect_timeout</code>, <code>client_max_body_size 10m</code>, and <code>limit_req</code> to all three locations.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Critical Issues <span class="badge badge-yellow">recently resolved</span></h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4><span class="check">✓</span> RESOLVED: package.rs was 1,795 lines — split into 7 files</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>Before:</strong> Single monolithic file handling all container operations.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>After:</strong> Split into <code>package/config.rs</code> (692 LOC), <code>package/install.rs</code> (467 LOC), <code>package/lifecycle.rs</code>, <code>package/runtime.rs</code> (417 LOC), <code>package/stacks.rs</code> (356 LOC), <code>package/dependencies.rs</code> (242 LOC), <code>package/progress.rs</code> (140 LOC). Each file has one clear responsibility.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4><span class="check">✓</span> RESOLVED: Web5.vue was 3,940 lines — split into 14 sub-views</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>Before:</strong> One massive component with 17 sections.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>After:</strong> Extracted to <code>views/web5/</code> with: Web5.vue (main), Web5ConnectedNodes, Web5CredentialsSummary, Web5DWN, Web5Domains, Web5Identities, Web5NodeVisibility, Web5NostrRelays, Web5QuickActions, Web5SendReceiveModals, Web5SharedContent, Web5Wallet, types.ts, utils.ts.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4><span class="check">✓</span> RESOLVED: useAppStore was a "god store" — split into 3 focused stores</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>Before:</strong> One store handling auth, WebSocket, server data, and package management.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>After:</strong> Decomposed into <code>auth.ts</code> (login/logout/TOTP/sessions), <code>server.ts</code> (server state + RPC actions), <code>sync.ts</code> (WebSocket + JSON patch data sync). <code>app.ts</code> is now a thin data store.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4><span class="check">✓</span> RESOLVED: Shell scripts had no shared library</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>Before:</strong> Duplicated functions across deploy, first-boot, and helper scripts.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>After:</strong> <code>scripts/lib/common.sh</code> provides shared functions: colored logging, SSH wrappers (<code>ssh_cmd</code>, <code>scp_cmd</code>), health checks, disk checks, memory limits. Sourced by all deployment scripts.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Remaining Critical Issues <span class="badge badge-red">fix now</span></h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>1. Test coverage exists but has gaps</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> 38 frontend test files and 36+ backend test modules exist. However, coverage is uneven — critical paths like session validation, federation sync, and the app install flow lack thorough test suites.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add integration tests for critical paths (auth flow, container lifecycle, federation handshake). Add CI that runs <code>cargo test</code> + <code>npm test</code> on every push.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>High Priority <span class="badge badge-yellow">fix soon</span></h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-A. Nostr client.connect() hangs indefinitely (no timeout) <span class="badge badge-green">FIXED</span></h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> 6 calls to <code>client.connect().await</code> across <code>identity_manager.rs</code>, <code>nostr_discovery.rs</code>, and <code>marketplace.rs</code> had no timeout wrapper. If a relay is down, peer discovery hangs forever.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> All 6 calls wrapped in <code>tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(10), ...)</code>. (v1.3.1, 2026-03-25)</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-B. Rate limiter memory grows unbounded</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>EndpointRateLimiter::cleanup()</code> and <code>LoginRateLimiter</code> cleanup methods exist but are never spawned. HashMap of (method, IP) entries grows forever.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Spawn cleanup task every 5 minutes in <code>RpcHandler::new()</code>.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-C. Systemd service missing resource limits</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> No <code>MemoryMax</code>, <code>LimitNOFILE</code>, or <code>TasksMax</code> in <code>archipelago.service</code>. A memory leak in the backend can OOM-kill the entire system.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add <code>MemoryMax=4G</code>, <code>LimitNOFILE=65535</code>, <code>TasksMax=2048</code>.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-D. Container images using :latest tag (7 instances) <span class="badge badge-green">FIXED</span></h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> Several containers in <code>first-boot-containers.sh</code> and the ISO build pulled floating tags — no exact version pinning.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Impact:</strong> Two machines installed a week apart may have different Bitcoin node versions. Supply chain risk.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> All 15 floating tags in <code>image-versions.sh</code> pinned to exact patch versions (e.g., postgres:15→15.17, redis:7→7.4.8, nginx:alpine→1.29.6-alpine). DWN pinned by SHA256 digest. (v1.3.1, 2026-03-25)</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-E. WebSocket reconnect doesn't refresh full state</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> After a WebSocket disconnect (5+ minutes), the UI shows stale data. Reconnection applies patches to an outdated base state instead of fetching fresh data.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> On reconnect, call <code>server.get-state</code> RPC to refresh full state before accepting patches.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>P1-F. No global Vue error handler</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> No <code>app.config.errorHandler</code> in <code>main.ts</code>. Component errors silently log to console — user sees blank screen with no recovery path.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Add error handler that shows user-visible toast and logs structured error.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>5. Cryptographic dependency versions not pinned exactly <span class="badge badge-green">FIXED</span></h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> <code>zeroize = "1.7"</code>, <code>chacha20poly1305 = "0.10"</code>, <code>ed25519-dalek = "2.1"</code> used floating versions.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Why it's bad:</strong> A minor version bump in a crypto library could introduce a vulnerability or behavioral change. The project's own rules require exact pinning for crypto deps.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> All 12 crypto deps pinned to exact versions from Cargo.lock: ed25519-dalek=2.2.0, zeroize=1.8.2, chacha20poly1305=0.10.1, sha2=0.10.9, hmac=0.12.1, argon2=0.5.3, aes-gcm=0.10.3, etc. (v1.3.1, 2026-03-25)</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>6. No frontend-backend type synchronization</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> TypeScript types in <code>types/api.ts</code> are manually maintained copies of Rust structs. If the backend changes a field name, the frontend doesn't know until runtime.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Why it's bad:</strong> Types can drift apart silently. A backend developer renames <code>sync_progress</code> to <code>syncProgress</code> and the frontend breaks in production.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Generate TypeScript types from Rust structs (using <code>ts-rs</code> or a JSON Schema).</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>7. Container metadata duplicated in 3 places</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> App configuration (ports, volumes, env vars) exists in: <code>package.rs</code> (RPC handler), <code>docker_packages.rs</code> (metadata reader), <code>health_monitor.rs</code> (startup tiers).</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Why it's bad:</strong> Adding a new app means updating 3 files. If you forget one, the app partially works but something is wrong.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Single app config source (manifest YAML or a shared Rust module) that all three consumers read from.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>8. Deploy and ISO build scripts are still 1,700+ lines each</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> Two monolithic shell scripts (deploy: ~1,790 lines, ISO build: ~1,870 lines) handle dozens of responsibilities each. Shared functions have been extracted to <code>scripts/lib/common.sh</code>, but the scripts themselves are still large.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Improvement:</strong> <code>scripts/lib/common.sh</code> now provides shared logging, SSH wrappers, health checks, and memory limits — eliminating most duplication. But the core scripts could still benefit from modular splitting post-beta.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Next step:</strong> Split deploy into modules: <code>deploy-frontend.sh</code>, <code>deploy-backend.sh</code>, <code>sync-configs.sh</code>. Split ISO build into <code>lib/rootfs.sh</code>, <code>lib/components.sh</code>, <code>lib/installer-env.sh</code>.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Medium Priority <span class="badge badge-blue">improve over time</span></h3>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>9. App integration requires updates in 6+ locations</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> Adding a new app to Archipelago requires manual changes in: manifest YAML, <code>package.rs</code> (backend config), <code>docker_packages.rs</code> (metadata), nginx config (routing), <code>Marketplace.vue</code> (frontend listing), <code>appLauncher.ts</code> (port mapping), <code>first-boot-containers.sh</code> (first boot), <code>build-auto-installer-iso.sh</code> (ISO capture).</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Move toward a single manifest file per app that drives all of these automatically.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>10. CI/CD pipeline is minimal <span class="badge badge-green">FIXED</span></h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> One GitHub Action builds macOS release binaries on tag push. No tests run in CI. No linting. No Linux build or deploy automation.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Added <code>.github/workflows/ci.yml</code> with two parallel jobs: Rust (fmt check + clippy -D warnings + tests) and Frontend (npm ci + type-check + build). Runs on push to main and all PRs. (v1.3.1, 2026-03-25)</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>11. Session persistence uses blocking I/O</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> On startup, <code>session.rs</code> reads <code>sessions.json</code> using synchronous (blocking) file I/O in an async context.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Use <code>tokio::fs::read_to_string</code> for non-blocking I/O at startup.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h4>12. Inconsistent loading state patterns in frontend</h4>
|
||
<p><strong>What:</strong> Some components use <code>loading</code>, others <code>isLoading</code>, others <code>loadingApps</code>. No shared composable.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fix:</strong> Create a <code>useAsyncState</code> composable that standardizes loading/error/data patterns.</p>
