Releases no longer ship as bootable ISOs. Archipelago updates are distributed as the backend binary plus a frontend tarball referenced by releases/manifest.json. Nodes OTA-update via scripts/self-update.sh. Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed atomically, verified present in v1.7.43-alpha release artifact (189 AIUI files, filebrowser-client bundle). Archived under image-recipe/_archived/ (resurrectable if ISO distribution is reintroduced): - build-auto-installer-iso.sh - build-unbundled-iso.sh - test-iso-qemu.sh - scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh - BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md, ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md - branding/isohdpfx.bin - .gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml Updated release process docs to drop ISO references: - scripts/create-release.sh (next-steps text) - docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md - docs/hotfix-process.md - README.md
Build Scripts
Helper scripts for building Archipelago OS images.
Scripts
build-backend.sh

- Output:
../build/backend/archipelago - Requires: Rust toolchain (or Docker)
- Builds for Linux x86_64
build-frontend.sh
Builds the Vue.js frontend for production.
- Output:
../build/frontend/ - Requires: Node.js 18+, npm
- Builds static files for serving
convert-iso-to-disk.sh
Converts ISO image to raw disk image.
- Input: ISO file
- Output:
.imgfile ready fordd - Creates partition layout (EFI + root)
check-dependencies.sh
Checks if all build dependencies are available.
- Checks: Rust, Node.js, Docker, xorriso
- Provides installation instructions
- Non-blocking (warns but continues)
install-podman.sh

- For use inside the target system
- Configures rootless Podman
Usage
These scripts are called automatically by the main build process. You can also run them manually for testing:
# Build just the backend
./scripts/build-backend.sh
# Build just the frontend
./scripts/build-frontend.sh
# Check dependencies
./scripts/check-dependencies.sh
