Some checks failed
Build Archipelago ISO (dev) / build-iso (push) Has been cancelled
fix: v1.3.3 — firmware, fedimint perms, GRUB fallback, data dirs, Rust warnings
- Add firmware-linux-nonfree to ISO (fixes missing Realtek NIC firmware)
- Pre-create nbxplorer/Main and btcpay/Main data directories
- Fix fedimint data dir permissions (chmod 775 for non-root container)
- GRUB GFX fallback: gfxpayload=keep + console fallback for incompatible hardware
- Kill stale Chromium before kiosk restart (prevents duplicate processes)
- Suppress Rust warnings: #[allow(dead_code)] on run_boot_reconciliation,
  #[allow(unused_assignments)] on history_dirty
- Version bump to 1.3.3

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
./sync-from-live.sh

# 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: Stable Debian 12 (Bookworm) distribution
  • 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-debian-12-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.
