# Debian Host Bootstrap This layer restores the Debian control-plane and personal desktop package set before the OpenTofu/Kubernetes bootstrap runs. Fresh Debian recovery path: ```bash sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git ansible sudo sudo usermod -aG sudo jv git clone /home/jv/my-homelab-configs cd /home/jv/my-homelab-configs ansible-playbook -K -i bootstrap/host/inventory.ini bootstrap/host/playbook.yml ./jeannie up ``` To also restore captured application behavior/configuration, keep the generated `home-configs.tar.gz` outside Git and pass the generated vars file: ```bash ansible-playbook -K -i bootstrap/host/inventory.ini bootstrap/host/playbook.yml \ -e @/path/to/debian-pc-ansible-inventory/ansible-vars.yml ``` The playbook: - configures apt repositories for Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenTofu, and Brave - installs the captured Debian package set, filtering packages unavailable on the current Debian release - installs user-level pipx CLI tools such as `yt-dlp`, plus runtime helpers such as `ffmpeg` and `nodejs` - installs Zoom from the upstream `.deb` when requested on amd64 - adds `jv` to expected local groups - enables core services such as Docker, containerd, kubelet, ssh, cron, and Bluetooth when installed - creates homelab persistence directories used by `jeannie up` - optionally extracts the captured user config archive into `/home/jv` Secrets and active sessions are intentionally not stored in this repo. Keep SSH keys, kubeconfigs, SOPS keys, Docker auth, and browser session/password data in a separate encrypted backup if you want them restored.
