my-homelab-configs/bootstrap/host

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:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git ansible sudo
sudo usermod -aG sudo jv
git clone <repo-url> /home/jv/my-homelab-configs
cd /home/jv/my-homelab-configs
ansible-playbook -K -i bootstrap/host/inventory.ini bootstrap/host/playbook.yml
./lab.sh up

To also restore captured application behavior/configuration, keep the generated home-configs.tar.gz outside Git and pass the generated vars file:

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 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 lab.sh 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.
