# Workstation Setup Guide
This guide describes how to bootstrap the **mw-pfeddersheim-workstation** infrastructure on a fresh installation.
## Prerequisites
- Linux (Manjaro/Arch Linux)
- Python 3.12+
- Git
## Bootstrap Steps
1. **Clone the Infrastructure Repo**
```bash
mkdir -p ~/infrastructure
cd ~/infrastructure
git clone https://git.satware.ai/infrastructure/mw-pfeddersheim-workstation.git
cd mw-pfeddersheim-workstation
```
2. **Install Ansible**
```bash
sudo pacman -S ansible
```
3. **Configure Secrets**
```bash
# Create a vault password file (do not commit!)
echo "your-strong-password" > ansible/vault_password
# Create secrets file
ansible-vault create ansible/vars/secrets.yml
```
4. **Run system upgrade & kernel install** (preparation for Hyprland/Wayland)
This step runs the dedicated `system-upgrade` role: full `pacman -Syu`,
dual-kernel install (`linux618` LTS + `linux70` stable), and NVIDIA
driver migration from the pinned `575xx` branch to `580xx` (NVIDIA Fast Branch).
Always preview first with `--check`. See
[ADR 0002](../adr/0002-kernel-and-nvidia-strategy.md) for the rationale.
```bash
# Preview — never run the live playbook before --check is clean
ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local \
--vault-password-file ansible/vault_password \
ansible/workstation.yml --check --tags system-upgrade
# Apply (will install/remove packages and regenerate GRUB)
ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local \
--vault-password-file ansible/vault_password \
ansible/workstation.yml --tags system-upgrade
```
After it finishes, **reboot and select `linux70` from the GRUB menu**
before continuing to step 5. Verify with `uname -r` (expect 7.0.x)
and `nvidia-smi` (expect driver 580.x).
5. **Run the Playbook** (remaining roles: common, dev-tools, maintenance)
```bash
ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local --vault-password-file ansible/vault_password ansible/workstation.yml --check
# If check passes:
ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local --vault-password-file ansible/vault_password ansible/workstation.yml
```
6. **Initialize Maintenance**
```bash
./scripts/maintenance.sh
```
