Replaces hardcoded "klavdija" with ${AGENT_NAME} or generic phrasing across
docs, scripts, and identity files. Fixes fresh-install checklist: jls → bastille
list, parameterized log paths, Bastille-based service checks.

Deployment Models
Clawdie-AI supports two first-class deployment targets. Both run the same core runtime — Bastille jails, PostgreSQL memory DB, nginx, Telegram channel, rc.d service. The difference is how the host gets set up.
Model 1: Cloud / VPS (current production)
Use when: You want Clawdie running on a remote server you can SSH into.
VPS / cloud host (FreeBSD 15)
└── Bastille jails
├── db (PostgreSQL 17 + pgvector)
├── cms (Strapi CMS)
└── controlplane (agent runtime)
Setup path:
git clone → npm run install-all → configure .env → service {agent} start
See docs/INSTALL.md and the ansible-freebsd skill for
the full provisioning sequence.
Characteristics:
- Headless, SSH/Tailscale access
- Managed via Ansible playbooks
- ZFS snapshots via Sanoid for disaster recovery
- No desktop required
Model 2: Bare-metal ISO (goal)
Use when: You want to plug a USB into your own hardware and have a complete Clawdie system in one reboot — desktop included.
USB image
└── bsdinstall (FreeBSD base + ZFS + bootloader)
└── firstboot.sh (bsddialog wizard)
├── GPU detection → kld_list → Lumina desktop
└── setup.sh → same jails as Model 1
└── one reboot → running system
Setup path:
dd if=clawdie.iso of=/dev/daX → boot → answer wizard → done
See CLAWDIE-ISO.md for the full build plan.
Target repo: codeberg.org/Clawdie/clawdie-iso (to be created).
Characteristics:
- Lumina desktop (FreeBSD-native, outpaddling/desktop-installer)
- 1 reboot for common hardware (GPU via pciconf, no intermediate reboot)
- Local access, no cloud dependency
- Same Clawdie-AI core as Model 1
Shared core
Everything in this repository is shared between both models:
| Component | Both models |
|---|---|
| Agent runtime | src/ |
| Jail definitions | setup/ |
| Memory pipeline | scripts/memory/ |
| Skills | .agent/skills/ |
| Onboarding wizard | setup/onboarding.ts |
| Ansible playbooks | infra/ansible/ |
The ISO build will live in a separate clawdie-iso repo and call
npm run install-all from firstboot.sh after base OS install — the
same entry point used in Model 1.
