New docs/guide/ tree — canonical home for operator-facing procedural docs. Starlight frontmatter added to all files. 0.12 alignment fixes applied: - v0.11.0 → v0.12.0 throughout - PI_TUI_PROVIDER/MODEL → DEEPSEEK_API_KEY - Headless Codex login → Agent runtime setup (zot + RPC mode) - /login and auth.json references removed - pi → zot in provider-fallback spawn reference - colibri-provider-verify (was pi-provider-smoke) - Language cleanup: smoke test → verification, fake → test, can't self-fix → requires operator intervention, broken → unresponsive, Fix anything broken → Verify all checks pass Two-tree model: docs/wiki/ (decisions) + docs/guide/ (procedural). Single source of truth in colibri. clawdie-ai docs/public/ to be retired.

| Deployment Models |
Clawdie-AI supports two first-class deployment targets. Both run the same core runtime — Bastille jails, PostgreSQL (skills, memory, ops databases), 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
├── git (shared Git Service)
├── cms (shared Web Service)
├── ollama/llama (shared Local AI Models, optional)
└── db (optional jail; host by default via DB_RUNTIME=host)
Strapi admin UI is disabled by default; enable it explicitly with CMS_ADMIN_UI=YES.
Setup path:
git clone → just install → configure .env → service {agent} start
See install 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
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)
└── first boot provisioning (setup.txt seed, TUI fallback)
├── GPU detection → kld_list → Lumina desktop
└── setup.sh → same jails as Model 1
└── one reboot → running system
Setup path:
dd if=clawdie-iso-baremetal-DD.mmm.YYYY.img of=/dev/daX → boot → answer wizard → done
See the Clawdie-ISO repo for the full build and release notes:
https://codeberg.org/Clawdie/Clawdie-ISO
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 lives in a separate Clawdie-ISO repo and calls
just install after base OS install — the same entry point used in Model 1.
