# Deployer host baselining

**Status:** Outline from approved design POR. Procedural scripts at **build**.

## Purpose

Create a clean host that can run the Docker-based Lumina stack. This product is **repo-driven**, not tied to one developer’s existing Hermes install.

## Requirements (POR)

| Item | Spec |
|------|------|
| OS | Linux x86_64 or arm64 (cloud VM, bare metal; WSL2 optional path only) |
| Resources | Multi-core CPU; ≥8–16 GB RAM recommended; disk for Docker images |
| Privileges | User able to install Docker / run Compose |
| Network | Outbound HTTPS to model endpoint, SaaS APIs, MCP remotes, image registry |
| GPU | Optional; only if local VLM is used (not required if vision is remote) |

## Steps (operator)

1. Provision host (cloud console / hypervisor).  
2. Install base OS updates.  
3. Create deploy user; clone this repository.  
4. Run `./scripts/bootstrap.sh` (installs Docker if missing — when implemented).  
5. Continue with [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
