Frequently Asked Questions about hetzbot-init-fleet

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new infrastructure fleet repository from a template?▼

Scaffolding a fleet repository generates a minimal structure with hosts.tfvars, services/, .env.example, justfile, and README. The process copies templates, substitutes placeholders, and runs idempotent setup scripts to create a ready-to-customize repo.

What files are included when bootstrapping a fresh fleet repository?▼

Bootstrapping a fleet repository includes hosts.tfvars for host configuration, a services/ directory, .env.example for environment variables, a justfile for task automation, and a README with setup instructions.

Do I need local filesystem access to set up a fleet scaffold?▼

Yes, setting up a fleet scaffold requires local filesystem access to copy templates, substitute placeholders, and run idempotent setup scripts including init-fleet.sh, setup-env.sh, and check-env.sh.

Can I reuse a fleet scaffold for testing and production environments?▼

Yes, the fleet scaffold is repeatable and can be re-used for both testing and production fleets. It provides a consistent starting point with clear instructions for teams onboarding new infrastructure environments.

What's the best way to automate onboarding for multiple fleet repositories?▼

The best way to automate fleet onboarding is using a repeatable scaffolding process that generates a minimal repository with standardized files like hosts.tfvars and a justfile, ensuring consistent setup across multiple fleets.

Why does the fleet scaffold reference hetzbot as a sibling clone?▼

The fleet scaffold references hetzbot as a sibling clone so the new fleet repository can consume hetzbot directly. This architecture enables rapid onboarding by keeping hetzbot alongside the fleet for integration.
