+# 01. Infra Setup
+
+This describes how to prepare each machine before deploying services on them.
+
+## 01.01 First steps
+
+* Create an ssh key or pick an existing one. We'll refer to it as the `personal_ssh_key`.
+* The guide assumes the laptop (Lapy) has `ansible` installed. If not, do `sudo apt install -y ansible` and `ansible --version` to check.
+
+## 01.02 Prepare the VPS (Vipy)
+
+### 01.02.01 Source the VPS
+
+* The guide is agnostic to which provider you pick, but has been tested with VMs from https://lnvps.net.
+* The expectations are that the VPS ticks the following boxes:
+  + Runs Debian 12 bookworm.
+  + Has a public IP4 and starts out with SSH listening on port 22.
+  + Boots with one of your SSH keys already authorized.
+* Move on once your VPS is running.
+
+### 01.02.02 Prepare Ansible vars
+
+* You have an example `infra/example.inventory.ini`. Copy it with `cp example.inventory.ini inventory.ini` and fill in with the vars for your VPS.
+
+### 01.02.03 First steps with Ansible
+
+* cd into `infra`
+* Run `ansible-playbook playbook.yml`
