+## New Server Bootstrap
+
+For a new Ubuntu server, log in as `root` and download the bootstrap script directly from Gitea:
+
+```bash
+wget -O /tmp/bootstrap.sh https://gitea.romerozone.top/robert/ansible_pull_master/raw/branch/master/bootstrap.sh
+```
+
+Make the script executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x /tmp/bootstrap.sh
+```
+
+Run the bootstrap:
+
+```bash
+/tmp/bootstrap.sh
+```
+
+The bootstrap script will:
+
+1. Install Git and Ansible.
+2. Prompt for the Ansible Vault password.
+3. Store the Vault password securely in `/root/.ansible_vault_password`.
+4. Configure Ansible to use the Vault password.
+5. Run the initial `ansible-pull`.
+6. Retrieve the repository and apply the server configuration.
+
+After the initial pull completes, the server is managed by this Ansible Pull repository.
+
+The Ansible playbook creates the `Default` user and other required configuration, so no normal user account is required before running the bootstrap.
