Linux Server Setup (Minimal Profile)

This is the minimal DotClaude profile for VPS/server bootstrapping.

Goals:

• tmux muscle memory
• vim muscle memory (minimal .vimrc, no plugins)
• mosh for resilient remote sessions
• a few ergonomic tools: fzf, bat, zoxide

Quick start (Ubuntu/Debian)

git clone git@github.com:kormie/dotclaude.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./scripts/install.sh --server

# Verify
ls -la ~/.tmux.conf ~/.vimrc

What it installs

Via apt-get:

• git
• stow
• tmux
• vim
• mosh
• fzf
• bat
• zoxide

What it deploys

Via GNU stow into $HOME:

• tmux → ~/.tmux.conf
• vim-min → ~/.vimrc

Notes

• Server mode always stows with an explicit target (-t $HOME) to avoid accidentally stowing into the dotfiles repo directory.
• If you want a different vim indent policy, edit stow/vim-min/.vimrc.

Mosh over Tailscale

Mosh is great over flaky networks, but it uses UDP. Over Tailscale, the simplest pattern is:

mosh root@<tailscale-hostname>

If you run into UDP/firewall issues, pin a single port:

mosh --port=60000 root@<tailscale-hostname>

Then allow that UDP port only on the Tailscale interface (example with UFW):

ufw allow in on tailscale0 to any port 60000 proto udp
