Initialize a Web Host

After a server is created or registered, initialize it with EasyRunner.

er server init my-server --username root

What Initialization Prepares

• Dedicated EasyRunner operational user
• Podman container runtime
• Caddy reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS routing
• OS firewall rules
• Systemd user services for app lifecycle
• Supporting network configuration for app containers

Verify

er server verify my-server

If verification fails, check SSH first:

er server ssh-connect-test my-server --username root

Shared Lifecycle

er server create ─┐
                  ├── er server init ── er app add ── er app deploy
er server add ────┘

Both provisioning paths become the same EasyRunner web-host lifecycle after initialization.
