A person approved each step before the agent continued.
The author reports setting up an old Dell Wyse with help from Grok Bot. They ordered the machine on the bot's advice, installed Ubuntu Server according to its instructions, and then granted the bot access over SSH. The account separates the author's initial hardware and operating-system work from the bot's subsequent server setup.
After receiving access, the bot set up a Tailscale network and installed a repository. The author says they had been working on that repository during the previous week and mentions 21 pull requests. The source begins to describe the repository as being for obtaining information from a device, but the sentence is cut off before the device or further purpose is identified.
The reported outcome is the network setup and repository installation. The post does not say whether the installed project was tested, whether it successfully obtained device information, or how access was reviewed after setup.
Who it's for: People setting up a small Linux server who want guided installation followed by agent-assisted network and repository setup.
