How Platform Detection Works

When you run the bootstrap command, Bootible detects your platform from the URL:

# Steam Deck - downloads deck.sh
curl -fsSL https://bootible.dev/deck | bash

# ROG Ally - downloads ally.ps1
irm https://bootible.dev/rog | iex

# Android - downloads android.sh (run from host machine)
curl -fsSL https://bootible.dev/android | bash

The platform determines:

  1. Which configuration template to use (config/steamdeck/, config/rog-ally/, or config/android/)
  2. Which installer to run (Ansible playbook, PowerShell runner, or Bash/ADB)
  3. Which package manager installs applications
