As an operator I can follow the README and/or pipeline to use the server-bootstrap project without external support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Process: A measure of success includes, given a similarly trained individual, can they independently follow (or orchestrate) the bootstrap process you have created? Without this, the project has missed the opportunity to reduce the key-person-risk found in these environments

Describe the solution you'd like

Via the server-bootstrap README, I MUST be able to practically realise the litmus test goals of the server bootstrap project. The process MUST use an automated programatic approach and SHOULD NOT rely on many manual steps. The README SHOULD explicity guide the reader on how to practically kick off the automated process, and SHOULD NOT focus only only theoretical details except where theory MAY support the readers understanding.

The README, MAY for example, make reference to a bootstrap program which MUST fail if the required information for bootstrapping is not present or invalid (see additional context).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

• Reducing margin for human error
  • What information, configuration is required, present useful, clear errors and example valid config should config be invalid. (e.g. "Error: Invalid Config" vs "Error: required key(s) 'lom_password' not found (Str) line 3, column 1, settings.toml See settings.toml.example for valid config example")
