# Manual checklist — GUI-only steps on macOS 26 Tahoe
|
|
|
|
Do these once, in order, after `scripts/run.sh` has completed. Tick and date.
|
|
|
|
## Apply the shell-level changes
|
|
- [ ] Log out / log in once (key repeat, press-and-hold, scroll direction only fully apply to a fresh session).
|
|
|
|
## Cloud + privacy
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Drive (or "Saved to iCloud" > Drive): **Desktop & Documents Folders = OFF**. Keep account signed in.
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > General > AirDrop & Handoff: Handoff OFF, AirDrop = Contacts Only.
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > Screen Time: App & Website Activity OFF.
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > Spotlight: untick Siri Suggestions and any web/store result types; "Help Apple Improve Search" OFF.
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > Notifications: Allow notifications when mirroring/sharing OFF (keeps popups off a projector).
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > Network: delete the stray **SparkFun Pro Micro** service if present (setup.sh can't — macOS refuses to remove the sole service on a PPP port). Harmless if left.
|
|
|
|
## DAW Focus
|
|
- [ ] System Settings > Focus > "+" > Custom > name **DAW**, icon of your choice. Allowed notifications: none. "Share across devices" OFF. Toggle it from the menu-bar moon before a session.
|
|
|
|
## Apps needing a first-launch grant
|
|
- [ ] Launch **Rectangle** once -> grant Accessibility when prompted. Set your snap keys.
|
|
- [ ] Launch **kitty** once. Gatekeeper prompt -> Open. **Local Network prompt -> Allow** (or System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network > kitty ON). Symptom if missed: `ssh 192.168.0.x` says `No route to host` in kitty while Terminal works — macOS 15+ returns EHOSTUNREACH to LAN IPs for apps without the grant.
|
|
- [ ] Launch **Tailscale** -> log in to the tailnet. Confirm `tailscale status` in kitty and that `ssh mac` from bebop resolves via MagicDNS later.
|
|
- [ ] Gitea: `cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_homelab.pub` (the interactive key; `id_ed25519` is the rrsync-jailed backup key) -> https://git.sethpc.xyz/user/settings/keys -> Add Key. Then `git clone git@git.sethpc.xyz:Seth/mac.git` works from the Mac if you ever want to edit there.
|
|
|
|
## Ableton
|
|
- [ ] ableton.com > account > download Live 12 (Suite/trial) -> install to /Applications -> authorize.
|
|
- [ ] Re-run `scripts/run.sh --no-tank` from steel141 so the Dock picks up Live (the script only adds it if installed).
|
|
- [ ] Live > Browser > Packs: download the Suite packs you want (they're part of the license — do not torrent them).
|
|
- [ ] Third-party packs: copy from `/Volumes/tank/Downloads/Software/Milkie/` (tank automounts on access — see "tank" below) to `~/Music/Ableton/Samples/` (local disk — never run samples off SMB).
|
|
- [ ] Live > Settings > Audio: once an interface is attached, pick it, 48 kHz, buffer 128 (raise if crackle). Test with the DAW Focus on and the lid open on AC for 15 min: no sleep, no notification.
|
|
|
|
## tank
|
|
- [ ] Finder > **Cmd+Shift+G** > `/Volumes/tank` (this triggers the mount; `/Volumes` is a hidden folder — you won't find it by browsing Macintosh HD, and `/System/Volumes` is something else), then drag the `tank` folder from the path bar / window title into the sidebar **Favorites**. It will NOT appear under Locations as a drive: macOS marks every automounted share `nobrowse` (documented in `man auto_master`) — the Favorite is the one-click entry, and the share mounts on first click and unmounts when idle, so leaving the LAN never hangs Finder or throws login dialogs.
|
|
- [ ] After the first reboot: `mount | grep auto_smb` in kitty should show the `/Volumes/tank` trigger. If it's gone, `/Volumes` got cleaned at boot — tell Claude; the fix is a `synthetic.conf` mountpoint instead.
|
|
|
|
## Backup
|
|
- [ ] `ssh mac ~/mac/scripts/backup.sh` by hand once -> confirm `/tank/backups/mac/Ableton` appears on pve173 and `~/Library/Logs/mac-backup.log` exists.
