Blue/Green Deployer

This skill provides a structured pre-production testing workflow for OpenClaw configuration changes using a Blue/Green deployment pattern.

Workflow

1. Setup the Green Environment

Initialize the testing area by creating the Green configuration from your current Blue master.

• Command: bash <skill-path>/scripts/deploy.sh

2. Experiment

Modify the files within the green configuration folder or the openclaw.json.green file directly using your preferred editor.

3. Audit and Validate

Verify that the changes in the Green environment are valid and do not break the OpenClaw service.

• Step A: Check JSON syntax: jq empty openclaw.json.green
• Step B: Run the deployment script to perform the symlink-based validation check.

4. Promote or Rollback

• To Promote: If the audit passes, the deploy.sh script will automatically promote the Green configuration to Blue.
• To Rollback: If the audit fails, the deploy.sh (or manual action) will revert the Blue configuration to its previous state using the .bak file.

Troubleshooting

• Validation Error: If the script reports a failure, check the openclaw.json.green file for syntax errors (missing commas, brackets) or invalid keys.
• Manual Check: Always use openclaw status after any deployment to ensure the live service is operational.
