Zeabur deployment

Use the current project's deployment contract and live resource inventory. Reuse working resources and established configuration before creating replacements. Resolve region, capacity and budget from the current user's project contract. Do not assume a country, hosting plan or permission to purchase/move resources.

Prerequisites and portability

Requires an authorized Zeabur account/workspace and either the official zeabur CLI or Node.js/npm with npx for the fallback. Shell examples use a POSIX shell and curl (macOS, Linux or an equivalent environment such as WSL). Adapt command invocation for the installed CLI; do not install dependencies silently. Go, Docker and MySQL tooling are needed only when the project's build/tests use them. No credential environment variable is universally required: reuse the official CLI's authenticated session or the current project's authorized secret mechanism.

This skill is an independent community workflow, not an official Zeabur product. It contains instructions, not an unattended deployment script. Zeabur resources may incur third-party charges; installing this skill does not authorize spending. For local-only use, select it by its name or your agent's skill invocation syntax (for Codex, $zeabur-deploy). On ClawHub it is distributed under MIT-0; see LICENSE.

Establish the target

Read applicable project instructions and existing runbooks/receipts. Identify:

• Application source root, build method, port, health routes and dependencies.
• Zeabur workspace, project, environment, server/region and service IDs.
• First deployment versus update; code source (CLI upload or Git integration).
• Authorized actions, cost ceiling, data isolation and rollback constraints.

Use IDs from this project's records, then verify them against live inventory. Never carry another project's service IDs, database credentials, domain or test identity into the new deployment. A receipt proves history, not present health. If no deployment is requested, produce configuration/docs locally without changing remote resources. Existing authorization remains valid for its scope; do not repeatedly ask about already approved actions. Purchases, destructive migrations and unrelated resources need their own authorization.

Select the route

Prefer an authenticated official CLI for routine operations. Use the dashboard when necessary; do not extract browser cookies or alter global browser/proxy configuration to work around authentication. Read CLI operations before running commands; flag names vary across subcommands. Record the installed CLI version and inspect current --help when updating a historical command.

For Go + MySQL + GORM, also read Go/MySQL deployment. For other stacks, use their existing container/runtime conventions rather than forcing the Go settings onto them.

Execute and verify

1. Prepare a reviewable local build, required configuration, meaningful checks, narrow upload context and rollback target. Exclude private files from both Git and Docker context; one ignore mechanism does not protect the other.
2. Recheck workspace and target IDs before each mutation. For updates, address the existing service/environment explicitly; do not use create commands.
3. Provision only the resources needed by the approved task. Inspect available capacity and current billing implications; existing servers do not guarantee that every additional service/domain/volume is free. If resources would exceed an existing-only budget, report the concrete capacity gap instead of buying. If current plan/billing evidence cannot establish that a proposed creation fits a no-new-cost ceiling, stop before creation and report that uncertainty; do not create resources experimentally to discover their price.
4. Configure dependencies and secrets. Keep raw configuration/log exports in an ignored private directory (0700 directory, 0600 secret files). Never print DSNs, passwords, bearer tokens or private keys in reports or shell tracing. Capture stdout/stderr from mutation commands in these private files; report only redacted metadata. Preserve existing variables; .env import may overwrite the entire set.
5. Deploy the intended source revision/root. Verify actual runtime configuration, readiness/dependency connectivity and public HTTPS with normal certificate validation. Match the live deployment to the intended source revision using platform deployment metadata or an application build marker. Health alone cannot distinguish an old working binary from the intended new one.
6. Run project-specific acceptance, including an unauthorized request and one authenticated core flow where available. Only create/delete explicitly disposable test content. Do not run local database cleanup suites on cloud databases. Distinguish checks actually rerun from historical evidence.
7. Update the project's existing deployment docs with source revision, target IDs, CLI/build method, configuration names (not secrets), endpoint, observed status, verification commands/results, rollback and remaining limits.

Failure and completion rules

• Any timeout/unknown result from project/service/template/domain creation or source upload requires inventory/deployment reconciliation before retry. Do not create duplicates or overlap an upload already in progress.
• Missing configuration: repair the intended service's configuration and restart when required; do not weaken fail-closed checks to get a green deployment.
• TLS provisioning: check status with backoff. Do not bypass a certificate warning, add curl -k, disable certificate validation or weaken mobile ATS settings.
• Failed update: inspect scoped build/runtime logs and preserve data. Use a known previous deployment/image only when schema-compatible. Rollback is not database deletion; backup/approval is needed before an irreversible schema operation.
• After two attempts with no new diagnostic evidence, stop blind retries and report the failing stage, evidence and next necessary action. This does not forbid a targeted fix supported by new evidence.
• A hosted API does not prove mobile installation, real SMS, production readiness or full functional parity. If TestFlight is separately requested, hand off the verified HTTPS endpoint and preserve that release's separate acceptance gates.

End with the actual URL, checks performed, failures/limitations and the updated runbook location. Save only redacted operational evidence. Keep project-specific IDs and historical incidents in project docs, not this reusable skill.
