Zeabur Project Create

Always use npx zeabur@latest to invoke Zeabur CLI. Never use zeabur directly or any other installation method. If npx is not available, install Node.js first.

Choosing a Region

Do NOT hardcode or guess region codes. Old region codes like hnd1, tpe1 are deprecated. The region must always be derived from the user's server list.

Step 1 — List the user's servers:

npx zeabur@latest server list -i=false --json

Step 2 — Ask the user which server to use:

Present the server list to the user (show name, provider, and region for each) and ask them to pick one. Do NOT choose a server on the user's behalf. Also offer the option to rent a new server if none of the existing ones are suitable.

If the user has no servers, guide them to rent one first using the zeabur-server-rent skill (or zeabur-server-catalog to browse options).

Step 3 — Use the selected server ID with server- prefix as the region:

The region code format is server-<server-id>, where <server-id> comes from the server list output.

Some templates (e.g. with REQUIRE_DEDICATED_SERVER) can only be deployed on dedicated servers. If you get Unsupported template (code: REQUIRE_DEDICATED_SERVER), rent a dedicated server and recreate the project with its region.

Create Project

# Create project with name and region (region must be server-<server-id>)
npx zeabur@latest project create -n "<project-name>" -r "server-<server-id>" -i=false --json

Get Project ID

# List projects as JSON and extract project ID by name
PROJECT_ID=$(npx zeabur@latest project list -i=false --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "<project-name>") | ._id')

Deploy Template to Project

# Deploy template file to specific project (non-interactive)
npx zeabur@latest template deploy -i=false --json \
  -f <template-file> \
  --project-id <project-id> \
  --var PUBLIC_DOMAIN=myapp \
  --var KEY=value

Workflow

# 1. Find server ID
npx zeabur@latest server list -i=false --json

# 2. Create project (use server-<id> from step 1)
npx zeabur@latest project create -n "wrenai-prod" -r "server-<server-id>" -i=false --json

# 3. Get project ID
PROJECT_ID=$(npx zeabur@latest project list -i=false --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "wrenai-prod") | ._id')
echo "Project ID: $PROJECT_ID"
echo "Dashboard: https://zeabur.com/projects/$PROJECT_ID"

# 4. Deploy template (non-interactive)
npx zeabur@latest template deploy -i=false --json -f template.yml --project-id $PROJECT_ID --var PUBLIC_DOMAIN=myapp
