Deploy a new image to a VPS Ubuntu host using GHCR and a deploy script.Key capabilities
- →Confirm target environment and image tag
- →Verify no secrets are exposed
- →Use a deploy script or image updater on the VPS
- →Verify health checks and metrics
- →Require explicit confirmation before touching production
- →Provide rollback steps before execution
How it works
This skill confirms the target environment and image tag, verifies no secrets are exposed, then uses a deploy script or image updater on the VPS to pull and restart, and finally verifies health checks and metrics.
Inputs & outputs
When to use deploy-vps
- →Deploy to production VPS
- →Update staging images
- →Rollback failed deployments
- →Verify server health
About this skill
Intent
Use for GitOps-style deploys to a VPS when a new image is pushed.
Steps
- Confirm target env (dev|stage|prd|custom) and image tag.
- Verify no secrets are exposed; use placeholders.
- Use a deploy script or image updater on the VPS to pull and restart.
- Verify health checks and metrics (Prometheus/Grafana) if available.
Safety
- Require explicit confirmation before touching production.
- Provide rollback steps (previous tag) before execution.
When not to use it
- →When not deploying to a VPS Ubuntu host
- →When not using GHCR for images
- →When not using a deploy script
Limitations
- →Limited to VPS Ubuntu hosts
- →Requires GHCR for images
- →Relies on a deploy script or image updater on the VPS
How it compares
This workflow includes pre-deployment checks for secrets and health, and provides rollback steps, which a manual deployment might omit.
