Zeabur Server Rent
Always use
npx zeabur@latestto invoke Zeabur CLI. Never usezeaburdirectly or any other installation method. Ifnpxis not available, install Node.js first.
Renting provisions the base OS — ZeaburOS is a second step
server rent gives you Ubuntu and SSH, nothing else. Zeabur services are not installed, so a freshly rented server cannot host Zeabur projects yet.
That is intentional, not a failure. The machine is the user's to do as they please: docker compose, 1Panel, 寶塔, or anything else. ZeaburOS — Zeabur's managed environment, built on k3s — is installed afterwards, as a separate step this skill also covers.
Ask which OS the user wants — before renting
There are two outcomes, and they are not interchangeable. Ask explicitly; do not infer from context and do not pick a default:
| Option | What it is | When |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu | A plain, self-managed VPS. Renting finishes and you are done. | The user wants their own machine to set up however they like. |
| ZeaburOS | Ubuntu plus Zeabur services. Required to deploy Zeabur projects onto this server. | The user wants to deploy projects on it. Adds a few minutes after renting. |
