Zeabur Server SSH + kubectl

Always use npx zeabur@latest to invoke Zeabur CLI. Never use zeabur directly or any other installation method.

Run commands on a user's dedicated server, and use kubectl to debug Kubernetes workloads on servers that run ZeaburOS.

Check which kind of server you are on before using kubectl

• ZeaburOS servers run k3s with kubectl pre-installed. Everything in this skill applies.
• Ubuntu — a rented server that is not running ZeaburOS. It has no k3s and no kubectl; every kubectl command below fails with command not found. server exec still works for ordinary shell commands.

Renting provisions Ubuntu only, so never assume kubectl exists.

Read the machine's kind from the CLI — do not SSH in to work it out:
