Can this skill fix my code errors automatically?

It can auto-fix configuration issues like missing environment variables or stale locks. For application code or Dockerfile errors, it provides diagnostic context and prompts you to apply the fix before retrying.

What is OtterStack and why does this skill use it?

OtterStack is a deployment framework that manages containers and environments. This skill uses it to standardize how applications are started, updated, and monitored on the VPS.

How many times will the skill attempt to fix a deployment?

When running in orchestrated mode, the skill is designed to iterate through the debug loop up to 6 times by default to resolve persistent issues.

What happens if a health check fails during deployment?

The skill will analyze the container logs, test the health endpoint manually via SSH, and check for common issues like port mismatches or slow startup times to suggest a fix.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the deployment, diagnosis, and iterative repair of applications on a production VPS using OtterStack.

About

The Debug VPS Deployment skill provides a robust automated workflow for deploying projects to a production VPS and resolving failures in real-time. It utilizes an intelligent decision tree to diagnose common deployment hurdles such as Docker Compose validation errors, container startup crashes, health check timeouts, and environment variable mismatches. Whether invoked as a standalone tool or as part of a larger orchestration loop, it streamlines the DevOps cycle by applying fixes automatically where possible or guiding the user through manual code adjustments until the application is verified as healthy and running.
