Zeabur Update Service Without Redeploy

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.

Workflow

# 1. Get service ID (use the `zeabur-service-list` skill)
npx zeabur@latest service list --project-id <project-id> -i=false

# 2. Check current variables
npx zeabur@latest variable list --id <service-id> -i=false

# 3. Add/update variables
npx zeabur@latest variable create --id <service-id> \
  --key "KEY1=value1" \
  --key "KEY2=value2" \
  -i=false -y

# 4. Restart service (use the `zeabur-restart` skill for details)
npx zeabur@latest service restart --id <service-id> -y -i=false

Caveats

Update Image Tag (Upgrade Service Version)

For prebuilt/marketplace services, update the image tag to upgrade to a newer version.

Workflow

# 1. Get service ID (use the `zeabur-service-list` skill)
npx zeabur@latest service list --project-id <project-id> -i=false

# 2. Update tag (triggers redeploy automatically)
npx zeabur@latest service update tag --id <service-id> -t <new-tag> -y -i=false

Flags

Note: Updating the tag triggers a new deployment. The service will restart with the updated image.

When to Use

• Fix environment variable typos
• Add missing config
• Change ports, URLs, credentials
• Upgrade a prebuilt service to a newer version
