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
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
npx zeabur@latest service restart --id <service-id> -y -i=false
