SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deployments of Guardian Core (brain) and the Phoenix Platform can be error-prone and require multiple manual steps. This Skill automates the end-to-end deployment process, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent releases across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated brains and platform deployment orchestration (brain, platform, or both) from a single command.
  • Environment-aware deployment that handles local Linux brain and OVH-hosted Phoenix Platform updates.
  • Use Case: When a user says "deploy", trigger brain deployment first, then platform, or deploy a specific component as requested.

Quick Start

Use the self-update skill to deploy brain with a single command: cd platform && mix deploy.brain. Use it to deploy the Phoenix Platform: cd platform && mix deploy.platform. To deploy both, run the brain command followed by the platform command.

How do I automate Elixir Phoenix platform deployment across remote VPS environments?

Automate Elixir Phoenix platform deployment by running Mix deploy tasks that sync code, provision dependencies, manage systemd services, and execute health checks across remote OVH VPS environments.

What's the best way to run a local Linux brain deployment for Guardian Core?

Run a local Linux brain deployment by executing the Mix deploy.brain task within the platform directory to sync code and provision dependencies for the Guardian Core brain.

Can I deploy both the Guardian Core brain and the Phoenix Platform with a single command?

Deploy both components by running the Mix deploy.brain command followed by the Mix deploy.platform command to sequentially orchestrate the Guardian Core brain and Phoenix Platform updates.

Does the deployment automation handle systemd service management and health checks?

The deployment automation manages systemd services and performs health checks to ensure consistent releases and reduce downtime during Guardian Core and Phoenix Platform updates.

Why does manual Elixir deployment fail and how does automated orchestration fix it?

Manual Elixir deployment is error-prone and requires multiple steps. Automated orchestration eliminates manual errors by applying consistent Mix deploy tasks, dependency provisioning, and health checks across environments.

Do I need SSH access to perform remote platform updates on OVH VPS environments?

Remote platform updates across OVH VPS environments require SSH access to sync code, provision dependencies, and manage systemd services during automated Phoenix Platform deployments.
