Zeabur Variables Management

Known Issues

1. Use --id not --name - name lookup unreliable
2. ${VAR} gets empty - shell expands before CLI receives
3. variable update may clear all vars - bug in CLI

Create Variables

# ✅ Use service ID
npx zeabur@latest variable create --id <service-id> \
  --key "KEY1=value1" \
  --key "KEY2=value2" \
  -y -i=false

Variable References

# ❌ FAILS - shell expands ${VAR} to empty
--key "REDIS_URL=${REDIS_URI_INTERNAL}"

# ✅ Set references in Dashboard instead

List Variables

npx zeabur@latest variable list --id <service-id> -i=false

For ${VAR} references → Use Zeabur Dashboard, not CLI.
