Finding the right place
For when you know what you want but not where it lives.
Day to day you work with three things, and it helps to know what each is for.
Your AI assistant with gh0stcli is the fastest route for anything you want to do: set up, deploy, or look into why something is stuck. You describe the goal, it checks the current state and proposes the steps.
The portal is where you go for anything you want to know or decide: state, cost, credit, access, and anything that needs approval.
Your repository is where your application is defined. What is in there is what runs. Nothing else.
Rough rule: change things through the assistant and Git; look and decide in the portal.
Common tasks
| You want to | Fastest route |
|---|---|
| deploy your first application | ask the assistant; it walks you through |
| update an image | tell the assistant the new tag |
| connect your own repository | ask the assistant for the guided setup |
| set up a domain or HTTPS | portal, Netzwerk & Exposure |
| reach an external service | portal, Netzwerk & Exposure, with a request if needed |
| add storage or a database | portal, Storage & Backups |
| check whether something is running | ask the assistant, or look in the portal |
| check cost and credit | portal, Kosten & Nutzung |
| add someone to the team | portal, Organisation |
A sequence that reliably works
- Tell your assistant what should be running at the end.
- Have it check the current state before changing anything.
- Look at what it proposes.
- Confirm only the steps you actually want.
- Check the result afterwards.
Step two is the one people skip and then regret. "Check the current state first and do not change anything yet" is a sentence that pays for itself repeatedly.
Three things that save trouble
Use the names from your account (namespace, hostname, repository path), not ones that sound plausible. Do not share passwords or tokens in chat; your assistant can walk you through storing them safely. And when an action is not permitted, take the request route offered rather than looking for a way around it.
