Guides

Guides cover task-oriented workflows after the first successful deploy.

Available Guides​

  • Customer Domains: attach a hostname you control and understand DNS plus ACME validation modes.
  • Cargo SSH Jobs: scaffold an inspectable Script/Cargo SSH project and diagnose public SNI SSH routing.

Common Task Pattern​

Most Switchboard workflows follow the same pattern:

  1. Inspect with a read-only command.
  2. Dry run when the command supports it.
  3. Run the mutating command with the required confirmation flag.
  4. Read back state from the relay, Hub, gateway, or local report.
  5. Diagnose the failing stage before retrying spend.

For deploys, use:

proof switchboard preflight --quote
proof switchboard deploy --yes --dry-run --json
proof switchboard deploy --yes
proof switchboard status

For local recovery, start read-only:

proof switchboard deploy status
proof switchboard deploy doctor --report <report.json>

Do not use admin recovery commands from old runbooks unless PROOF support asks you to. Public user workflows should stay on the normal Switchboard CLI surface.
