Sets up, runs, and troubleshoots Kamal deployments (v1 and v2) — zero-downtime Docker deploys to VPS or bare-metal servers. Use when the user mentions Kamal, kamal-proxy, or Traefik, edits config/deploy.yml or .kamal/secrets, or asks to deploy an app to their own server, roll back, add accessories like Postgres or Redis, fix a failed deploy or healthcheck, or upgrade from Kamal 1 to 2.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kamal Deployment Skill Kamal is an open-source tool (by Basecamp/37signals) that deploys any Dockerized app to bare-metal servers or cloud VMs with zero downtime. It builds a Docker image, pushes it to a registry, pulls it on your servers, and hot-swaps traffic via a built-in proxy — no Kubernetes, no complex PaaS needed. ## Version Detection — Do This First Before generating any config or running any command, determine which version is in play: ```bash kamal version # prints e.g. "2.10.1" or "1.9.2" ``` If Kamal isn't installed yet, infer from the repo: - `traefik:` key in `config/deploy.yml` + `.env`/`.env.erb` file → **Kamal 1.x** → read `references/kamal-v1.md` - `proxy:` key in `config/deploy.yml` + `.kamal/secrets` file → **Kamal 2.x** - No existing config → **default to Kamal 2.x** (current; install with `gem install kamal`) **Key v1 → v2 differences at a glance:** | Area | Kamal 1.9.x | Kamal 2.x | |---|---|---| | Proxy | Traefik (`traefik:` block, raw labels/args) | kamal-proxy (`proxy:` block, `host`/`ssl`/`app_port`) | | SSL | Manual Traefik ACME config or Cloudflare | Native Let's Encrypt (`ssl: true`) | …

How to install
mdr add eagerworks/skills/kamal@sha256:b7d7b0e35d921afbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
