# OceanBase Deploy & Operations (obd)

This is the entry point for OceanBase operations via `obd`. Use the specialized skills below for specific tasks.

## Skill Index

| Skill | Use When |
|-------|----------|
| [cluster-management](cluster-management/SKILL.md) | Deploy, start, stop, upgrade, scale out clusters. OCP CE takeover. Monitoring setup. |
| [tenant-management](tenant-management/SKILL.md) | Create/drop tenants, backup, restore, optimize workloads. |
| [seekdb](seekdb/SKILL.md) | seekdb install, deploy, HA (switchover/failover/decouple). |
| [testing-and-benchmark](testing-and-benchmark/SKILL.md) | Sysbench, TPC-H, TPC-C benchmarks; mysqltest functional tests. |

## Quick Start

```bash
obd demo
```

Deploys a local demo cluster with default ports (2881 MySQL, 2882 RPC, 2886 obshell).

## Installation

If `obd` is not installed, download from:
[https://mirrors.oceanbase.com/community/stable/el/](https://mirrors.oceanbase.com/community/stable/el/)

Official quick-start guide:
[https://www.oceanbase.com/docs/common-obd-cn-1000000005246289](https://www.oceanbase.com/docs/common-obd-cn-1000000005246289)

## OCP Terminology Convention

- "Deploy OCP" always means **OCP CE** (`ocp-ce`), never `ocp-express`.
- `ocp-express` has been replaced by `obshell dashboard` (port 2886). Do not deploy it.
- See [cluster-management/references/ocp-ce.md](cluster-management/references/ocp-ce.md) for details.

## Critical Safety Rules

These destructive commands always require explicit user confirmation:

1. `obd cluster destroy` — Destroys cluster and data
2. `obd cluster redeploy` — Destroys and redeploys, data loss
3. `obd cluster prune-config` — Deletes config files
