| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| Permission denied (publickey) | Check SSH secret key; ensure public key is in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on Ubuntu. |
| UPD script fails midway | Add set -e and logging; use apt-get install -y --fix-broken. |
| GitHub Actions runner can't reach Ubuntu server | Check firewall (port 22), VPN, or use a self-hosted runner inside your network. |
| Duplicate updates if workflow runs multiple times | Implement a lockfile (/tmp/upd.lock) in your script. |
