Canadian Gator tour guide

  • Dev site / main hub
  • Command Library & status pages
  • Apothecary, Minecraft server info, and more
Swamp personality

Fun, but still useful

Gator Bot answers with a light, playful tone without getting in the way of real information.
  • Quick one-line tips and hints
  • On-brand jokes and “swamp lore”
  • Explains things like a patient nerd, not a manual
Getting started

How to talk to Gator Bot

No special syntax needed. Just talk to it like you would to a tech-savvy friend who lives inside your server rack.

Tips

Ask better, get better

  • Be specific. Instead of “help”, try: “How do I check Fail2Ban bans?” or “Explain this docker compose error.”
  • Mention your tools. Ask about gatorhealth, gatorjail, Nextcloud, Wallabag, Minecraft, etc.
  • Ask for step-by-step. Gator Bot can give copy-paste-ready commands or slower “explain like I’m tired” versions.
Quick start

Example prompts you can use

  • “Explain every section of my gatorhealth output.”
  • “Help me wire up a new Docker service for my VPS.”
  • “What should I check if my site feels slow?”
  • “Give me a Canadian Gator-style error message for 500 pages.”
Examples

Sample conversations

Here are a few ways visitors (or future you) might use Gator Bot without guessing what to type.

VPS & commands

Diagnosing the Swamp

Example

You: “Read this gatorhealth output and tell me what looks off.”
Gator Bot: “Memory looks fine, but your Minecraft container is using the most RAM. Here’s what that means and what to tweak.”

Navigation

Finding your way

Example

You: “Where do I see site status?”
Gator Bot: “Head over to the status page. If it’s down, here are commands you can run to check containers and logs.”

Lore & fun

Just vibes

Example

You: “Write a Canadian Gator-style warning if someone pokes the server at 3 a.m.”
Gator Bot: “‘Unauthorized 3 a.m. swamp visit detected. Please step away from the console and drink some water.’”

For the curious

Under the hood & safety notes

A tiny peek behind the curtain, and a few guardrails so nobody expects Gator Bot to do human jobs it shouldn’t.

Tech

What powers Gator Bot?

Gator Bot is powered by modern AI (OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 Thinking model) and customized with Canadian Gator knowledge, tone, and common tasks.

  • Designed to explain, not to blindly automate
  • Helps you reason through changes before you run them
  • Built to match the Canadian Gator brand and lore

Human stays in control

Limitations & safety

What Gator Bot does not do

  • No real-world actions
    Gator Bot can’t log in, click buttons, or change your VPS by itself. It only suggests commands and steps.
  • No sensitive secrets
    Don’t share real passwords, long-term tokens, banking info, or anything you wouldn’t paste in a public chat.
  • Not professional advice
    It can help you understand things, but it’s not a doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor. Treat it as guidance, not final word.
