 The Co-op Cloud utility belt 🎩🐇
 
-`abra` is a command-line tool for managing your own [Co-op Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech). It can provision new servers, create apps, deploy them, run backup and restore operations and a whole lot of other things. Please see [docs.coopcloud.tech](https://docs.coopcloud.tech) for more extensive documentation.
+`abra` is our flagship client & command-line tool which has been developed specifically in the context of the Co-op Cloud project for the purpose of making day-to-day operations for [operators](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/operators/) and [maintainers](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/maintainers/) as convenient as possible. It is libre software, written in [Go](https://go.dev) and maintained and extended by the community ❤
 
-## Hacking
-
-### Getting started
-
-Install [direnv](https://direnv.net), run `cp .envrc.sample .envrc`, then run `direnv allow` in this directory. This will set coopcloud repos as private due to [this bug.](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/coopcloud.tech/issues/20#issuecomment-8201). Or you can run `go env -w GOPRIVATE=coopcloud.tech` but I'm not sure how persistent this is.
-
-Install [Go >= 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/install) and then:
-
-- `make build` to build
-- `./abra` to run commands
-- `make test` will run tests
-- `make install` will install it to `$GOPATH/bin`
-- `go get <package>` and `go mod tidy` to add a new dependency
-
-Our [Drone CI configuration](.drone.yml) runs a number of sanity on each pushed commit. See the [Makefile](./Makefile) for more handy targets.
-
-Please use the [conventional commit format](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) for your commits so we can automate our change log.
-
-### Versioning
-
-We use [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com) to help us automate releases. We use [semver](https://semver.org) for versioning all releases of the tool. While we are still in the public alpha release phase, we will maintain a `0.y.z-alpha` format. Change logs are generated from our commit logs. We are still working this out and aim to refine our release praxis as we go.
-
-For developers, while using this `-alpha` format, the `y` part is the "major" version part. So, if you make breaking changes, you increment that and _not_ the `x` part. So, if you're on `0.1.0-alpha`, then you'd go to `0.1.1-alpha` for a backwards compatible change and `0.2.0-alpha` for a backwards incompatible change.
-
-### Making a new release
-
-- Change `ABRA_VERSION` to match the new tag in [`scripts`](./scripts/installer/installer) (use [semver](https://semver.org))
-- Commit that change (e.g. `git commit -m 'chore: publish next tag x.y.z-alpha'`)
-- Make a new tag (e.g. `git tag -a x.y.z-alpha`)
-- Push the new tag (e.g. `git push && git push --tags`)
-- Wait until the build finishes on [build.coopcloud.tech](https://build.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra)
-- Deploy the new installer script (e.g. `cd ./scripts/installer && make`)
-- Check the release worked, (e.g. `abra upgrade; abra -v`)
-
-### Fork maintenance
-
-#### `godotenv`
-
-We maintain a fork of [godotenv](https://github.com/Autonomic-Cooperative/godotenv) for two features:
-
-1. multi-line env var support
-2. inline comment parsing
-
-You can upgrade the version here by running `go get github.com/Autonomic-Cooperative/godotenv@<commit>` where `<commit>` is the
-latest commit you want to pin to. We are aiming to migrate to YAML format for the environment configuration, so this should only
-be a temporary thing.
-
-#### `docker/client`
-
-A number of modules in [pkg/upstream](./pkg/upstream) are copy/pasta'd from the upstream [docker/docker/client](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/docker/client). We had to do this because upstream are not exposing their API as public.
+Please see [docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/) for help on install, upgrade, hacking, troubleshooting & more!

+Woops, Abra is unable to connect to connect to %s.
+
+Here are a few tips for debugging your local SSH config. Abra uses plain 'ol
+SSH to make connections to servers, so if your SSH config is working, Abra is
+working.
+
+In the first place, Abra will always try to read your Docker context connection
+string for SSH connection details. You can view your server context configs
+with the following command. Are they correct?
+
+    abra server ls
+
+Is your ssh-agent running? You can start it by running the following command:
+
+    eval "$(ssh-agent)"
+
+If your SSH private key loaded? You can check by running the following command:
+
+    ssh-add -L
+
+If, you can add it with:
+
+    ssh-add ~/.ssh/<private-key-part>
+
+If you are using a non-default public/private key, you can configure this in
+your ~/.ssh/config file which Abra will read in order to figure out connection
+details:
+
+Host foo.coopcloud.tech
+  Hostname foo.coopcloud.tech
+  User bar
+  Port 12345
+  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bar@foo.coopcloud.tech
+
+If you're only using password authentication, you can use the following config:
+
+Host foo.coopcloud.tech
+  Hostname foo.coopcloud.tech
+  User bar
+  Port 12345
+  PreferredAuthentications=password
+  PubkeyAuthentication=no
+
+Good luck!
+
+`
+
+var ServerAddFailMsg = `
+Failed to add server %s.
+
+This could be caused by two things.
+
+Abra isn't picking up your SSH configuration or you need to specify it on the
+command-line (e.g you use a non-standard port or username to connect). Run
+"server add" with "-d/--debug" to learn more about what Abra is doing under the
+hood.
+
+Docker is not installed on your server. You can pass "-p/--provision" to
+install Docker and initialise Docker Swarm mode. See help output for "server
+add"
+
+See "abra server add -h" for more.
+
+`
+
+// SubCommandBefore wires up pre-action machinery (e.g. --debug handling).
