Why Install OpenClaw

The autonomy of self-hosting with none of the overhead

Universal Provider Support

Hetzner, Vultr, DigitalOcean, AWS, bare metal in your closet — it does not matter. OpenClaw runs wherever Linux runs. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary infrastructure requirements.

Full Data Sovereignty

Every conversation, file, and command log lives on hardware you own. Nothing transits third-party storage. Compliance teams can audit everything locally without external dependencies.

Managed Simplicity

We handle provisioning, updates, TLS certificates, and health monitoring so you can focus on the work your AI agent does — not the plumbing underneath it.

How It Works

Three steps from bare metal to working agent

01

Connect your server

Provide SSH credentials or spin up a fresh VPS from any provider. We support Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS out of the box.

02

We install OpenClaw

Our provisioner configures the runtime, sets up encrypted storage, issues TLS certificates, and connects the agent to your messaging channels.

03

Start messaging your AI

Send your first task through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Your agent is live and ready to execute real work on your infrastructure.

Features

Everything your agent can do out of the box

File Management

Read, write, and organize files

Navigate directory trees, create archives, transform data between formats, and move files across storage backends — all through natural language.

Terminal Access

Run shell commands directly

Execute scripts, manage services, inspect logs, and orchestrate multi-step terminal workflows without ever opening an SSH session yourself.

Web Automation

Scrape, monitor, and interact

Fetch live data from websites, fill forms, capture screenshots, and track changes on pages. Your agent browses the web so you do not have to.

API Orchestration

Chain external services together

Call REST and GraphQL endpoints, parse responses, and feed data between services. Build multi-step integrations described in plain English.

Persistent Memory

Context that survives restarts

Your agent retains project knowledge, preferences, and past decisions across sessions. Pick up any conversation exactly where you left off.

Multi-Model Support

Choose your intelligence layer

Route tasks to Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, or local models via Ollama. Switch providers per task or let the agent pick the best fit automatically.

Testimonials

Trusted by teams who value ownership

“We moved our entire DevOps notification pipeline to OpenClaw. Server alerts, deployment confirmations, and log summaries all land in our Telegram group now. Saved us two internal tools.”

Priya Menon

Platform Lead at Ridgepoint Systems

“I run a one-person consultancy and OpenClaw is basically my second employee. It handles file backups, client report generation, and even monitors my staging environments overnight.”

Tobias Eklund

Independent Software Consultant

“Data residency was non-negotiable for our healthcare clients. With OpenClaw on our own servers in Frankfurt, we passed our ISO audit without a single finding related to AI tooling.”

Clara Whitfield

CTO at Meridian Health Tech

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers

What kind of server do I need to run OpenClaw?
Any Linux machine with at least 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk space. Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, and CentOS 9+ are officially supported. ARM and x86 architectures both work.
Do I need to manage Docker or Kubernetes?
No. Our installer handles all containerization and orchestration behind the scenes. You never need to touch Docker commands unless you want to. The entire stack is managed for you.
How does OpenClaw connect to my messaging apps?
During setup, you link your WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack accounts through our guided flow. The agent registers as a bot in each platform using official APIs. No screen scraping or unofficial methods.
Is my data sent to any third-party servers?
Conversation data and files stay exclusively on your server. The only external calls are to AI model providers (like Anthropic or OpenAI) when processing requests, and those calls contain only the current task context — never stored history.
Can I use local AI models instead of cloud providers?
Yes. OpenClaw supports Ollama and llama.cpp for fully offline inference. You can run open-weight models like Llama, Mistral, or Phi directly on your server hardware, including GPU-accelerated setups.
What happens if my server goes offline?
Our monitoring system detects downtime within 60 seconds and sends you an alert. Messages received while offline are queued and processed automatically once the server recovers. No messages are lost.
Can multiple team members use the same agent?
Absolutely. On Pro and Business plans, you can invite team members who each get their own conversation thread with the shared agent. Permissions let you control who can run destructive commands.
How do updates and security patches work?
We push updates to your server automatically during a maintenance window you configure. Critical security patches are applied immediately. You can also pin versions if you need change-control approval first.

Your server is waiting for an AI that actually works.

Pick a plan, point us at your machine, and have a fully operational AI agent inside five minutes. No lock-in, no data compromises, no complexity.
