FAQ

Can I use a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, as long as it meets the minimum requirements (2GB RAM, ARM64 architecture). A Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB or 8GB RAM works well for single-agent deployments.

Does my server need a static IP?

A static IP is recommended for reliable webhook delivery, but dynamic DNS solutions also work. OpenClaw will attempt reconnection if your IP changes.

Can I run OpenClaw alongside other software?

Yes. OpenClaw runs in an isolated environment and coexists with other applications on the same server. Resource contention is the only consideration — ensure you have enough headroom.
