RoboClaw

🚧 PROJECT NOT FUNCTIONAL — This project is currently in early development and is not in a functional state.

Want to get involved? Join the OpenClaw Discord community where active development is happening in the voice chat channels! Follow @RoboClawX for updates. This is where the community is building RoboClaw together.

Deploy your own OpenClaw instance in minutes. Free, secure, and fully reversible. (Coming soon)

Quick Start

# 1. Deploy OpenClaw to your server via SSH
roboclaw deploy --ssh user@your-server-ip

# Example output:
# ✓ Connected via SSH
# ✓ Running Ansible playbook...
# ✓ OpenClaw installed
# ✓ RoboClaw features configured
# ✓ Your personal OpenClaw is ready!
# 🎉 Dashboard: https://your-server-ip:3000

# 2. Connect to your server and onboard RoboClaw
ssh user@your-server-ip
sudo su - roboclaw
openclaw onboard --install-daemon

What You Get

• Your Data Stays on Your Server — Full control over your data
• Your Secrets Stay on Your Computer — API keys and passwords never leave your machine
• No Vendor Lock-In — Works with any cloud provider (AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Hetzner, or even your home server)
• Automatic Backups — Your configurations are automatically backed up
• Activity Logging — See everything your AI agents do
• Secure Password Storage — Credentials are encrypted and stored safely

How It Works

RoboClaw uses SSH and Ansible to deploy OpenClaw to your server. Powered by openclaw/clawdbot-ansible.

1. Connect to your VPS — Uses your SSH credentials to access your server
2. Provision the Server — Installs Docker, Node.js, and other dependencies
3. Install OpenClaw — Deploys the latest OpenClaw version
4. Configure Security — Sets up firewall rules and creates dedicated user accounts
5. Enable RoboClaw Features — Configures automatic updates, backups, and activity logging

Everything runs from your local machine. No manual SSH configuration required.

Requirements

• A VPS or server with SSH access
• Ubuntu 24.04 (recommended) or similar Linux distribution
• Python 3.12+ (for Ansible)
• SSH key or password authentication

Post-Installation

After deploying, connect to your server and run the onboarding wizard:

# 1. SSH into your server
ssh user@your-server-ip

# 2. Switch to the roboclaw user
sudo su - roboclaw

# 3. Run onboarding wizard
openclaw onboard --install-daemon

# This will:
# - Configure messaging provider (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Matrix)
# - Create roboclaw.json config
# - Install systemd service
# - Start the daemon

Security

• Firewall Protection — UFW blocks all incoming traffic except SSH (22)
• Docker Isolation — Containers are isolated and can't bypass the firewall
• Non-root User — OpenClaw runs as a dedicated roboclaw user
• SSH Key Authentication — Supports ed25519 and RSA keys
• Encrypted Credentials — API tokens and passwords are stored securely
