# Fly.io Deployment
Deploy Clawdbot on [Fly.io](https://fly.io) with persistent storage and automatic HTTPS.
## Prerequisites
- [flyctl CLI](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/) installed
- Fly.io account
## Quick Start
```bash
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot.git
cd clawdbot
# Create the app (first time only)
fly apps create clawdbot
# Create persistent volume for data
fly volumes create clawdbot_data --size 1 --region lhr
# Set your secrets
fly secrets set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
# Add other provider keys as needed
# Deploy
fly deploy
```
## Configuration
The included `fly.toml` is a starting template. Key settings to customize:
### VM Size
The default `shared-cpu-1x` with 512MB may be too small for production. Recommended:
```toml
[[vm]]
size = "shared-cpu-2x"
memory = "2048mb"
```
### Bind Address
**Important**: The gateway must bind to `0.0.0.0` for Fly's proxy to reach it:
```toml
[processes]
app = "node dist/index.js gateway --allow-unconfigured --port 3000 --bind lan"
```
When using `--bind lan`, you must also set a gateway token for security:
```bash
fly secrets set CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
```
### State Directory
Store persistent data on the volume:
```toml
[env]
CLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR = "/data"
```
### Full Example
```toml
[env]
NODE_ENV = "production"
CLAWDBOT_PREFER_PNPM = "1"
CLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR = "/data"
NODE_OPTIONS = "--max-old-space-size=1536"
[processes]
app = "node dist/index.js gateway --allow-unconfigured --port 3000 --bind lan"
[[vm]]
size = "shared-cpu-2x"
memory = "2048mb"
```
## Secrets
Set your API keys as secrets (never commit these):
```bash
fly secrets set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
fly secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
fly secrets set GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
```
## Accessing the Gateway
After deployment:
```bash
# Open the web UI
fly open
# Check logs
fly logs
# SSH into the machine
fly ssh console
```
## Troubleshooting
### "App is not listening on expected address"
If you see this warning, the gateway is binding to `127.0.0.1` instead of `0.0.0.0`. Add `--bind lan` to your process command (see Configuration above).
### OOM / Memory Issues
If the container gets killed or restarts frequently, increase memory:
```toml
[[vm]]
memory = "2048mb"
```
### Gateway Lock Issues
If the gateway refuses to start with "already running" errors after a container restart, this is a stale PID lock. The lock file persists on the volume but the process doesn't survive restarts.
**Fix**: Delete the lock file via SSH:
```bash
fly ssh console
rm /data/.clawdbot/run/gateway.*.lock
```
Then restart the machine.
## Notes
- Fly.io uses **x86** architecture (not ARM)
- The Dockerfile is compatible with both architectures
- For WhatsApp/Telegram, you'll need to run onboarding via `fly ssh console`
