VPS hosting hub for Clawdbot (Oracle/Fly/Hetzner/GCP/exe.dev)
You want to run the Gateway in the cloud
You need a quick map of VPS/hosting guides

VPS hosting

This hub links to the supported VPS/hosting guides and explains how cloud deployments work at a high level.

Pick a provider

How cloud setups work

  • The Gateway runs on the VPS and owns state + workspace.
  • You connect from your laptop/phone via the Control UI or Tailscale/SSH.
  • Treat the VPS as the source of truth and back up the state + workspace.
  • Secure default: keep the Gateway on loopback and access it via SSH tunnel or Tailscale Serve. If you bind to lan/tailnet, require gateway.auth.token or gateway.auth.password.

Remote access: Gateway remote
Platforms hub: Platforms

Using nodes with a VPS

You can keep the Gateway in the cloud and pair nodes on your local devices (Mac/iOS/Android/headless). Nodes provide local screen/camera/canvas and system.run capabilities while the Gateway stays in the cloud.
