Deploy OpenClaw
Run OpenClaw on Wodby with a managed stack built for private gateway access, repeatable environments, and a simpler deployment workflow on Kubernetes or K3S.
Deploy OpenClaw faster with a managed stack
Start from an OpenClaw stack designed for Wodby instead of wiring together runtime services, networking, and infrastructure settings by hand.
Keep gateway access private by default
Use Tailscale integration to keep your OpenClaw gateway available inside your tailnet instead of exposing it directly to the public internet.
Run on your infrastructure or Wodby Cloud
Choose managed Kubernetes, lower-cost K3S on your own server, or Wodby Cloud while keeping the same operating model.
A practical deployment model for OpenClaw gateways
OpenClaw workloads benefit from predictable deployments, private network access, and an always-on runtime that is not tied to a developer laptop or workstation.
Wodby makes that practical by packaging OpenClaw as a managed stack with Tailscale integration on top of Kubernetes and K3S, so teams can deploy gateways cleanly without building the hosting layer from scratch.
A practical fit for OpenClaw workloads
- Keep OpenClaw gateway access private inside your tailnet.
- Run always-on gateways on dedicated servers, VMs, or managed clusters.
- Reuse the same deployment flow across development and production environments.
- Reduce custom work around provider integrations and infrastructure setup.
What you get with OpenClaw on Wodby
- Managed OpenClaw stack centered on the gateway service itself
- Built-in Tailscale integration for private-by-default access
- Reusable AI provider integrations for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini
- Optional messaging integrations such as Telegram and Discord
- Flexible hosting via Wodby Cloud or lower-cost K3S on your own server
How OpenClaw deployment works on Wodby
- 1
Choose the infrastructure model that fits: managed Kubernetes from your preferred provider, Wodby Cloud, or a lean K3S setup on your own server.
- 2
Create a new app from the OpenClaw stack and add the required integrations such as Tailscale and your preferred AI provider.
- 3
Configure networking, environment variables, and access settings for your gateway.
- 4
Deploy the app, connect through your tailnet, and approve devices from the gateway workflow.

Suitable for private gateway and agent workloads
If you want to run OpenClaw in an always-on environment with tighter network access and a repeatable deployment process, this setup is built for that model.
Wodby gives you a managed OpenClaw gateway stack with the small set of integrations that actually matter for this workload.
Step-by-step OpenClaw deployment guide
If you want the exact flow for setting up Tailscale, deploying the OpenClaw stack, copying the gateway token, and approving devices, use the full walkthrough guide.
It covers deploying OpenClaw privately with Tailscale on Wodby from the first integration step through connecting your local CLI and nodes.
Choose the hosting model that fits your team
Run Wodby on your own managed Kubernetes, on a lean K3s server, or on fully managed Wodby Cloud.
Managed Kubernetes in your cloud account
Connect AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Azure, or another supported provider and let Wodby provision and manage the cluster setup in your own account.

See Wodby CloudIntegrations that matter for OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a small stack. The relevant integrations are the ones that connect the gateway to AI providers, messaging channels, and private network access.
OpenAI
Attach your OpenAI API credentials to the OpenClaw gateway without hardcoding secrets.
Anthropic
Use Anthropic as an OpenClaw provider through a reusable integration in Wodby.
Gemini
Connect Gemini credentials to the gateway when you want Google models available in OpenClaw.
Telegram
Wire Telegram into the stack for chat-based workflows and notifications where supported.
Discord
Connect Discord credentials for OpenClaw-related messaging and bot workflows.
Tailscale
Keep the OpenClaw gateway private by default and reachable only inside your tailnet.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.
We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.
Tony MillerDirector at Eighty Options
Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
Martin Normann LundCTO at Ramsalt Lab
Wodby has proven to be an invaluable tool for Druid. It offers cost-effective solutions for our smaller customers, and its self-service dashboard empowers us to efficiently handle operations independently, reducing our reliance on support. We highly recommend Wodby for its user-friendly approach and cost-efficiency.
