Do I need to have an account on a cloud provider to use Wodby?

You can connect your own managed Kubernetes provider or a dedicated server with K3S. Alternatively, you can use Wodby Cloud when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Can I use Wodby with a dedicated server?

Yes. Wodby supports dedicated servers by installing a lightweight Kubernetes distribution like K3S.

I couldn't find my specific application stack, how do I start?

Start with the closest pre-configured stack and customize it, or build a stack from managed services. You can also contact Wodby to request a new stack.

Will I be vendor locked-in to Wodby?

No. Wodby is built on open standards like Kubernetes. You can disconnect your cluster and keep running your apps, but Wodby-managed tasks stop.

I have a small website (PHP, MySQL). How much would it cost? What if I deploy 10 of them?

Pricing is based on total app services. One site with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL is 3 services and falls under the $48/month minimum tier. Ten such sites total 30 services and cost $60/month. Extra CI/CD minutes and registry storage are billed separately.

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.

Start with Wodby View OpenClaw stack

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.

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.

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.
