What it solves

ClawHost simplifies the deployment and management of AI agent runtimes, specifically OpenClaw and Hermes. It removes the technical friction of manually setting up a VPS, configuring DNS, managing SSL certificates, and installing the agent software, allowing users to launch a dedicated, private AI agent environment in under a minute.

How it works

ClawHost acts as an orchestration layer between the user and cloud infrastructure. It uses the Hetzner Cloud API to provision dedicated VPS instances and the Cloudflare API to automate subdomain and DNS management. For each server, it generates a custom cloud-init script to bootstrap the specific agent runtime (OpenClaw or Hermes). The platform provides a centralized dashboard with a browser-based SSH terminal (via WebSockets), file management, and version control to manage these instances remotely.

Who it’s for

It is designed for users who want to run their own AI agents on dedicated hardware for full privacy and resource control, but prefer a "one-click" cloud experience over manual server administration.

Highlights

• One-Click Deployment: Rapidly provisions a dedicated VPS with the chosen AI agent runtime.
• Automated Infrastructure: Handles SSL (via Let's Encrypt) and DNS (via Cloudflare) automatically.
• Integrated Management: Includes a browser-based terminal, remote file editing, and health diagnostics.
• Multi-Runtime Support: Supports deploying either OpenClaw or Hermes agents.
• Cross-Platform Access: Available via web, mobile (iOS/Android), and desktop (Electron) applications.
