Open source setup to self-host OpenClaw instances on any host

What it does

Self-host OpenClaw on your own machine and give each of your friends their own private instance with a unique URL. Got a spare PC, a cheap VPS, or a beefy server sitting around? This turns it into a mini hosting platform. Get OpenClaw Managed Hosting — $3.99/mo, cancel anytime. 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, SSL included. No config, no waiting. Spin one up in seconds and skip everything below. This runs on your laptop using localtest.me (a wildcard domain that points to 127.0.0.1 ) with a self-signed HTTPS certificate. git clone https://github.com/agent37-platform/openclaw-host-kit cd openclaw-host-kit ./scripts/local-up.sh 2 That's it. You'll get 2 instances with URLs like:…from github.com

  Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users. So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier. With ClawSimple you can: - Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes; - Focus on using the assistant instead of wrestling with deployment details. For people who don’t want to pay for a managed service, I…

  I built managed OpenClaw hosting with 60s provisioning in 6 daysFeb 2026 · clawhosters.com · ▲9

  Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

  I've been using OpenClaw/Moltbot a lot these past few days. I even set up some of these instances for friends so they, too can enjoy the possibilities of this project. So I thought it would be good to have a way to deploy it for non-tech people, bringing your own key and avoiding expensive markups in their prices. I plan to provide easy plans to setup without needing accounts in OpenAI/Anthropic/Google but for now, people can BOYK and set it up for a reasonable price and control their instance entirely.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
