I'll deploy OpenClaw: the fastest-growing open-source AI agent platform (200K+ GitHub stars) — on your own server. Your personal JARVIS: it answers in Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack — runs tasks, searches the web, manages files, sends emails. All self-hosted — your data never leaves your server.

What you get

A fully functional AI agent running 24/7 on your server
Connection to Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, DeepSeek, or local models (Ollama)
Messenger integration: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal & more
Skills system — 13,700+ ready-made modules from ClawHub
Proactive behavior (Heartbeat) — your agent checks email, sends reminders, monitors tasks on its own
Hardened instance: SSL, firewall, closed ports — unlike those 30,000 exposed ones
Full data ownership — your conversations, documents, and business data stay on your hardware

What's included

A complete, production-ready OpenClaw setup:
OpenClaw installed via Docker on your VPS
Gateway running as a systemd service with auto-restart
Nginx/Caddy reverse proxy + free SSL (Let's Encrypt)
Firewall (UFW): port 18789 blocked externally
1 messenger connected (Telegram or Discord)
1 AI provider configured (Claude, GPT, or Gemini) with spending limits
Basic SOUL.md setup (agent personality)
5–10 useful Skills from ClawHub
Setup guide included
You get a working, secured AI agent — ready to chat with you in your messenger of choice on day one.

Optional add-ons (priced per request)

FAQs
- A VPS with Ubuntu/Debian (minimum 2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores). No server yet? I'll help you choose one (from ~$5/mo) - SSH access (root or sudo) - Domain pointed to your server IP (optional, for SSL) - API key for your chosen AI provider (Claude, GPT, or Gemini) - Telegram bot token or Discord bot credentials For add-ons I may need additional access — we'll discuss specifics after you reach out.
Most DIY installs fail. Here's what I see every week: - 80% of self-installs break — Node.js 22+ conflicts, Docker networking issues, npm permission errors - 30,000+ OpenClaw instances online are completely exposed — API keys visible to anyone with a browser - Messenger integrations (especially WhatsApp) — dozens of unresolved issues in the repo; without workarounds, they simply don't connect - Without proper rate limits, your agent can burn $200+ in a single day on runaway API calls I handle all of this so you don't have to.
Managed OpenClaw hosting costs **$24–79/month** ($288–948/year). My service is a **one-time payment** — you own everything: data, settings, skills.
