Is my data secure and encrypted?

All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. Your encryption keys are stored exclusively on your dedicated VPS.

Are my conversations truly private?

Yes. Each user gets a fully isolated container environment. We follow a zero-knowledge architecture.

Do you train AI models on my data?

Never. Your conversations and data are never used to train AI models.

Optionally, use EasyClawd for a no-server-management hosting experience.

Illustration of OpenClaw architecture and deployment process

Introduction

OpenClaw, also known as Clawdbot or Moltbot, is an open-source autonomous AI agent framework. It enables developers to create and deploy AI-powered bots.

Feature	Ubuntu Deployment	EasyClawd Deployment	Notes
Infrastructure Management	✅	❌	User manages infrastructure on Ubuntu
Scalability	✅	✅	Manual scaling on Ubuntu, automated on EasyClawd
Server Provisioning	✅	❌	User provisions servers on Ubuntu
Security Updates	✅	❌	User responsible for updates on Ubuntu

Prerequisites

Before starting the deployment, ensure you have the following:

Ubuntu Server OS version 22.04 or higher.
Root SSH access for installation and configuration.
A Telegram Bot Token obtained from @BotFather on Telegram.

Setup

To set up OpenClaw on Ubuntu, follow these steps:

# Connect to your Ubuntu Server

⚠️ Warning: Ensure your server’s security by keeping software up-to-date and using strong, unique credentials.

Post-Deployment

Once your OpenClaw bot is running, interact with it through Telegram and customize its behavior.

Open Telegram and message your OpenClaw bot.
Start with /help to see available Clawdbot commands.
Customize your bot’s functionality as required.

Managed Hosting Alternative

If server management is not your forte, consider using EasyClawd for a hassle-free deployment experience.
