# OpenClaw on Fly.io
## Overview
This guide enables deploying OpenClaw Gateway on Fly.io with persistent storage, automatic HTTPS, and multi-channel access (Discord, Telegram, etc.).
## Key Requirements
- flyctl CLI installation
- Fly.io account (free tier eligible)
- API credentials (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.)
- Channel tokens (Discord bot token, etc.)
## Core Setup Steps
### 1) App & Volume Creation
Clone the repository, create a Fly app, and establish a 1GB persistent volume in your preferred region (London, Virginia, or San Jose).
### 2) Configuration
The `fly.toml` file requires:
- `--bind lan` flag to expose the gateway to Fly's proxy
- `--allow-unconfigured` to launch without initial config
- Port 3000 binding for health checks
- Minimum 2GB RAM allocation (512MB insufficient)
### 3) Security Setup
Set secrets via command line for gateway tokens, API keys, and channel credentials. Prefer env vars over config file for all API keys and tokens.
### 4) Deployment & Config
Deploy using `fly deploy`, then SSH into the machine to create `/data/openclaw.json` with agent, authentication, and channel bindings.
## Access Methods
- **Control UI**: Browser at `https://my-openclaw.fly.dev/`
- **SSH Console**: `fly ssh console`
- **Logs**: `fly logs` for monitoring
## Private Deployment Option
Use `fly.private.toml` for hardened deployments without public IP exposure, ideal for outbound-only use cases or webhook delivery via ngrok/Tailscale tunnels.
## Troubleshooting Highlights
- **Binding issues**: Ensure `--bind lan` in process command
- **Memory errors**: Increase to 2GB minimum
- **Lock file problems**: Remove `/data/gateway.*.lock`
- **State persistence**: Verify `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/data` configuration
## Estimated Cost
$10-15 monthly with recommended specifications.
