How to Deploy OpenClaw on Klyro in 5 Minutes

OpenClaw is the fastest-growing open-source AI agent with over 145,000 GitHub stars. It connects LLMs like Claude, GPT-4o, and DeepSeek to real-world actions through messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.

The problem? Running it on your laptop means it goes offline when you sleep. Self-hosting on a VPS means dealing with Docker, networking, SSL certificates, and security patches.

Klyro solves this. Deploy OpenClaw to an isolated Firecracker microVM in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

A Klyro account (sign up free)
An AI API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google)
A messaging bot token (Telegram, Discord, or Slack — optional)

Step 1: Create Your Deployment

Log in to your Klyro dashboard
Click Deploy and select OpenClaw
Enter a name for your agent (e.g., “My AI Assistant”)
Choose a subdomain — this becomes your-name.useklyro.com

Step 2: Choose Resources

Select a resource tier based on your needs:

Tier	vCPU	RAM	Storage	Price
Starter	2	2 GB	20 GB	$49/mo
Pro	2	4 GB	50 GB	$99/mo
Business	4	8 GB	100 GB	$200/mo

OpenClaw requires at least 2 vCPU and 2 GB RAM. The Starter tier works great for personal use.

Step 3: Add Your API Key

Paste your AI provider API key. Klyro supports:

Anthropic (Claude) — sk-ant-...
OpenAI (GPT-4o) — sk-...
Google (Gemini) — AIza...

Your API key is encrypted and injected directly into your microVM. Klyro never stores or accesses it.

Step 4: Connect Messaging (Optional)

Expand the Messaging Channels section to connect:

Telegram: Paste your Bot Token from @BotFather
Discord: Paste your Bot Token from the Discord Developer Portal
Slack: Paste your Bot Token and App Token

Step 5: Deploy

Click Deploy. Klyro will:

Provision an isolated Firecracker microVM
Install OpenClaw with Node.js 22
Configure your API keys and messaging tokens
Set up automatic SSL
Start your agent

This takes about 60 seconds. Once done, your agent is live and accessible at your-name.useklyro.com.

What You Get

24/7 uptime — your agent runs even when your laptop sleeps
Isolated microVM — your data never touches other users
SSH access — full terminal when you need to debug or customize
Persistent storage — memory, files, and config survive restarts
Auto SSL — HTTPS out of the box via Let’s Encrypt

Managing Your Agent

From the site detail page you can:

Start, stop, and restart the agent
Add multiple AI agent sessions
Use the Ops Center kanban board to assign tasks
View activity logs
Edit the agent directive to customize behavior
Create and restore backups
