Infrastructure and Server Deployment Engineer
About this Gig
I will deploy a fully configured, security-hardened OpenClaw AI assistant on your VPS.
OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI assistant that connects to Telegram or Discord. It runs on your server using your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. Your conversations never leave your infrastructure no per-seat fees, no conversation limits.
What's included:
- SSH hardening (key-only auth, non-standard port, root login disabled)
- Docker containerization
- Nginx reverse proxy
- Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
- UFW firewall configured
- One messaging channel connected (Telegram or Discord)
- Daily automated backups of your AI config and data with 7-day retention and verification
- Full handoff documentation
What you need before I begin:
- A fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, or similar)
- A domain or subdomain pointed to your VPS IP
- My SSH public key added to your server
- Your AI provider API key (Anthropic or OpenAI)
- Your bot token (I'll help you create one)
I never need your root password. You add my key, I deploy, and access is removed after handoff.
Optional add-on: Monthly managed care covers updates, monitoring, and priority support.
Your AI. Your server. Your data. Deployed right.

FAQ
What VPS do I need?
Any VPS running Ubuntu 24.04 with at least 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM. I recommend Hetzner CX23 ($5/month). If you need help choosing, message me before ordering.
Do I need my own AI API key?
Yes. You'll need an API key from Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI. This means you pay the AI provider directly at their usage rates — no markup from me.
Which messaging apps are supported?
Telegram and Discord. The standard deployment includes one channel. Message me for multi-channel pricing.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. I can walk you through everything — VPS setup, domain configuration, creating a bot token, and adding my SSH key.
Can I add more channels later?
Yes. Additional channels can be added after the initial deployment. Message me to discuss.
What if something breaks later?
I offer optional monthly managed care that covers security updates, container maintenance, and priority support. Ask me for details after delivery.
