The Easiest Way to Deploy Openclaw: One-Click Setup on Zeabur (No Coding Required)

Struggling with Linux commands or VPS setup? We show you the "Cheat Code" to deploying Openclaw. Use our exclusive Zeabur template to get your AI agent running in the cloud instantly.

The “Lazy” Guide: Deploy Openclaw on Zeabur in 3 Minutes (No VPS Required)

Let’s be honest: Not everyone wants to buy a VPS, SSH into a Linux terminal, and debug docker-compose errors just to run an AI agent.

If you are looking for Openclaw (formerly Moltbot/Clawdbot) but want to skip the technical headache, Zeabur is your best friend.

It is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) that allows you to deploy Docker apps with one single click. We have prepared a pre-configured template for you.


🌟 Why Zeabur?

  • Zero Coding: No terminal, no SSH, no Linux knowledge needed.
  • Automatic HTTPS: You get a free domain (e.g., your-bot.zeabur.app) with SSL automatically configured.
  • Pay-As-You-Go: Unlike a VPS where you pay $5/mo even if you don’t use it, Zeabur charges based on usage (and has a free trial tier).
  • 24/7 Online: Your AI agent stays online even when your computer is off.

🚀 Step-by-Step Deployment Guide

Follow these 3 simple steps to get your Openclaw agent running immediately.

We have created a verified template that contains all the necessary Docker configurations for Openclaw. You don’t need to write any code.

Step 2: Sign Up and Configure

  1. After clicking the link, you will see the Openclaw template card. Click “Deploy”.
  2. Sign up for a Zeabur account (GitHub or Email) if you haven’t already.
  3. Crucial Step: You will be asked to input “Variables”.
    • Find the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY field.
    • Paste your key starting with sk-ant-... (Get it from Anthropic Console).
    • (Optional) You can leave other settings as default.

Step 3: Wait for Deployment

Click “Deploy” again. Zeabur will automatically:

  • Pull the official Openclaw code.
  • Set up the secure environment.
  • Start the server.

This process usually takes about 60 seconds.

Step 4: Access Your Bot

Once the status turns Green (Running):

  1. Go to the “Networking” or “Domains” tab in your Zeabur dashboard.
  2. Click “Generate Domain” (or use the one provided).
  3. Click that URL (e.g., https://openclaw-xxx.zeabur.app).

Boom! 💥 You will see the Openclaw login/dashboard screen. You are ready to go.


💡 Configuration Tips for Zeabur Users

How to update to the latest version?

Since Openclaw updates frequently, you might want the new features. On Zeabur, simply go to your service dashboard and click “Redeploy”. It will pull the latest image automatically.

Is it free?

Zeabur offers a generous trial credit ($5 free credit per month for new users). Since Openclaw is lightweight, this credit usually covers basic usage. If you run it heavily 24/7, the cost is comparable to a cheap VPS, but with zero maintenance.


🏆 Conclusion

If you found our Docker or VPS tutorials too complicated, Zeabur is the solution.

It bridges the gap between “I want this AI” and “I don’t want to become a Linux sysadmin.”
