OpenClaw Cloud BYOS FAQ
What is BYOS (Bring Your Own Server)?
BYOS lets you connect your existing server infrastructure to OpenClaw Cloud. You provide the server from any cloud provider or on-premise, and we handle deploying and managing your AI assistant for you. You retain full root access while we handle updates, monitoring, and maintenance.
Which cloud providers does BYOS support?
BYOS works with any SSH-accessible server. We have optimized support for DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, AWS EC2, and Linode. You can also connect any custom server, VPS, or on-premise hardware.
Can I run local AI models with BYOS?
Yes! With BYOS and GPU-capable hardware, you can run local AI models like Llama via Ollama or llama.cpp. This provides fully private AI that never sends data to external APIs.
How much does BYOS cost?
BYOS is available on all OpenClaw Cloud plans starting at $29/month. You pay your cloud provider separately for the server costs. This can be more cost-effective at scale.
Do I need technical knowledge for BYOS?
Basic server knowledge helps, but we handle the complex parts. You just need to provide SSH access to your server. We deploy everything, configure it, and manage ongoing updates. You retain root access for any custom configurations.
What are the server requirements for BYOS?
Minimum: 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 20GB storage, Ubuntu 22.04+. For local AI models, you'll need GPU hardware (NVIDIA recommended) and more RAM. We provide detailed requirements for each use case.
