How Deployment Works
Under the hood, ClawHost automates a multi-step process to deploy your bot in an isolated Docker container. Here's exactly what happens when you click "Deploy".
7-PHASE DEPLOYMENT
Stripe processes your 30€/month subscription. Once confirmed, deployment begins automatically.
We create a database record for your bot with a unique ID, generate a gateway token, and assign a port.
Your bot's OpenClaw configuration is generated: AI provider settings, proxy endpoint, gateway token, and personality defaults.
The latest OpenClaw Docker image (alpine/openclaw:latest) is pulled from Docker Hub if not already cached.
An isolated Docker container is created with your configuration, network isolation, and resource limits (1GB RAM, dedicated port).
We monitor the container startup. The bot needs ~2 minutes to initialize, connect to Telegram, and become responsive.
Once healthy, 10€ in AI credits are added to your account. Your bot is now live and ready to chat.
WHAT YOUR BOT GETS
STATUS REFERENCE
COMMON ISSUES
Check your dashboard for status updates. If stuck, try stopping and restarting the bot.
Verify your bot token is correct. Make sure you haven't revoked it in BotFather.
The bot needs ~2 minutes to start. Wait for the health check to complete before testing.
Check the container logs in your dashboard. Common causes: invalid token, network issues.
