OpenClaw AI Platform – DevOps Setup & Stabilization (Docker / Ubuntu / Telegram) Project Overview I have installed the OpenClaw AI agent platform on a VPS and partially configured it with a Telegram bot. The system is running, but it requires professional configuration to stabilize the gateway, networking, and agent setup. I am looking for an experienced DevOps / AI infrastructure engineer who can review the existing setup and complete the configuration so the system runs reliably. For an experienced engineer, the work should take approximately 2–4 hours. Current Environment VPS Provider: Hostinger Operating System: Ubuntu Containerization: Docker Installed Components OpenClaw installed and running Telegram bot already created and connected Control UI accessible but requires gateway/network adjustments AI models configured through Nexos / OpenAI Current Issues The platform is installed but requires proper configuration and stabilization. 1. Gateway Configuration Configure and stabilize the gateway Port 18789 configuration and accessibility Proper bind configuration (local vs public access) Device pairing / authentication cleanup 2. Networking Ensure the Control Dashboard is reachable from the local machine Optional: secure remote access reverse proxy (e.g. Nginx or Caddy) or SSH tunnel Firewall and port configuration 3. Agent Configuration Ensure the main agent is configured correctly Fix model routing (avoid default fallback to Nexos) Validate workspace configuration 4. Telegram Integration Ensure Telegram bot messages consistently reach the agent Validate channel configuration Verify polling / webhook setup with Telegram 5. Configuration Cleanup Review configuration files including: /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json Tasks: Remove insecure development flags if necessary Ensure gateway runs reliably Clean and organize configuration Optional Improvements (Nice to Have) If quick to implement: Persistent gateway service (systemd or Docker supervisor) Reverse proxy setup Basic security review Short documentation of the setup Deliverables At the end of the project, I expect: Fully working OpenClaw gateway Stable Telegram bot integration Dashboard accessible reliably Clean and documented configuration Short explanation of the architecture Requirements Looking for someone with experience in: Linux server administration Docker environments Networking / reverse proxies Telegram bot integrations AI agent frameworks Experience with OpenClaw is a strong advantage. Access Provided The engineer will receive: SSH access to the VPS Current configuration files Telegram bot credentials (if needed) Communication I am not a developer, so clear communication and simple explanations are appreciated. The goal is to finish and stabilize the current setup, not to build a new system from scratch.
