Deploy OpenClaw on DigitalOcean

# Recommended Droplet sizes:
# - Basic (2GB RAM, 1 vCPU): $12/month - Light usage
# - Basic (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU): $24/month - Moderate usage (recommended)
# - General Purpose (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU): $48/month - Production

# In DigitalOcean Console:
# 1. Create → Droplets
# 2. Image: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
# 3. Droplet Type: Basic (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
# 4. Datacenter: Choose closest to your users
# 5. VPC: Create new VPC or use existing
# 6. Authentication: SSH keys (upload your public key)
# 7. Hostname: openclaw-production

# In DigitalOcean Console:
# Networking → Firewalls → Create Firewall
# Name: openclaw-firewall

# Inbound Rules:
# - SSH (22) from YOUR_IP_ADDRESS
# - HTTP (80) from All IPv4, All IPv6 (if using reverse proxy)
# - HTTPS (443) from All IPv4, All IPv6 (if using reverse proxy)

# Outbound Rules:
# - All TCP/UDP to All IPv4, All IPv6 (for API calls)

# Apply to Droplets: openclaw-production

# SSH into Droplet:
ssh root@<droplet-ip>

# Update system:
apt update && apt upgrade -y

# Install Docker:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

# Install Docker Compose:
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# In DigitalOcean Console:
# Manage → Volumes → Create Volume
# - Size: 50GB (adjust as needed)
# - Datacenter: SAME as your Droplet
# - Attach to Droplet: openclaw-production

# Format and mount volume:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_openclaw-data
mkdir /mnt/openclaw-data
mount -o discard,defaults /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_openclaw-data /mnt/openclaw-data

# Add to /etc/fstab:
echo "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_openclaw-data /mnt/openclaw-data ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

# Create project directory:
mkdir /root/openclaw
cd /root/openclaw

# Create docker-compose.yml:
cat > docker-compose.yml <<EOF
services:
  openclaw:
    image: openclaw/openclaw:latest
    ports:

# Start OpenClaw:
docker-compose up -d

# In DigitalOcean Console:
# Droplets → openclaw-production → Backups
# - Enable Backups ($1.20/month for 4GB Droplet)
# - Weekly backups retained for 4 weeks
