GitOps transforms how you deploy and manage OpenClaw infrastructure. This guide covers using Git as your single source of truth with ArgoCD or Flux, enabling automated deployments, easy rollbacks, and a complete audit trail of infrastructure changes. Perfect for teams that want declarative, version-controlled deployments with minimal manual intervention.
Why This Is Hard to Do Yourself
These are the common pitfalls that trip people up.
GitOps tooling complexity
ArgoCD and Flux have steep learning curves with multiple configuration layers
Synchronization drift
Keeping Git state in sync with actual cluster state can be tricky
Secret management
Storing sensitive data in Git repositories securely is non-trivial
Rollback procedures
Understanding how to safely revert deployments in GitOps workflows
Step-by-Step Guide
Set up a Git repository for OpenClaw
Create a dedicated repository for GitOps manifests.
Install ArgoCD or Flux on your cluster
Deploy the GitOps controller to your Kubernetes cluster.
Create OpenClaw Kustomize/Helm manifests
Define OpenClaw deployment as declarative manifests.
Create ArgoCD Application or Flux HelmRelease
Define how GitOps syncs your deployments.
Warning: Use automated sync with pruning carefully in production. Test rollback procedures first.
Manage secrets securely
Store encrypted secrets in Git while keeping them secure.
Set up automatic sync and monitoring
Enable automatic deployments and monitor drift.
Implement rollback procedures
Practice safe rollbacks in case of issues.
