Deploy OpenClaw on Railway with a one-click template and finish setup in your browser.
|
|
This is the easiest “no terminal on the server” path: Railway runs the Gateway for you,
|
|
and you configure everything via the `/setup` web wizard.
|
|
|
|
## Quick checklist (new users)
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Deploy on Railway** (below).
|
|
2. Add a **Volume** mounted at `/data`.
|
|
3. Set the required **Variables** (at least `SETUP_PASSWORD`).
|
|
4. Enable **HTTP Proxy** on port `8080`.
|
|
5. Open `https://<your-railway-domain>/setup` and finish the wizard.
|
|
|
|
## One-click deploy

Deploy on Railway
|
|
</a>
|
|
|
|
After deploy, find your public URL in **Railway → your service → Settings → Domains**.
|
|
|
|
Railway will either:
|
|
|
|
- give you a generated domain (often `https://<something>.up.railway.app`), or
|
|
- use your custom domain if you attached one.
|
|
|
|
Then open:
|
|
|
|
- `https://<your-railway-domain>/setup` — web setup (password protected)
|
|
- `https://<your-railway-domain>/openclaw` — Control UI
|
|
|
|
## What you get
|
|
|
|
- Hosted OpenClaw Gateway + Control UI
|
|
- Web setup at `/setup` (no terminal commands)
|
|
- Persistent storage via Railway Volume (`/data`) so config/credentials/workspace survive redeploys
|
|
- Backup export at `/setup/export` to migrate off Railway later
|
|
|
|
## Required Railway settings
|
|
|
|
### Public Networking
|
|
|
|
Enable **HTTP Proxy** for the service.
|
|
|
|
- Port: `8080`
|
|
|
|
### Volume (required)
|
|
|
|
Attach a volume mounted at:
|
|
|
|
- `/data`
|
|
|
|
### Variables
|
|
|
|
Set these variables on the service:
|
|
|
|
- `SETUP_PASSWORD` (required)
|
|
- `PORT=8080` (required — must match the port in Public Networking)
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/data/.openclaw` (recommended)
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR=/data/workspace` (recommended)
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` (recommended; treat as an admin secret)
|
|
|
|
## Setup flow
|
|
|
|
1. Visit `https://<your-railway-domain>/setup` and enter your `SETUP_PASSWORD`.
|
|
2. Choose a model/auth provider and paste your key.
|
|
3. (Optional) Add Telegram/Discord/Slack tokens.
|
|
4. Click **Run setup**.
|
|
|
|
If Telegram DMs are set to pairing, web setup can approve the pairing code.
|
|
|
|
## Connect a channel
|
|
|
|
Paste your Telegram or Discord token into the `/setup` wizard. For setup
|
|
instructions, see the channel docs:
|
|
|
|
- [Telegram](/channels/telegram) (fastest — just a bot token)
|
|
- [Discord](/channels/discord)
|
|
- [All channels](/channels)
|
|
|
|
## Backups & migration
|
|
|
|
Download a backup at:
|
|
|
|
- `https://<your-railway-domain>/setup/export`
|
|
|
|
This exports your OpenClaw state + workspace so you can migrate to another host without losing config or memory.
|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
- Set up messaging channels: [Channels](/channels)
|
|
- Configure the Gateway: [Gateway configuration](/gateway/configuration)
|
|
- Keep OpenClaw up to date: [Updating](/install/updating)
