A 6/moDigitalOceanDroplet(1GBRAM)isenoughforpersonaluse.Usea6/mo DigitalOcean Droplet (1GB RAM) is enough for personal use. Use a 12/mo Droplet (2GB) for team use.

​
Create a Droplet

  1. Go to digitalocean.com and create a new Droplet
  2. Choose Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  3. Select Basic → Regular → $12/mo (2GB RAM recommended)
  4. Add your SSH key
  5. Click Create Droplet

​
Install ClawHQ

SSH into your Droplet and run: 
# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

# Clone and install ClawHQ
git clone https://github.com/ModologyStudiosLLC/clawhq-platform
cd clawhq-platform
./install.sh

​
Point your domain

In DigitalOcean’s DNS (or your registrar), add an A record pointing your domain to the Droplet’s IP address. Set CLAWHQ_DOMAIN in your .env to the domain — Caddy handles TLS automatically.

​
Keep it running after reboot

docker compose up -d   # already starts in detached mode
sudo systemctl enable docker   # ensure Docker starts on boot
