# Deploy with Docker

> Self-host ClawHQ on any server with Docker Compose.

The recommended way to run ClawHQ. Works on any VPS, home server, or cloud VM with 2GB+ RAM.

## Quick start

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/ModologyStudiosLLC/clawhq-platform
cd clawhq-platform
./install.sh
```

The install script handles everything — fills in your `.env`, starts all services, and opens the dashboard.

## Manual setup

```bash theme={null}
cp .env.example .env
nano .env          # fill in your API keys and domain
docker compose up -d
```

## Requirements

* Docker 24+
* Docker Compose v2
* 2GB RAM minimum (4GB recommended)
* A public domain for HTTPS (optional for local dev)

## HTTPS

Set `CLAWHQ_DOMAIN` in your `.env` to your domain. Caddy handles TLS automatically via Let's Encrypt — no cert management needed.

## Update

```bash theme={null}
git pull
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```

## Logs

```bash theme={null}
docker compose logs -f dashboard
docker compose logs -f openclaw
docker compose logs -f hermes
```

## Useful commands

```bash theme={null}
docker compose ps          # check service status
docker compose restart     # restart all services
docker compose down        # stop everything
docker compose down -v     # stop and wipe volumes (destructive)
```
