# Deploy to Render

> Deploy ClawHQ on Render with a free tier option.

Render offers a free tier and simple Docker deployments. Good for testing and low-traffic production.

## Deploy

1. Fork [clawhq-platform](https://github.com/ModologyStudiosLLC/clawhq-platform) to your GitHub account
2. Go to [render.com](https://render.com) and create a new **Web Service**
3. Connect your GitHub repo
4. Set **Environment** to `Docker`
5. Add your environment variables under **Environment**
6. Click **Create Web Service**

## Notes

* Render's free tier spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity — use a paid plan for production
* Set `CLAWHQ_PUBLIC_URL` to your Render service URL (e.g. `https://clawhq.onrender.com`)
* Persistent disk is required for SQLite storage — add one under **Disks** in your service settings

## Environment variables

See [Environment Variables](/reference/environment-variables) for the full list.
