Overview
OpenClaw Ansible Installer (openclaw-ansible) is an open-source, security-first deployment playbook for running OpenClaw on Debian/Ubuntu servers. It automates a hardened setup using Docker-based isolation and includes infrastructure hardening steps such as firewall configuration. The playbook optionally supports Tailscale VPN for private access to the OpenClaw instance. OpenClaw’s official docs recommend this Ansible installer as the preferred way to deploy OpenClaw to production servers, and the repository notes that bare-metal macOS support was deprecated and removed as of 2026-02-06.
