Open-source platform that deploys OpenClaw or Hermes Agent onto a dedicated Hetzner VPS in minutes
ClawHost is an open-source, self-hostable platform that provisions a dedicated VPS and installs an AI agent runtime on it, either OpenClaw or Hermes Agent. It handles DNS, SSL, firewall and agent installation automatically.
What ClawHost does
ClawHost provisions servers on Hetzner Cloud and installs the agent runtime you choose. Each runtime ships with its own gateway service, and the cloud-init script is generated per server so the bootstrap fits the selected runtime, subdomain, gateway token and tool defaults. DNS subdomains are created through Cloudflare, and HTTPS comes from Let's Encrypt.
The dashboard offers a browser terminal over SSH, diagnostics and logs, remote editing of configuration files, version browsing and upgrades for the installed agent, SSH key storage, extra volumes, and export of agent configurations for backup and migration. Sign-in uses email OTP, Google or GitHub, and billing runs through Polar.sh with referral codes. The code is a TypeScript monorepo with a Hono API on Bun, a React and Vite web app, a React Native mobile app and an Electron desktop app, with the interface in English, French, Spanish and German.

How it fits with Hermes Agent
ClawHost supports Hermes Agent as one of two deployable runtimes alongside OpenClaw, so it is a general agent hosting platform.
Requirements: Bun 1.3+; the stack uses Hetzner Cloud, Cloudflare, Firebase, Neon PostgreSQL and Polar.sh.
