Create an OpenClaw Instance from the Neevcloud Marketplace

Create an OpenClaw Instance

OpenClaw is available as a ready-to-deploy image in the Neevcloud Marketplace. This image comes with OpenClaw preinstalled and the service enabled on the Instance. After deployment, you only need to connect to the instance and complete the OpenClaw onboarding process with your own configuration.

---

Select Image

Select the OpenClaw image from the Neevcloud Marketplace.

• Log in to the Neevcloud dashboard.

• Open the Marketplace section.

• Select the OpenClaw image and continue with instance creation.

---

Hardware Configuration

Choose the required instance flavor based on your expected workload.

Use a larger configuration if you plan to run heavier workflows or additional integrations on the same Instance.

---

Select the volumes

Choose the root volume size for the instance.

Recommended minimum:

• Root Disk: 20 GB

Increase the disk size if you expect additional logs, workspace data, or future package installations.

---

Network configuration

Configure the network settings for the instance.

• Select the required VPC or network.

• Assign a public IP if you want to access the VM directly over SSH from the internet.

• Make sure the selected network allows outbound internet access if OpenClaw needs to connect to external APIs or services.

---

Authentication

Select the authentication method for the instance.

SSH Key

This is the recommended option. Select an existing SSH key pair or create a new one and attach it to the instance.

Password

Use password-based login only if it is required in your environment.

---

Add Security Group

Attach a security group that allows the required access to the Instance.

Minimum recommended rule:

• SSH (TCP 22) from your trusted IP range

Do not expose unnecessary ports publicly unless specifically required.

If needed, create a new security group and add the required inbound rule before launching the instance.

---

Name

Enter the server name for the instance.

Choose a clear name so the instance can be identified easily later.

Example:

• openclaw-server-1

• openclaw-prod

• openclaw-test

---

Create Server

After completing the configuration:

• Verify networking

• Verify SSH key selection

• Verify security group

• Enter the server name

Then click Create Server to deploy the OpenClaw instance.

---

Note for Users

After the server is created and you log in, a setup note is already available on the VM.

Run:

cat /root/openclaw_setup_details.txt

This file contains the next required steps, including:

• checking OpenClaw service status

• running onboarding

• Restarting the service if needed

• viewing logs
