One‑Click Deploy OpenClaw: A Step‑by‑Step Guide for Developers
## Prerequisites
– Docker & Docker‑Compose installed
– Git access to the OpenClaw repository
– Basic knowledge of environment variables
## Clone the Repository
bash
git clone https://github.com/UBOS-OpenClaw/openclaw-demo.git
cd openclaw-demo
## Configure Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file (or edit the provided example) with your API keys, database credentials, and any AI‑agent service tokens you wish to integrate. This guide ties the deployment to the current AI‑agent hype, showing how you can plug in LLM‑powered assistants for monitoring and automation.
## Run the Stack
bash
docker-compose up -d
The stack will pull all required images and start the services automatically.
## Verify the Demo
Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser. You should see the OpenClaw UI. Use the built‑in health‑check endpoint `http://localhost:3000/health` to confirm all services are healthy.
