# Deploy and Host openclaw on Railway

OpenClaw is an open-source AI coding agent gateway that connects LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 20+ others) to messaging channels like Telegram, Discord, and Slack. It acts as a self-hosted bridge between AI models and your team's chat platforms, with a built-in web UI for configuration and device management.

## About Hosting openclaw

Hosting OpenClaw involves building the gateway from source and running it behind an Express reverse proxy that handles setup, authentication, and WebSocket forwarding. This template packages everything into a single Docker container: the OpenClaw gateway process, a React-based setup wizard at `/setup`, and a control UI at `/openclaw`. A Railway Volume mounted at `/data` persists configuration and credentials across redeploys. The setup wizard walks you through provider selection (API key or OAuth), channel configuration, and gateway startup. Once configured, the wrapper auto-restarts the gateway on crashes with exponential backoff and exposes a `/healthz` endpoint for Railway's health checks.

## Common Use Cases

- Self-host an AI coding assistant accessible via Telegram, Discord, or Slack without managing infrastructure
- Run a multi-provider LLM gateway that lets your team switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and other providers from a single endpoint
- Deploy a persistent AI agent with device approval, config editing, and backup/restore through a web-based admin panel

## Dependencies for openclaw Hosting

- Node.js 22+ (runtime)
- Railway Volume mounted at `/data` for persistent state
- At least one LLM provider credential (API key or OAuth token)

## Why Deploy openclaw on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying openclaw on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
