# Deploy and Host Railclaw on Railway

Railclaw is a turnkey deploy wrapper for OpenClaw — the open-source AI assistant platform. It automatically builds the latest stable OpenClaw release from source, provides a browser-based setup wizard, and gives you HTTPS out of the box. One click to deploy, paste your API keys, and you're chatting.

## About Hosting Railclaw

Railclaw runs as a single Railway service with a persistent volume at `/data`. On deploy, it fetches the latest stable OpenClaw release from GitHub, builds it from source inside a Docker container, and starts a wrapper server on port 8080. The wrapper proxies to the OpenClaw gateway, serves a password-protected setup wizard at `/setup`, and manages the gateway lifecycle automatically. Railway provides TLS termination — no tunnels, no Cloudflare, no DNS config required. After the build finishes (~3–5 minutes), visit `/setup` to paste your API keys and optionally connect Telegram or Discord.

## Common Use Cases

- Deploy a personal AI assistant accessible via web browser, Telegram, or Discord
- Set up OpenClaw for a non-technical friend with a single deploy script
- Self-host an AI assistant with your own API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) instead of paying for a managed service

## Dependencies for Railclaw Hosting

- An AI provider API key (OpenRouter recommended — gives access to GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and more through one key)
- A Railway account (Hobby plan, $5/mo)

### Deployment Dependencies

- OpenRouter API key: https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys
- Brave Search API key (optional, free tier): https://brave.com/search/api/
- Telegram bot token (optional): message @BotFather on Telegram
- Discord bot token (optional): https://discord.com/developers/applications
