What does the skill file contain?
## Overview Use this skill for the conservative "deploy first, expose later" pattern for OpenClaw on a cloud server. Default to a private control plane: - Harden the Linux host before exposing anything. - Keep the gateway bound to `127.0.0.1`. - Reach the Control UI through an SSH tunnel first. - Keep token authentication, pairing, and sandboxing enabled. - Start with a narrow tool profile and loosen only with an explicit need. This skill is for secure Linux cloud hosting. If the user only wants the fastest generic OpenClaw install on a local machine, prefer the official OpenClaw onboardin...
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended access method for a new OpenClaw deployment?
The skill recommends using an SSH tunnel as the default access method for personal use and initial deployments.
Does this skill support non-Linux hosting?
No. The skill focuses on Linux-first patterns and does not support non-Linux hosting unless the user specifically requests adaptation of the Linux-first model.
What are the red flags for an OpenClaw deployment?
Red flags include binding the gateway to 0.0.0.0, exposing port 18789 to the public internet, enabling broad tool access by default, or leaving configuration files readable by other local users.
