Deploy 龙虾AI on Northflank with a one-click template and finish setup in your browser. This is the easiest “no terminal on the server” path: Northflank runs the Gateway for you, and you configure everything via the /setup web wizard.

​
How to get started

  1. Click Deploy 龙虾AI to open the template.
  2. Create an account on Northflank if you don’t already have one.
  3. Click Deploy 龙虾AI now.
  4. Set the required environment variable: SETUP_PASSWORD.
  5. Click Deploy stack to build and run the 龙虾AI template.
  6. Wait for the deployment to complete, then click View resources.
  7. Open the 龙虾AI service.
  8. Open the public 龙虾AI URL and complete setup at /setup.
  9. Open the Control UI at /openclaw.

​
What you get

  • Hosted 龙虾AI Gateway + Control UI
  • Web setup at /setup (no terminal commands)
  • Persistent storage via Northflank Volume (/data) so config/credentials/workspace survive redeploys

​
