  • Date: 2026-02-15
  • Language: EN
  • Category: Infrastructure / Docker-VPS
  • Status: New

Overview​

Operate multiple VPS environments with a Compose template catalog, health gates, and automatic rollback for failed releases.

Why now (GitHub / Reddit trend)​

  • Self-hosted control planes (Coolify / Dokploy style workflows) are gaining traction.
  • Teams want lower-cost VPS fleets with safer rollouts than ad-hoc SSH scripts.

OpenClaw Implementation Steps​

1) Config enablement​

  • Enable exec, cron, sessions_spawn, gateway, and message.
  • Prepare environment profiles: dev, staging, prod.

2) API setup​

  • Connect VPS provider API for instance lifecycle.
  • Connect container registry API for image tags and signatures.
  • Connect monitoring API (uptime, CPU, error-rate).

3) Operations setup​

  • Generate per-service Compose from templates in Vault.
  • Deploy with canary mode (10% traffic), then promote on health pass.
  • Trigger automatic rollback on SLO breach.
  • Publish deployment summary and rollback reason to ops channel.
