[EN-C005-017] Docker/VPS Blue-Green Deployment for OpenClaw

Overview​

A deployment playbook for running OpenClaw on low-cost VPS with Docker Compose, persistent volumes, health checks, and blue-green style cutover. Focuses on fast rollback and minimal downtime for always-on assistants.

Use Case​

  • Operate multiple assistants on one VPS with predictable uptime.
  • Upgrade OpenClaw versions safely with canary validation before traffic switch.
  • Keep memory/config durable across container replacement.

Tools Used​

  • exec: docker compose orchestration, smoke tests, rollback automation
  • cron: scheduled backup/health checks and upgrade windows
  • message: deployment status updates to Discord/Slack
  • gateway: controlled restart/config patching after verified cutover

Trend Signals (2026 Q1)​

  • Community self-hosting threads highlight sub-$1 to low-cost VPS experimentation for personal AI assistants.
  • OpenClaw Docker docs and helper scripts (clawdock) lower ops overhead for containerized setups.
  • GitHub issues show recurring Docker-on-VPS edge cases, driving stronger deployment runbooks.
