How do I automate OpenClaw deployment on Ubuntu 24.04?

To automate OpenClaw deployment on Ubuntu 24.04, use this skill to install the OpenClaw gateway, Claude Code, and a headless Chrome browser stack. It configures systemd user services, Telegram bot integration, and secure environment variables for a production-ready host.

What is needed to configure a headless Chrome browser stack with systemd on Ubuntu?

Configuring a headless Chrome stack with systemd on Ubuntu requires a hardened environment with beads tracking and root access. Dependencies include Xvfb, TigerVNC, noVNC, websockify, and google-chrome-stable to enable and manage headless browsing operations.

Can I use this deployment automation to manage secrets and systemd user services?

Yes, this deployment automation manages secrets securely via environment variables and configures systemd user services. It enforces loopback-only gateway binding to ensure the OpenClaw platform and its associated services remain secure on the Ubuntu host.

Does OpenClaw installation require root-level access on a hardened Ubuntu server?

Yes, OpenClaw installation requires root-level access on a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 server. This ensures all installation steps, including systemd service configuration and automated dotfile management via stow, are properly validated and recorded by beads tracking.

Why does my OpenClaw installation need Xvfb and noVNC during setup?

OpenClaw installation needs Xvfb and noVNC to support the headless browser stack. Xvfb creates a virtual framebuffer for Chrome, while noVNC and websockify provide browser-based access to the graphical environment required for automated browsing operations.
