Daemon

Daemon setup without crash loops.

The OpenClaw daemon runs 24/7 — and if it ever hangs, the whole system hangs. We install it so it self-recovers and stays observable.

The problem

Why this matters right now.

Default installs via `npm i -g openclaw` and `openclaw onboard --install-daemon` often hit Node version conflicts, missing permissions, broken launchd plists or unclear log files. When the daemon crashes, nobody knows why.

Our approach

Here's how we do it.

We set up Node 24 cleanly, write a verified launchd/systemd unit, route logs structurally, hook in health probes, document the restart path and ship an emergency off-switch.

What's included

The full package.

ND

Node stack

nvm/asdf, Node 24 or 22.16+, lockfile pinned, update strategy for calver releases.

LD

launchd / systemd

Unit file with correct user, working directory, restart policy, log stream and resource limits.

LG

Logging

stdout/stderr to structured log files with rotation. No secrets in logs.

HP

Health probes

Local endpoint, status query, daemon restart on failure, optional Tailscale exposure for remote checks.

BK

Backup

openclaw.json, skills and pairing state backed up daily (local/tarball, optional S3).

OF

Off-switch

One command stops daemon and all channels cleanly, blocks restart — ideal for incident response.

How it works

From first call to a productive OpenClaw workflow.

  1. 01

    Analyse

    30-min check + process map. We pinpoint the 3 workflows where OpenClaw saves time fastest, and which channels are mandatory.

  2. 02

    Setup

    Daemon, channels, skills, MCP, allowlists, requireMention, Tailscale and the live dashboard configured cleanly and live.

  3. 03

    Training

    Your team works on real tasks: WhatsApp inbox triage, weekly Slack-DM reports, voice-memo-to-CRM, skill maintenance.

  4. 04

    Operations

    calver updates, skill extensions, channel care, security reviews, backups and an emergency off-switch — so OpenClaw doesn't fade out.

Packages

Three entry points. One outcome: OpenClaw that works.

Frequent questions

Still open questions?

Write us at hello@openclaw-os.com or book a call directly. We'll take the time.

Isn't the suggested `openclaw onboard` enough?
For solo setup: yes. For teams, shared hosts and server deployments it's missing logging, health probes, clear permissions and a restart path.
Does this work on a server too?
Yes. We can run the daemon on a dedicated mini server (Mac mini, Linux VM or Hetzner) and expose it via Tailscale to the team.
How fast are you back online after a crash?
systemd/launchd restarts the daemon within seconds. On repeated crashes within 60 s the off-switch trips — we see it and step in.
What does a complete OpenClaw setup cost?
Starter starts at €1,850, Business at €5,900 and Enterprise from €14,900. Ongoing maintenance starts at €180/month. LLM costs (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models) run separately.
Is OpenClaw only useful for engineers?
No. That's the whole point of openclaw-os.com: OpenClaw becomes a work assistant for inbox, offers, reports, meetings, research, knowledge and routines — over the channels your team already uses (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, iMessage, voice).
Which channels make sense?
We usually start with the channel your team already lives in: WhatsApp and Telegram for external comms, Slack/Teams internally, iMessage on macOS, Discord for communities. The multi-channel strategy follows reality, not technology.
