Contabo has expanded its 1-Click Marketplace by introducing OpenClaw, an open-source AI automation agent now available as a free 1-Click deployment option across all Contabo VPS and VDS plans.
Designed to run directly on a server environment, OpenClaw enables users to build and manage AI-driven automation workflows without complex setup. The agent can connect to external AI providers such as OpenAI, or run with local models through Ollama, giving developers flexibility depending on their performance, privacy, and cost requirements.
AI Automation Use Cases with OpenClaw
Once deployed, OpenClaw can be used to automate a wide range of tasks, including:
- Code reviews and documentation generation
- Customer support and ticket workflows
- AI-powered dataset processing and analysis
- Continuous task automation and background jobs
- Messaging integrations (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp)
- And more AI-driven workflows for developers and teams
Deployment Details
OpenClaw is available through the Contabo Cloud Marketplace with:
- Compatibility across all VPS and VDS plans
- Free 1-Click installation
- SSH-based interactive onboarding
- Continuous background execution for ongoing automation
Security and Billing Notes
Contabo notes that while OpenClaw deployment is free, any AI API usage is billed separately by external providers. Users are also encouraged to follow standard security best practices, including:
- Strong SSH authentication
- Secure API key storage and management
- Using SSH tunneling, as the OpenClaw control UI runs on localhost
OpenClaw is available immediately through the Contabo Cloud Marketplace.
