The Problem: Self-Hosting Is Hard
OpenClaw is powerful — but running it yourself requires a server (VPS, Raspberry Pi, or always-on machine), Node.js 22+ installed and configured, API key management for OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini, port configuration, security hardening, and 24/7 uptime monitoring. For developers, manageable. For everyone else, it’s a real barrier.
