    Deploying & Securing OpenClaw on Hetzner

A Complete Production Guide — Secure From Step One


Guide version: 2.0 — February 7, 2026
Last reviewed: 2026-02-07 | Lines: ~1125 | Grade: Multi-model audited (Opus 4.6, Codex 5.3, Grok 3)

Based on Brad Barbin's original Hetzner deployment gist. Security hardening from a real production audit by The Dude 🎳.

Platform: Written for Hetzner VPS (Ubuntu 24.04/22.04 or Debian 12), but the security principles and Docker-based deployment apply to any Linux host. macOS-specific notes are called out where relevant.
