VPS Deployment

Recommended always-on deployment pattern for a private DragonClaw server.

A VPS is the recommended production target for DragonClaw.

It gives you stable uptime, a fixed IP for Binance restrictions, and room for reverse proxying.

Recommended topology

Use a three-tier deployment pattern.

1. Public edge: expose Nginx to the internet for TLS, buffering, and edge controls.

2. Private gateway: keep the DragonClaw gateway bound to 127.0.0.1:18789.

3. Internal runtime: let the gateway route traffic to the agent loop, memory, skills, and connectors.

Checklist

1. Install DragonClaw

2. Run onboarding

3. Keep the gateway bound to localhost

4. Put Nginx in front

5. Set a gateway token

6. Run under a process manager

Why VPS works well

• Good fit for IP-restricted Binance keys

• Always-on connectors and alerts

• Local control over memory and secrets
