Deploy on Northflank

Deploy CoderClaw on Northflank with a one-click template and finish setup in your browser. This is the easiest “no terminal on the server” path: Northflank runs the Gateway for you, and you configure everything via the /setup web wizard.

How to get started

1. Click Deploy CoderClaw to open the template.
2. Create an account on Northflank if you don’t already have one.
3. Click Deploy CoderClaw now.
4. Set the required environment variable: SETUP_PASSWORD.
5. Click Deploy stack to build and run the CoderClaw template.
6. Wait for the deployment to complete, then click View resources.
7. Open the CoderClaw service.
8. Open the public CoderClaw URL and complete setup at /setup.
9. Open the Control UI at /coderclaw.

What you get

• Hosted CoderClaw Gateway + Control UI
• Web setup wizard at /setup (no terminal commands)
• Persistent storage via Northflank Volume (/data) so config/credentials/workspace survive redeploys

Setup flow

1. Visit https://<your-northflank-domain>/setup and enter your SETUP_PASSWORD.
2. Choose a model/auth provider and paste your key.
3. (Optional) Add Telegram/Discord/Slack tokens.
4. Click Run setup.
5. Open the Control UI at https://<your-northflank-domain>/coderclaw

If Telegram DMs are set to pairing, the setup wizard can approve the pairing code.
