PicoClaw VPS vs. Running It on Your Laptop
Why a server that never sleeps works better.
| NodexVPS server | Local machine | |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime | Runs 24/7, even when your laptop is closed | Stops when you sleep, travel or reboot |
| Network | 10 Gbps port with a static IP | Home connection, often behind NAT |
| Isolation | Separate server, away from your personal files | Shares the machine with everything else you do |
| Webhooks and APIs | Reachable from anywhere for callbacks | Needs tunnels or port forwarding |
| Scaling | Upgrade CPU and memory in place | Limited to the hardware you own |
| Cost | Flat monthly price | Power, wear and your time |

What to Plan Before You Deploy
A few simple checks that save time later.
Right-size the plan
PicoClaw needs little memory, so start small and add RAM only if you run many agents or a browser.
API keys
Keep model and notification keys in environment files with permissions limited to the agent's user.
Persistent state
Store each agent's config and last-run state on disk so a restart picks up where it left off.
Polite and closed
Respect target sites' rate limits and robots rules, and keep inbound ports closed apart from SSH.
Config backups
Keep agent configs in Git or copied off the server so a rebuild is quick.
Missed-run alerts
Log every run and alert when an agent misses its schedule or exits with an error.
Deployment Options for PicoClaw VPS
Pick the setup that fits your project.
Native service under systemd
Install PicoClaw on the host and run each agent as its own systemd unit with a separate config.
A container per agent
Run each agent in a small Docker container so you can update or remove one without touching the rest.
Spread across locations
Place agents on small servers near the APIs or sites they watch, each running independently.
