This isolates workloads and limits access to only the filesystems you explicitly mount.&nbsp;Bash commands run inside the container &#8211; not on your host. That single architectural decision is what makes giving an AI agent shell access safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Docker is not just a deployment tool here. It is\u00a0NanoClaw&#8217;s\u00a0isolation boundary. Each agent group gets its own container, its own filesystem scope, and its own process. The host machine stays untouched regardless of what the agent does inside its sandbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-prerequisites-for-installing-nbsp-nanoclaw-nbsp\">What are the prerequisites for installing&nbsp;NanoClaw?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin, make sure your server meets the requirements for this tutorial. The steps below were written for an Enterprise Linux\u2013based VPS that uses the&nbsp;dnf&nbsp;package manager. If&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;using Ubuntu or Debian, some package installation commands will differ, although the overall deployment process&nbsp;remains&nbsp;the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll&nbsp;need:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A self-managed Bluehost VPS with SSH access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Root or\u00a0sudo\u00a0privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A supported Enterprise Linux distribution using\u00a0dnf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A basic understanding of the Linux command line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A stable internet connection to download Docker packages and the\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0container image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important prerequisite is\u00a0Claude\u00a0Code.\u00a0NanoClaw&#8217;s\u00a0entire setup process runs through Claude Code&#8217;s \/setup skill. If Claude Code is not installed, authenticated and working before you begin, the setup will not\u00a0complete\u00a0correctly. Confirm the\u00a0claude\u00a0command works in your terminal before moving to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-setup-nanoclaw-on-a-vps-with-docker\">How to setup\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0on a VPS with Docker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;with Docker involves a few key steps. This process starts with connecting to your server and ends with a running application.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these instructions carefully for&nbsp;a successful&nbsp;deployment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-connect-to-your-vps-nbsp\">Step 1: Connect to your VPS&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your terminal and connect to your Bluehost VPS over SSH, replacing username and&nbsp;your_server_ip&nbsp;with your actual credentials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ssh\u00a0username@your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once connected, update your\u00a0system\u00a0packages before installing any dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo\u00a0apt update &amp;&amp;\u00a0sudo\u00a0apt upgrade\u00a0-y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once connected, you are ready to install the necessary software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-node-js-docker-and-claude-code-nbsp\">Step 2: Install Node.js, Docker and Claude Code&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NanoClaw\u00a0requires\u00a0Node.js 20 or later and Docker Engine as its container runtime. Install both, then install Claude Code globally via\u00a0npm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Install Node.js 20\u00a0\ncurl\u00a0-fsSL\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_20.x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_20.x<\/a>\u00a0| bash\u00a0-\u00a0\nsudo apt install\u00a0-y nodejs\u00a0\n\u00a0\n# Install Docker Engine\u00a0\ncurl\u00a0-fsSL\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/get.docker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/get.docker.com<\/a>\u00a0| sh\u00a0\nsudo\u00a0usermod\u00a0-aG\u00a0docker $USER\u00a0\n\u00a0\n# Start Docker and enable it on boot\u00a0\nsudo\u00a0systemctl\u00a0start docker\u00a0\nsudo\u00a0systemctl\u00a0enable docker\u00a0\n\u00a0\n# Install Claude Code\u00a0\nnpm install\u00a0-g @anthropic-ai\/claude-code\u00a0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After adding your user to the Docker group, log out and log back&nbsp;in&nbsp;so the permission change takes effect. Confirm Docker is running with docker info before continuing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-clone-the-nbsp-nanoclaw-nbsp-repository-nbsp\">Step 3: Clone the&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;repository&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fork and clone the&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;repository from GitHub, then move into the project directory. Forking ensures you can push your own customizations while pulling upstream updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>git clone\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/qwibitai\/NanoClaw.git\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/github.com\/qwibitai\/NanoClaw.git<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>cd\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>NanoClaw&#8217;s&nbsp;codebase is intentionally small&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;one process, a handful of source files, no microservices. This makes it straightforward to read,&nbsp;audit&nbsp;and&nbsp;modify. Claude Code can walk you through the entire codebase if needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-run-the-nbsp-claudecode-nbsp-setup-nbsp\">Step 4: Run the&nbsp;ClaudeCode&nbsp;setup&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the key step that separates\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0from a traditional manual install.\u00a0NanoClaw&#8217;s\u00a0setup is not a configuration file\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0it is a guided, AI-native process run through Claude Code&#8217;s \/setup skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From inside the\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0directory, start Claude Code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clude&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Claude Code is running, type the following inside the Claude session&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;not in your terminal:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\/setup&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claude Code&nbsp;automates most of the setup process. It&nbsp;validates&nbsp;your environment, installs the required dependencies, builds the container runner, configures Docker for agent isolation, creates the&nbsp;.env&nbsp;file with your Anthropic API key and registers a&nbsp;systemd&nbsp;service to keep the agent running after reboots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During setup you will be prompted to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm or provide your Anthropic API key\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a messaging channel\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0WhatsApp authentication uses a QR code scan or pairing code; Telegram, Discord and Slack use API tokens\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm container runtime detection (Docker on Linux VPS)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If something breaks during setup, Claude Code will&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;to fix it automatically. For issues it cannot resolve, run \/debug inside the Claude session.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-verify-the-agent-running-nbsp\">Step 5: Verify the agent running&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once setup completes,\u00a0confirm\u00a0the\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0service is\u00a0active\u00a0and the agent container is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Check the\u00a0systemd\u00a0service status\u00a0\nsudo\u00a0systemctl\u00a0status nanoclaw\u00a0\n\u00a0\n# List running Docker containers\u00a0\ndocker\u00a0ps\u00a0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see the&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;service marked as active and a container running the agent process. Each agent group in&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;runs in its own isolated container&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;only the filesystem explicitly mounted to that container is visible to the agent. Bash access is safe because commands run inside the container, not on your host.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To verify the full installation end-to-end, send a message to your connected channel. The agent should respond within a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-host-nanoclaw-on-bluehost-vps\">Why host\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0on Bluehost VPS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;in production requires infrastructure that delivers consistent performance, secure containerized environments and the flexibility to scale as your AI workloads grow. Bluehost VPS provides dedicated resources, full root access and high-speed&nbsp;NVMe&nbsp;storage, giving developers the control they need to deploy,&nbsp;manage&nbsp;and&nbsp;optimize&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;with confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dedicated resources for a persistent process.<\/strong>&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;runs as a Node.js service with Docker container overhead for each active agent.&nbsp;Dedicated&nbsp;CPU and RAM&nbsp;ensure your&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;agents have consistent performance without competing for resources with other tenants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NVMe&nbsp;storage for fast container I\/O.<\/strong>&nbsp;Container builds, SQLite memory reads and writes and session file access all benefit from the fast input and output speeds&nbsp;NVMe&nbsp;storage provides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unmetered bandwidth for outgoing API calls.<\/strong>&nbsp;Every message your&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;agent processes triggers outgoing API calls to the Anthropic API.

Add messaging channels using skills such as\u00a0\/add-telegram\u00a0or\u00a0\/add-gmail\u00a0to connect the agent with external communication platforms. You can also automate recurring tasks by configuring\u00a0HEARTBEAT.md\u00a0for scheduled execution. For more complex workflows, enable\u00a0Agent Swarms\u00a0to distribute work across multiple specialized sub-agents running in parallel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire codebase stays small enough to understand and audit. That matters when you are building on top of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to deploy? Bluehost&#8217;s Standard VPS plan includes 8 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM and&nbsp;NVMe&nbsp;storage&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;enough to run&nbsp;NanoClaw&nbsp;with multiple active agent groups and room to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782735686542\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I run other Docker containers on the same VPS?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Because each\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0agent\u00a0runs in\u00a0its own isolated Linux container, it does not interfere with other processes on the server. Make sure your VPS plan has enough CPU and RAM to support the\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0service, its agent containers and any other applications running simultaneously.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782736086745\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I update\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0to the latest version?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Claude Code is an interactive CLI tool &#8211; you use it manually in a terminal session.\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0is an always-on AI assistant that runs as a background service on your server. It listens\u00a0for\u00a0messages from WhatsApp, Telegram, and other supported channels while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0persistent memory across conversations.\u00a0<br>Beyond responding to messages,\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0can automate scheduled tasks and launch Agent Swarms to handle complex workflows using multiple specialized agents. It is built on Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK, but it is designed to run without your input.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782736188697\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What container runtime does\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0use?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">On Linux VPS,\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0uses Docker Engine. On macOS, it supports both Docker Desktop and Apple Container. The container runtime is detected automatically during setup.\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0can also run inside Docker Sandboxes for an\u00a0additional\u00a0layer of\u00a0MicroVM-based isolation.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782736210009\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I add WhatsApp or other messaging channels?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Channel setup runs through Claude Code skills. After the\u00a0initial\u00a0\/setup, run \/add-whatsapp\u00a0inside the Claude session for WhatsApp\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0this generates a QR code or pairing code for authentication. For Telegram, Slack, Discord, or Gmail, the corresponding skill walks through token configuration. You can run multiple channels simultaneously from one\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0instance.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782736225298\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I update\u00a0NanoClaw?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pull the latest changes from the upstream repository and re-run the setup to rebuild the container and apply any updated configuration. Because\u00a0NanoClaw\u00a0uses a persistent SQLite database for memory, your conversation history and group registrations carry through updates.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782736327729\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Bluehost VPS plan is best for running multiple Docker containers?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Standard plan is the right starting point for most users running one or two channels with occasional agent swarms.
