One-click OpenClaw deployment on Elastic Desktop Service

Create an OpenClaw cloud computer

Configure 24/7 operation

• By default, the Auto Shutdown/Sleep on Disconnection feature is enabled to prevent unexpected Wuying Beans consumption if you forget to shut down or hibernate your cloud computer. The cloud computer automatically enters hibernation after 10 minutes of disconnection. A cloud computer in hibernation does not consume Wuying Beans.

• When the cloud computer is in hibernation, the OpenClaw service deployed on it cannot be accessed. If you access OpenClaw through a third-party IM channel (such as DingTalk, Lark, or QQ), hibernation may prevent the bot from returning messages correctly. To avoid this, you can disable the Auto Shutdown/Sleep on Disconnection feature to allow OpenClaw to run 24/7.

1. Click the Manage button on the target cloud computer card.

2. Select the Policy tab and turn off the Auto Shutdown/Sleep on Disconnection switch.

Chat with OpenClaw

After you configure the model, you can chat with OpenClaw directly or assign tasks and commands within the cloud computer.

1. Double-click the OpenClaw icon on the cloud computer desktop.

2. On the Chat tab, start a conversation with OpenClaw to verify that the environment and model are correctly configured.

   Note

   • To set the display language of the OpenClaw console to Chinese, select Overview from the left-side navigation pane, and in the Gateway Access area, set language to Simplified Chinese.

   • To change the display language of the operating system, see Change System Language to Chinese.

DingTalk integration

In the channel settings, you can select and connect to various IM platforms. This allows you to send tasks and commands to OpenClaw through these platforms. The following example shows how to integrate with DingTalk. For more integration options, see More Channel Integrations.

Change the system language to Chinese

To change the system language of the cloud computer to Chinese, follow these steps:

1. At the bottom left of the cloud computer screen, click Show Applications. In the search box at the top, enter Terminal and open it.

2. In the Terminal, run the following commands:

   sudo echo "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" >> ~/.bashrc
   sudo echo "export LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh" >> ~/.bashrc
   echo "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
   echo "export LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
   source ~/.bashrc
   source /etc/profile

3. Return to the Elastic Desktop Service client. Click the Power button on the target cloud computer card, and then click Restart.

4. After the restart, connect to the cloud computer and accept the related name changes.

6. After you confirm that the information is correct, click Add and Enable.

   Note

   If you add multiple models, OpenClaw uses only the one with the In Use status. To switch to a different model, click the edit icon for that model and then click Switch and Enable.

Effects of changing the image

Changing the image does not affect the size of the system disk or data disk, or your subscription plan.

Firefox connection error

Try running the following commands in the Terminal to fix the issue:

openclaw gateway restart
openclaw doctor --fix

Remote access to OpenClaw

Elastic Desktop Service does not expose ports to the public internet, so you cannot access services on the cloud computer from a local browser. To access OpenClaw, connect to the cloud computer with the Elastic Desktop Service client and use the cloud computer's browser.
