Overview
OpenClaw AI Workstation for OpenClaw 2.0 is a ready-to-run Ubuntu 24.04 AMI for teams and builders who want a private cloud AI workstation that can run 24/7 in their own AWS account.
This image is a fresh OpenClaw 2.0 installation, not an in-place upgrade image. It combines OpenClaw 2026.8.1, Hermes Agent, Open WebUI, Ollama, browser automation, secure networking, and developer tooling into one opinionated virtual machine. Launch the AMI, SSH in, run agent-menu, and choose whether to use OpenClaw or Hermes as the active agent.
What is included:
- OpenClaw 2026.8.1
- Hermes Agent v0.20.0 based on upstream v2026.8.3
- agent-menu for switching between OpenClaw and Hermes
- Open WebUI for local/private chat and Ollama model access
- Ollama local model runtime
- Google Chrome, Playwright, Xvfb, x11vnc, and noVNC for browser automation
- Docker Engine with Docker Compose and Buildx
- Caddy web server for HTTPS reverse proxy setups
- Tailscale for private networking and secure remote access
- Developer tools including GitHub CLI, AWS CLI, jq, yq, ripgrep, fd-find, ffmpeg, tmux, and htop
The AMI is bring-your-own-model-access. No AI provider credentials, API keys, tokens, models, or subscriptions are included. Users can configure OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama models, or other supported OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Security model:
- SSH is the primary management interface.
- noVNC is available for visual browser automation; restrict access with security groups, SSH tunnels, Caddy, or Tailscale.
- Open WebUI and Ollama bind locally by default for safer access via SSH tunnels or private networking.
- Root SSH login and SSH password authentication are disabled.
This product packages open source software for convenience and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Nous Research, Open WebUI, Ollama, Tailscale, Caddy, Docker, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, or AWS.
Highlights
- Fresh OpenClaw 2.0 workstation image with OpenClaw 2026.8.1, Hermes Agent, Open WebUI, Ollama, Docker, Caddy, and Tailscale preinstalled
- agent-menu lets users choose OpenClaw or Hermes as the active agent after first SSH login
- Private AI workstation design: local Ollama support, local-only app ports, and secure access via SSH tunnels, HTTPS, or Tailscale
