Northflank

Deploy Velaclaw on Northflank with a one-click template and access it through the web Control UI. This is the easiest “no terminal on the server” path: Northflank runs the Gateway for you.

​

How to get started

1. Click Deploy Velaclaw to open the template.
2. Create an account on Northflank if you don’t already have one.
3. Click Deploy Velaclaw now.
4. Set the required environment variable: VELACLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN (use a strong random value).
5. Click Deploy stack to build and run the Velaclaw template.
6. Wait for the deployment to complete, then click View resources.
7. Open the Velaclaw service.
8. Open the public Velaclaw URL at / and connect using the configured shared secret. This template uses VELACLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN by default; if you replace it with password auth, use that password instead.

​

What you get

• Hosted Velaclaw Gateway + Control UI
• Persistent storage via Northflank Volume (/data) so velaclaw.json, per-agent auth-profiles.json, channel/provider state, sessions, and workspace survive redeploys

​

Connect a channel

Use the Control UI at / or run velaclaw onboard via SSH for channel setup instructions:

• Telegram (fastest — just a bot token)
• Discord
• All channels
