OpenClaw One-Click Deployment

Now all major platforms support this agent. If you don't want to install it locally, you can deploy OpenClaw to the cloud with one click:

Token can be more cost-effective by purchasing the Coding plan package:

    Deploy OpenClaw on Alibaba Cloud

    This chapter will detail how to use Alibaba Cloud to deploy OpenClaw. Visithttps://www.aliyun.com/activity/ecs/clawdbot, choose one-click purchase and deploy:

    If you are fast, you can grab a server for 9.9 every day.

    The advantages of cloud server deployment are still quite obvious:

    The package already includes the server and the large model:

    We can use their images for one-click installation:

    After purchase, you can go to the console to configure OpenClaw:

    Configure OpenClaw

    During OpenClaw execution, it calls the Bailian model by default. There are two main billing methods for model calls:

    • Coding Plan AI Coding Package (recommended):Uses a fixed monthly fee model, provides monthly request quotas. Calls exceeding the time limit will error out without incurring charges, avoiding unexpected costs. Currently supports models such as qwen3.5-plus, kimi-k2.5, MiniMax-M2.5, glm-5.
    • Billed by Token usage:OpenClaw version 2026.2.26 uses the qwen3.5-plus model as the default text and image processing model. If you use it a lot, this is not cost-effective.

    We can first use the Alibaba Cloud main account to access the Bailian Model Studio platform:https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/Then click Login in the upper-right corner. After logging in, click the gear ⚙️ icon in the upper-right corner, select API key, and copy the API key. If you don't have one, you can also create an API key:

    Activating Alibaba Cloud Bailian does not incur any fees. Only model calls (after exceeding the free quota), model deployment, and model fine-tuning will generate corresponding charges.

    OpenClaw is still quite token-consuming. If you plan to use it long-term, we can first purchase the cheapest package:Alibaba Cloud Bailian Large Model Service Platform。

    Coding Plan

    Coding Plan is basically too hard to grab and is being taken down. Alibaba has now switched to Token Plan. See:Alibaba Cloud Bailian Token Plan

    • OpenAI compatible:https://token-plan.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1
    • Anthropic compatible:https://token-plan.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic

    Additionally, using Bailian's Coding Plan package is cheaper:https://www.aliyun.com/benefit/scene/codingplan

    After purchasing the Coding Plan package, you can go to theCoding Planpage to obtain the Coding Plan exclusive API Key (format: sk-sp-xxxxx).

    Later, you need to configure one of the following Base URLs in your AI tool (varies by tool):

    • OpenAI-compatible protocol (for OpenClaw): https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1
    • Anthropic-compatible protocol: https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic

    Note:Coding Plan 专Attributeof API Key and Base URL and百炼Pay-as-you-goof API Key（sk-xxxxx) andBase URL（https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/xxxxxx）No互通，please勿混use.

    If you cannot grab one, you can directly purchase a resource package:https://cn.aliyun.com/benefit?from_alibabacloud=&userCode=i5mn5r7m

    InServer page, click the instance ID on the server card to enter the server overview page.

    Click the Application Details tab to configure OpenClaw.

    • Port opening:You need to allow the firewall for the corresponding port. Click One-click Open to allow it.
    • Configure OpenClaw:Click Execute Command, enter the API-Key of Bailian, then click Next.
    • Access Control page:Click Execute Command to get the address for Clawdbot conversations.
    • View Token:In Help < Token Configuration, click Execute Command to obtain the Token.

    Enable ResponseAPI access. Subsequently, AppFlow will access OpenClaw via the API.
