How to configure OpenClaw cloud deployment with custom SSL certificates?

To configure OpenClaw cloud deployment with custom SSL certificates, follow these steps:

1. Prepare Your Custom SSL Certificate

Ensure you have the following files ready:

• Certificate file (typically .crt or .pem) – This is your domain's public certificate.
• Private key file (.key) – The private key associated with your certificate.
• CA Bundle (Optional) – If your certificate requires an intermediate certificate, combine it with your main certificate into a single .crt file or provide it separately.

2. Upload SSL Certificate to OpenClaw Cloud

• Log in to your OpenClaw cloud management console.
• Navigate to the SSL/TLS or Certificates section (the exact location may vary based on the OpenClaw interface).
• Upload your certificate file, private key file, and CA bundle (if applicable).
• Save the configuration.

3. Configure Your OpenClaw Application

• Access your OpenClaw application settings (e.g., via a dashboard or configuration file).
• Specify the custom SSL certificate in your application’s networking or security settings.
• If using a reverse proxy (like Nginx or Apache), update the proxy configuration to use the uploaded SSL certificate. Example for Nginx:

  server {
      listen 443 ssl;
      server_name yourdomain.com;
  
      ssl_certificate /path/to/your/certificate.crt;
      ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/private.key;
  
      location / {
          proxy_pass http://localhost:your_openclaw_port;
          proxy_set_header Host $host;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      }
  }
  

• Replace /path/to/your/certificate.crt and /path/to/your/private.key with the actual paths to your uploaded files.

4. Enable HTTPS in OpenClaw

• Ensure your OpenClaw application is configured to listen for HTTPS traffic (port 443).
• If OpenClaw has a built-in HTTPS setting, enable it and point to the uploaded certificate.

5. Test the Deployment

• Access your OpenClaw application via https://yourdomain.com.
• Verify the SSL certificate is working correctly using browser tools or online services like SSL Labs.

6. Automate Renewal (Optional)

• If your SSL certificate has an expiration date, set up an automated renewal process.
• Use tools like Certbot or your certificate provider’s renewal API to fetch and upload new certificates before they expire.
