Post Description
Hey HN, I built LobsterLair because I got tired of maintaining my own OpenClaw setup. Docker updates, uptime monitoring, API key management — it ate more time than actually using the agent.
So I built managed hosting: sign up, name your bot, start chatting. Under 2 minutes.
AI is included. Every instance runs MiniMax M2.5 (200k context) — no API key needed, no OpenAI account, no billing surprises. You just chat.
Each user gets an isolated Docker container with AES-256 encryption, persistent memory, and built-in Chromium for web automation. Connect via webchat or Telegram.
48h free trial, no credit card. $19/mo after that.
Stack: Next.js, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Hetzner (Germany). Happy to answer questions about the architecture or the business side.

AgentClaw – A no-code platform for OpenClaw agents
Turns the usual VPS pain of running OpenClaw into a button-click flow: sign up, add API keys, pick integrations (Telegram/Discord) and claim an agent live in under a minute with AES-256 key storage and a 99.9% SLA. Practical and focused — it removes the 3am-restart problem — but the site glosses over runtime limits, logs/observability, and how much you can customize inside an instance.
