What is 1-Click OpenClaw and how to set it up?

Get started with OpenClaw on a managed instance with nexos.ai integration and automated AI assistant setup.

Updated 7 days ago

1-Click OpenClaw is a streamlined solution available for Hostinger Germany customers that simplifies the implementation of AI assistants. This feature automates server management and security settings, allowing you to focus on configuring your AI assistant.

By using 1-Click OpenClaw, you receive:

  • Fast onboarding: Choose your AI provider and a communication channel like WhatsApp or Telegram.
  • Integrated AI: Use nexos.ai to avoid manual API key configurations.
  • Isolated environment: Your OpenClaw instance runs within a secure Docker container.
  • Managed infrastructure: Hostinger handles all security features and auto-updates.

Difference Between 1-Click OpenClaw and VPS

With a VPS, you get full root access and complete control over the server – but that also means you’re responsible for setup, updates, and security. OpenClaw with just one click eliminates all of that. We take care of the infrastructure, keep your instance on the latest stable version, and add extra layers of security – so you can focus entirely on your AI assistant instead of managing a server.

Root access No — Hostinger manages the server Yes — full root access
Setup required None — automated Manual setup required
Security & updates Handled by Hostinger automatically User’s responsibility
Focus AI assistant internal configuration only Full server control
Target user Non-technical or time-focused user Technical user

Prerequisites

  • A Hostinger Germany account (more brands coming soon).
  • An active Telegram or WhatsApp account for the AI communication channel.

Set Up the 1-Click OpenClaw Instance

You can purchase 1-Click OpenClaw with or without the Ready-to-use AI option.

  1. Configure the AI Provider – If you purchased the version without Ready-to-use AI, enter your externally generated API key during the onboarding process.

  2. Select a Communication Channel – Choose how you want to interact with the AI assistant.

    • WhatsApp – Enter your phone number to interact with the assistant via the WhatsApp app.

    • Telegram – Follow the prompts to connect your account using BotFather.

    • Discord – This option is currently under development.
    • If you prefer to set it up later on – click next.
  3. Finalize the Installation – After selecting your preferences, the system will prepare your environment. This may take a few moments.
  4. Access the Assistant – Click the OpenClaw button to open the application. You can also click the access key button to copy your unique token.

Once the setup is complete, it will take a few moments for everything to be prepared. Meanwhile, you can send a message saying “Hi” to your assistant to begin the initial configuration interview – it will ask you a few questions about yourself, your communication preferences, etc. 

After setting up your applications, you will be able to find them on the OpenClaw hPanel side menu option. From there, you can access your OpenClaw instances, copy your access key, and click the options button (⋮) to choose manage or delete options from the dropdown.

By completing these steps, you have successfully deployed a managed AI assistant environment. You can now interact with your OpenClaw instance through your chosen messaging platform to automate tasks and streamline your workflow.
