Gateway, multi-channel routing, and automated tasks – on dedicated Mac nodes
This page outlines ideas and selection criteria for deploying OpenClaw on Zilmac bare-metal Mac; step-by-step operation guides will be published on theblog。
Above are directional descriptions, not an article list; detailed tutorials will be published in blog updates.
Prices, specs, and billing cycles are publicly listed; material changes will be synchronized per law. See
Chain trigger, routing, execution, and receipts into an auditable pipeline; compute lands on data-center Macs, untangled from your local environment.
Manage multi-channel, multi-agent bindings and routing through Gateway; node pairing, pending/approve flows, and more run natively on macOS for seamless integration with Apple toolchains.
Xcode builds, signing, simulators, and some agent toolchains require macOS. Cloud hosting provides predictable dedicated compute and fixed egress – suitable for 24/7 persistent Gateway or CI nodes.
Local machine handles orchestration and triggers; data-center Mac handles builds, daemon persistence, and channel callbacks. Certs and local state stay on the dedicated node, not shared with others.
Bare-metal isolation, fixed egress, and multi-region deployment let Gateway and execution nodes be placed by scenario.
Entire Mac mini dedicated; certs, daemons, and local state don't leak to others.
Webhook, Telegram/Discord callbacks, and cross-region pulls go through independent lines with more predictable latency.
Gateway and execution nodes can be placed by proximity – e.g., US East gateway + Asia-Pacific VNC verification.
Daily trials, monthly/quarterly for persistent Gateway or CI; disk and Thunderbolt add-ons available on demand.
Below are topic direction descriptions to help you match your scenario; operation guides will be published atBlog · OpenClaw。
Official script / npm path, onboarding and gateway health check; SSH/VNC connectivity as verification baseline.
Differences between SSH tunnel and wss direct connect, daemon/launchd persistence, and common Web Chat troubleshooting.
Bindings, node pairing, Telegram/Discord channel placement, and multi-agent division of labor.
US East / US West / Asia-Pacific node selection; 16GB vs 24GB, disk add-ons, and multi-machine interconnect topology.
Chain xcodebuild, pre-release checks, and receipt notifications into fixed pipelines – reduce manual clicking.
Approaches for common high-frequency issues: exit 127, pairing pending, cross-region fetch, and cache drift.
The flow varies by version and network environment; below is the common order on Zilmac.
On thePricing pageSelect M4 memory, disk, data center, and cycle; daily trial first to check latency and compile speed.
After activation, get credentials from the console; GUI verification via VNC, environment setup and log viewing via SSH.
Follow the official guide to complete onboarding, Gateway, and channel binding; persistence recommended via launchd.
Integrate CI, notification channels, or agent workflows; for multi-machine scenarios, plan gateway and execution node zones.
