Hello everyone, this is programmer Wan Feng actively working on various AI projects.

Today I'm sharing a super practical tutorial: How to quickly deploy OpenClaw on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Application Server and configure domestically compliant AI model services. This solution is especially suitable for domestic developers, fully compliant with cybersecurity law and data security related regulations.

🚀 Why Choose Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Server?

Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Application Server is a cloud product designed specifically for small and medium enterprises and developers, with the following advantages:

Ready to use: Pre-installed popular software, one-click app deployment
High cost-effectiveness: Compared to regular cloud servers, package prices are more affordable
Simple and easy: Visual console, no complex configuration needed
Domestically compliant: Fully compliant with China's cybersecurity and data security regulations

🔧 Detailed Deployment Steps

Step 1: Purchase Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Server

Visit Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Purchase Page
Choose appropriate configuration (recommend 2 cores 4G or higher)
Select operating system (recommend Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
Set login password and security group rules

Step 2: Install OpenClaw

Connect to your server via SSH and execute the following commands:

# Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install Node.js (OpenClaw runtime environment)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Install OpenClaw
npm install -g openclaw

# Verify installation
openclaw --version

Step 3: Configure Domestic AI Model

To ensure compliance, we recommend using domestic large model services:

# Configure Tongyi Qianwen API (need to apply for API Key on Alibaba Cloud)
openclaw config set model.default qwen-max
openclaw config set model.qwen-max.apiKey your_qwen_api_key

# Or configure Ernie Bot (need to apply on Baidu AI Cloud)
openclaw config set model.default ernie-bot
openclaw config set model.ernie-bot.apiKey your_ernie_api_key

Step 4: Start OpenClaw Service

# Start OpenClaw gateway service
openclaw gateway start --port 8080

# Enable auto-start on boot (optional)
sudo systemctl enable openclaw

🛡️ Security Compliance Configuration

Network Security Configuration

Firewall settings: Only open necessary ports (8080, 443, etc.)
IP whitelist: Restrict access source IPs
HTTPS encryption: Configure SSL certificate to ensure secure data transmission

Data Security Measures

Local data storage: Sensitive data stored locally, not uploaded to overseas servers
Log auditing: Enable operation log recording for security auditing
Regular backup: Set up automatic backup strategy to prevent data loss

💡 Practical Application Scenarios

After deployment, you can achieve the following:

Intelligent customer service: Connect to WeChat Work, DingTalk and other domestic office platforms
Automated office: Process Excel, Word and other office documents
Data analysis: Analyze business data, generate visual reports
Code assistant: Assist development, improve programming efficiency
