Two OpenClaw instances on one VPS? Here’s how we did it.

Server

IP: 23.144.92.68
Instance 1: 18791-18792
Instance 2: 18793-18794

Steps

1. Clone Twice

git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git openclaw-1
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git openclaw-2

2. Use Stable Version

cd openclaw-1 && git checkout v2026.3.13-1
cd openclaw-2 && git checkout v2026.3.13-1

3. Different Ports

Instance 2 needs different ports:

sed -i 's/18789-18790/18793-18794/g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml

4. Fix Volume Paths

# Instance 1
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-1|g' openclaw-1/docker-compose.yml
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-1-workspace|g' openclaw-1/docker-compose.yml

# Instance 2
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-2|g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-2-workspace|g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml

5. Permissions

mkdir -p /root/.openclaw-1 /root/.openclaw-1-workspace
mkdir -p /root/.openclaw-2 /root/.openclaw-2-workspace
chmod -R 777 /root/.openclaw-1 /root/.openclaw-2

6. Add Root User

Edit docker-compose.yml, add user: "0:0" under service.

7. Initialize

cd openclaw-1 && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli onboard
cd openclaw-2 && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli onboard

8. Fix Telegram

sed -i 's/"groupPolicy": "allowlist"/"groupPolicy": "open"/g' /root/.openclaw-1/openclaw.json
sed -i '/"allowFrom":/d' /root/.openclaw-1/openclaw.json

9. Restart

docker restart openclaw-1
docker restart openclaw-2

Access

Instance 1: http://23.144.92.68:18792
Instance 2: http://23.144.92.68:18793

Pitfalls

Issue	Fix
Buggy latest version	Use v2026.3.13-1
Port conflict	Change docker-compose.yml
Permission denied	Add user: “0:0”
Wrong path	Hardcode volume mounts
Telegram blocked	Set groupPolicy: “open”

两个 OpenClaw 实例跑在同一台 VPS 上？怎么弄？这篇记录了我们踩过的坑和解决方案。

服务器

IP: 23.144.92.68
实例 1: 18791-18792
实例 2: 18793-18794

步骤

1. 克隆两次

git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git openclaw-1
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git openclaw-2

2. 用稳定版

cd openclaw-1 && git checkout v2026.3.13-1
cd openclaw-2 && git checkout v2026.3.13-1

3. 改端口

实例 2 需要不同端口：

sed -i 's/18789-18790/18793-18794/g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml

4. 修复卷挂载

# 实例1
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-1|g' openclaw-1/docker-compose.yml
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-1-workspace|g' openclaw-1/docker-compose.yml

# 实例2
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-2|g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml
sed -i 's|\${OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE_DIR}|/root/.openclaw-2-workspace|g' openclaw-2/docker-compose.yml

5. 权限

mkdir -p /root/.openclaw-1 /root/.openclaw-1-workspace
mkdir -p /root/.openclaw-2 /root/.openclaw-2-workspace
chmod -R 777 /root/.openclaw-1 /root/.openclaw-2

6. 加 Root 用户

编辑 docker-compose.yml，在 service 下加 user: "0:0"

7. 初始化

cd openclaw-1 && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli onboard
cd openclaw-2 && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli onboard

8. 修复 Telegram

sed -i 's/"groupPolicy": "allowlist"/"groupPolicy": "open"/g' /root/.openclaw-1/openclaw.json
sed -i '/"allowFrom":/d' /root/.openclaw-1/openclaw.json

9. 重启

docker restart openclaw-1
docker restart openclaw-2

访问

实例 1: http://23.144.92.68:18792
实例 2: http://23.144.92.68:18793

坑点

问题	解决
最新版有 bug	用 v2026.3.13-1
端口冲突	改 docker-compose.yml
权限拒绝	加 user: “0:0”
路径错误	硬编码卷挂载
Telegram 被挡	设 groupPolicy: “open”
