Low-Power Self-Hosting Doctor v1.0 Release Notes

What it does

Low-Power Self-Hosting Doctor checks whether an OpenClaw setup is likely to behave well on Raspberry Pi, ARM boards, mini PCs, or small VPS environments. It highlights resource pressure, heavy dependency footprints, fragile always-on services, and missing lightweight fallback planning before small hardware gets overwhelmed.

Use cases

Hobbyists and teams installing OpenClaw on Raspberry Pi, ARM boards, mini PCs, or low-memory VPS hosts.
Operators investigating swap pressure, disk pressure, slow services, or dependency bloat on constrained hardware.
Self-hosters who want a lightweight readiness checklist before adding agents, models, or background services.

Requirements

OpenClaw: v2026.3.23 or later recommended.
Runtime: Python 3.10+.
Dependencies: Python standard library only (argparse, json, re, datetime, pathlib).
API keys: none required.
Inputs: optional text/code/config paths. The tool refuses sensitive filenames such as .env, openclaw.json, key files, and core memory/persona files.

Example usage


cd skills/low-power-self-hosting-doctor
python3 scripts/low_power_self_hosting.py --json /path/to/review-notes.md
