Architecture Notes

For advanced users — how KiloClaw instances are structured:

  • Dedicated machine — Each user gets their own machine and persistent volume. There is no shared infrastructure between users.
  • Region-pinned storage — Your persistent volume stays in the region where your instance was originally created.
  • Network isolation — OpenClaw binds to loopback only; external traffic is proxied through a Kilo controller.
  • Per-user authentication — The gateway token is derived per-user for authenticating requests to your machine.
  • Encryption at rest — Sensitive data (API keys, channel tokens) is encrypted at rest in the machine configuration.
