Install and deploy an OpenClaw gateway on Google Cloud Platform from scratch. Walks through GCP project setup, VM creation, Docker installation, OpenClaw deployment, SSH tunnel configuration, and verification. Use when setting up OpenClaw on GCP, creating a VM for an OpenClaw gateway, deploying OpenClaw to the cloud, or connecting to a remote OpenClaw instance.

Choose how to use this skill

You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.

1. Native installer

This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.

Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.

2. Complete package recommended

Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.

No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.

3. Prompt-only

Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.

Need only the instruction file?

Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.

No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

install-openclaw-gcp

A Claude Code skill that walks you through deploying an OpenClaw gateway on Google Cloud Platform.

You end up with a Debian 12 VM running OpenClaw in Docker, accessible from your local machine through an SSH tunnel. No public internet exposure.

Install

Clone into your Claude Code skills directory:

# Personal (available across all projects)
git clone https://github.com/GKjohns/install-openclaw-gcp.git ~/.claude/skills/install-openclaw-gcp

# Or project-level (shared via version control)
git clone https://github.com/GKjohns/install-openclaw-gcp.git .claude/skills/install-openclaw-gcp

Usage

In Claude Code, invoke with:

/install-openclaw-gcp

Or just ask Claude something like "help me set up OpenClaw on GCP" and it will pick up the skill automatically.

The skill covers the full process:

  1. Installing and authenticating the gcloud CLI
  2. Creating a GCP project with Compute Engine enabled
  3. Provisioning an e2-medium VM (Debian 12, 20 GB disk)
  4. Installing Docker
  5. Running the OpenClaw setup script (image pull, onboarding, container start)
  6. Verifying the gateway
  7. Retrieving the gateway token
  8. Connecting via SSH tunnel
