## Moltworker (Cloudflare Workers) {#moltworker}
103+
104+
[Moltworker](https://github.com/cloudflare/moltworker) is **Cloudflare's official** adaptation that runs OpenClaw on Workers and Sandbox containers — fully managed, always-on, no self-hosting required.
105+
106+
- **8,400 GitHub stars** | **License**: Apache-2.0
107+
- Multi-channel chat (Telegram, Discord, Slack)
108+
- Device pairing authentication
109+
- Optional R2 persistent storage
110+
- Browser automation via CDP
111+
- Cloudflare AI Gateway routing
112+
- **Cost**: ~$34.50/month on standard-1 instance
113+
114+
### Getting Started with Moltworker
115+
116+
1. Fork the [Moltworker repo](https://github.com/cloudflare/moltworker)
117+
2. Configure your Cloudflare account and Workers environment
118+
3. Set environment variables (LLM API keys, channel tokens)
119+
4. Deploy via `wrangler deploy`
120+
121+
:::tip
122+
Moltworker is ideal if you're already on the Cloudflare ecosystem. It handles scaling, uptime, and edge deployment automatically.
123+
:::
124+
125+
## Kubernetes (Helm Chart) {#kubernetes}
126+
127+
For production deployments on Kubernetes, use the community [Helm chart](https://github.com/serhanekicii/openclaw-helm):
128+
129+
```bash
130+
helm repo add openclaw https://serhanekicii.github.io/openclaw-helm
131+
helm install openclaw openclaw/openclaw -f values.yaml
132+
```
133+
134+
### Key Features
135+
136+
- **StatefulSet** deployment with Chromium sidecar for browser automation
137+
- **Security-hardened**: non-root containers, read-only root filesystems, all capabilities dropped
138+
- **Dual config modes**: "merge" (preserves runtime changes) or "overwrite" (strict GitOps)
139+
- **Init containers** for auto-installing ClawHub skills
140+
- **Health probes** on both OpenClaw and Chromium containers
141+
- **ArgoCD** and **Stakater Reloader** compatible
142+
- **Network policies** with deny-all-ingress defaults
143+
- Requires K8s 1.26+
