Best for
You already run locally and need production rollout.
Expected result
You finish with a rollback-safe production release.
Execution Steps
- Prepare rollback first: keep previous image tag and last known-good config snapshot.
- Deploy with stable tags and one-variable changes per release window.
- Run post-release checks: service health, callback loop, and a real task execution.
- If checks fail, rollback immediately and capture logs before re-attempting.
Key Commands
docker compose up -d
docker ps | grep openclaw
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000
Common Risks
- Do not release without rollback validation.
- Do not change image, config, and model policy at once.
Frequent Failure Patterns
- Changing too many variables at once hides root cause.
- No rollback rehearsal extends outage recovery time.
Acceptance Checks
- Production endpoint works
- Critical flow passes checks
- No persistent high-severity log error
