Updates without surprise breakage
OpenClaw moves fast. When updates quietly break gateways, cron jobs, or hooks, operators pay the price. Our posture is staged upgrades, focused checks, and rollback-ready changes.
molt.host is an independent, third-party hosting service for OpenClaw. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenClaw project or its creators.
The fear is rational
In community update threads, the same failures keep coming up. Usually it is one of these:
- "update broke everything"
- "cron jobs don't run"
- "broken hooks"
- "Error: Config validation failed"
How staged upgrades work
We treat OpenClaw like an operational service, not a weekend project. Updates get a path, not a coin flip.
Stage first
Updates hit staging before stable so we can catch regressions early.
Check what matters
We verify the parts that fail in the wild: gateway/auth health, channel connectivity, and automations.
Promote gradually
When checks are clean, we promote to stable in a controlled window.
Pause + roll back
If something regresses, we pause rollout and attempt rollback when the update path supports it.
What we check before promoting to stable
We check more than uptime. We check the failures that make operators say "it went dark again."
- Gateway auth still works (avoid "HTTP 401: Invalid Authentication").
- Channels stay connected (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, and iMessage).
- Cron jobs and scheduled tasks still fire.
- Hooks and integrations still trigger.
- Config validation passes cleanly.
Example update report (simplified)
When an upgrade is staged, you should be able to see what changed and what was verified.
