A Synology VM is just a normal Linux box as far as OpenClaw is concerned — follow the Linux/VPS install path.

1) Create the VM (recommended)

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (or Debian 12)
  • Resources: start with 1–2 vCPU + 2GB RAM (1GB can work, but 2GB is nicer)
  • Make sure the VM has outbound internet + SSH enabled

2) Install OpenClaw inside the VM

Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/platforms/linux and https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started

Typical flow:

# (prereq) Node 22+ installed
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
