How to Deploy OpenClaw with GitOps

Intermediate2-3 hoursUpdated 2026-02-11

GitOps transforms how you deploy and manage OpenClaw infrastructure. This guide covers using Git as your single source of truth with ArgoCD or Flux, enabling automated deployments, easy rollbacks, and a complete audit trail of infrastructure changes. Perfect for teams that want declarative, version-controlled deployments with minimal manual intervention.

Why This Is Hard to Do Yourself

These are the common pitfalls that trip people up.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

GitOps tooling complexity

ArgoCD and Flux have steep learning curves with multiple configuration layers

๐Ÿ”„

Synchronization drift

Keeping Git state in sync with actual cluster state can be tricky

๐Ÿ”

Secret management

Storing sensitive data in Git repositories securely is non-trivial

โฎ๏ธ

Rollback procedures

Understanding how to safely revert deployments in GitOps workflows

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Set up a Git repository for OpenClaw

Create a dedicated repository for GitOps manifests.

Step 2

Install ArgoCD or Flux on your cluster

Deploy the GitOps controller to your Kubernetes cluster.

Step 3

Create OpenClaw Kustomize/Helm manifests

Define OpenClaw deployment as declarative manifests.

Step 4

Create ArgoCD Application or Flux HelmRelease

Define how GitOps syncs your deployments.

Warning: Use automated sync with pruning carefully in production. Test rollback procedures first.

Step 5

Manage secrets securely

Store encrypted secrets in Git while keeping them secure.

Step 6

Set up automatic sync and monitoring

Enable automatic deployments and monitor drift.

Step 7

Implement rollback procedures

Practice safe rollbacks in case of issues.
