Scope

This chapter helps you decide where to run the Gateway (local machine, VPS, Raspberry Pi) and points to platform-specific notes.

Moltbot core runs on Node.js. Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (channel stability issues).

Choose your platform

  • macOS: /en/docs/platforms/macos/
  • Windows (recommended via WSL2): /en/docs/platforms/windows/
  • Linux: /en/docs/platforms/linux/
  • iOS node: /en/docs/platforms/ios/
  • Android node: /en/docs/platforms/android/

VPS & hosting (always-on gateways)

  • Hetzner (Docker): /en/docs/platforms/hetzner/
  • Fly.io: /en/docs/platforms/fly/
  • DigitalOcean: /en/docs/platforms/digitalocean/
  • GCP Compute Engine (Docker): /en/docs/platforms/gcp/
  • exe.dev: /en/docs/platforms/exe-dev/
  • Render: /en/docs/platforms/render/
  • Railway: /en/docs/platforms/railway/

Home / low-power

  • Raspberry Pi (ARM64): /en/docs/platforms/raspberry-pi/

Gateway service install (CLI)

Any of these are supported:

  • Wizard (recommended): moltbot onboard --install-daemon
  • Direct: moltbot gateway install
  • Repair/migrate: moltbot doctor (can offer to install/fix the service)

What to verify
