Updates & Maintenance

easyClaw has a built-in update system that keeps your agent current with automatic backups and rollback.

Checking for Updates

Go to Settings and click Check for Updates. If a new version is available, you’ll see:

What version is available
What’s new (changelog)
An Apply Update button

Applying Updates

Click Apply Update and easyClaw will:

Create a backup of your current installation
Download the new version
Install it (preserving your settings, avatars, and data)
Restart the service
Reload the page

The whole process takes about 30 seconds.

Rolling Back

If an update causes problems:

Go to Settings → click Check for Updates → use the Rollback dropdown to select a previous version
Or click Reinstall Current to re-download the current version fresh

CLI Rollback

If the web UI is completely broken, SSH in and run:

sudo /opt/easyclaw/webui/bin/rollback.sh

OpenClaw Engine Updates

The OpenClaw Engine section in Settings lets you update the underlying AI engine separately. A backup is created before each upgrade, and you can roll back if needed.

⚠️ OpenClaw updates can occasionally change behavior. easyClaw will warn you, and you can always roll back.

CLI OpenClaw Rollback

sudo /opt/easyclaw/webui/bin/rollback-openclaw.sh

Virtual Memory (Swap)

If your agent runs slowly or crashes under load, you can increase swap space from Settings. Recommended: 2GB for basic tier VPS.
