OpenClaw Deployment Guide: Hetzner + Tailscale + Discord + Zapier MCP
Practical guide to running OpenClaw on Hetzner Cloud (~€6/month) with Tailscale for network isolation and Discord as the chat interface. Covers dedicated SSH keys, Tailscale ACLs (infra nodes cant connect to each other), Hetzner firewall blocking all public inbound, Zapier MCP for secure personal data access, and why Discord is safer than WhatsApp for channel selection. Why we added it: Real deployment at real cost — shows you dont need a Mac Mini for a secure OpenClaw setup.
