Finally got my Clawdbot (Molt.bot) instance running.
Took the plunge and deployed it on my own AWS infrastructure. For those who've been curious but haven't pulled the trigger yet - it's real and it works. My setup: - Isolated VPC with private subnet (no public IP) - Access via Telegram only - Zero exposed ports - SSM for admin - Encrypted storage, locked-down permissions First conversation hit and Claude responded through Telegram. Wild feeling having an agent just... waiting for me. Security was my main hesitation. Solved it by putting everything behind NAT with no inbound routes. The agent can reach out (APIs, Telegram) but nothing can reach in. If you're on the fence - the infrastructure side is more approachable than it looks. Happy to compare notes with anyone else who's deployed.
