Providers

ElasticClaw supports pluggable VM providers. The primary supported provider is Replicated CMX.

Supported Providers

Replicated CMXSupported

Cloud-hosted VM infrastructure via Replicated's Compatibility Matrix (CMX). Recommended for production.

Local (Docker)Experimental

Run agent containers locally using Docker. Good for development and testing.

CustomPlanned

Bring your own VM provider via the provider interface. AWS, GCP, Hetzner, etc.

Replicated CMX Setup

Sign up at vendor.replicated.com
Create an application and navigate to Compatibility Matrix
Generate a CMX API token from your account settings
Note your cluster/app slug

bash

export REPLICATED_API_TOKEN=your-token-here

Configure in hub.yaml:

yaml

provider:
  type: replicated-cmx
  endpoint: https://api.replicated.com
  token: ${REPLICATED_API_TOKEN}
  app_slug: my-elasticclaw-app   # your Replicated app slug

defaults:
  instance_type: r1.small        # CMX instance type
  region: us-east-1
  ttl: 24h                       # auto-destroy after 24 hours

Instance Types (CMX)

Type	CPU	RAM	Use case
`r1.nano`	1	2GB	Lightweight agents
`r1.small`	2	4GB	General purpose
`r1.medium`	4	8GB	Build-heavy workloads
`r1.large`	8	16GB	Data-intensive agents

TTL-based auto-destroy helps control costs. Set a reasonable TTL in your defaults and override per-agent with elasticclaw create --ttl 4h.
