+# Moltbot on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse
+
+## Goal
+
+Run a persistent Moltbot Gateway on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse.
+
+Tencent Cloud Lighthouse is a lightweight VPS product, ideal for small applications and personal projects:
+
+- Simple pricing with bundled bandwidth
+- Quick deployment with pre-configured images
+- Good global connectivity
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Tencent Cloud account ([signup](https://www.tencentcloud.com/account/register))
+- ~10 minutes
+
+## 1) Create a Lighthouse Instance
+
+Go to the [Lighthouse purchase page](https://buy.tencentcloud.com/lighthouse), select the following configuration, or click [**Quick Link**](https://buy.tencentcloud.com/lighthouse?blueprintType=APP_OS&blueprintOfficialId=lhbp-8hq35xoy&regionId=15&zone=na-siliconvalley-1&bundleId=bundle_rs_nmc_lin_med2_01&loginSet=AUTO&rule=true&from=Moltbot) to get started directly.
+
+Configuration:
+- **App creation method**: App Template > AI Agent > Moltbot
+- **Region**: Prefer overseas regions such as Silicon Valley, Virginia, Singapore, etc.
+- **Plan**:
+  - **Plan type**: Razor Speed Type (recommended), Starter Type, or General Type
+  - **Plan specs**: 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM or above
+- **Server name, login method**: Configure as needed
+
+Click **Buy Now**. Once created, note the public IP address.
+
+## 2) Connect to the Server
+
+Go to the [Lighthouse Console](https://console.tencentcloud.com/lighthouse) to view your newly purchased Moltbot instance. Click the **Login** button to open the Web login tool (OrcaTerm). Select **ubuntu** as the login user, choose **Passwordless Login**, and click **Login**.
+
+## 3) Initialize Moltbot
+
+Moltbot is pre-installed in the app image. After logging in, run the following command to initialize:
+
+```bash
+moltbot onboard
+```
+
+Follow the prompts to complete the initialization.
+
+## 4) Verify
+
+```bash
+# Check version
+moltbot --version
+
+# Check daemon status
+systemctl --user status moltbot-gateway
+
+# Test local response
+curl http://localhost:18789
+```
+
+## 5) Configure Firewall (Security Group)
+
+1. Go to **Lighthouse Console** → Select your instance → **Firewall**
+2. Configure rules:
+   - **Allow**: TCP 22 (SSH)
+   - **Allow**: TCP 18789 (Gateway) - if external access is needed
+
+---
+
+## Access the Control UI
+
+Access via public IP:
+
+```
+http://YOUR_PUBLIC_IP:18789/
+```
+
+If the Gateway is bound to LAN or public, you can access it directly via browser.
+
+---
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+### Recommended Measures
+
+- **Credential permissions**: `chmod 700 ~/.moltbot`
+- **Security audit**: `moltbot security audit`
+- **System updates**: Regularly run `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`
+- **Use token auth**: `moltbot config set gateway.auth.mode token`
+
+### Verify Security Status
+
+```bash
+# View listening ports
+sudo ss -tlnp
+
+# Check gateway status
+moltbot gateway status
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Cannot connect via SSH
+Check security group rules:
+- Ensure port 22 is open for your IP
+- Verify the public IP address is correct
+- Check if the instance is running
+
+### Gateway won't start
+```bash
+moltbot gateway status
+moltbot doctor --non-interactive
+journalctl --user -u moltbot-gateway -n 50
+```
+
+### Can't reach Control UI
+```bash
+# Check if gateway is listening
+curl http://localhost:18789
+
+# Restart if needed
+systemctl --user restart moltbot-gateway
+```
+
+### Bandwidth limits
+Tencent Cloud Lighthouse has bundled bandwidth. If you hit limits:
+- Upgrade to a higher tier
+- Monitor bandwidth usage in the console
+
+---
+
+## Persistence
+
+All state lives in:
+- `~/.moltbot/` — config, credentials, session data
+- `~/clawd/` — workspace (SOUL.md, memory, artifacts)
+
+Back up periodically:
+```bash
+tar -czvf moltbot-backup.tar.gz ~/.moltbot ~/clawd
+```
+
