What is Cloudways Integration?
The Cloudways Integration is a powerful extension designed for OpenClaw that bridges the gap between local development environments and Cloudways hosting infrastructure. It provides a unified Control UI and backend gateway for managing server-level master SSH/SFTP credentials, application-level secrets, and WordPress review metadata. By centralizing these operations within Openclaw Skills, developers can interact with their hosting environment securely and efficiently.
This integration focuses heavily on security by leveraging a vault-backed storage system. Instead of storing sensitive API keys or database passwords in plain text configuration files, it utilizes encrypted storage for account authentication and application secrets. This makes it an essential tool for developers who need to manage complex cloud environments while maintaining strict security standards.
Cloudways Integration Use Cases
- Synchronizing server and application inventory from the Cloudways API to local development tools.
- Managing WordPress site review flows by deriving necessary metadata for local code editing.
- Securely storing and accessing server-level master SSH and app-level DB secrets via a vault.
- Executing read-only SQL queries or guarded write operations with mandatory confirmation and audit logging.
- Testing SSH and DB Manager connectivity directly through the Openclaw Skills interface.
How Cloudways Integration Works
- The system authenticates with the Cloudways API using vault-stored credentials to ensure session security.
- It fetches the full server inventory and flattens application data to provide a searchable, actionable list of hosting assets.
- Gateway methods handle requests for credentials, falling back from application-specific SSH keys to server master keys where necessary.
- For database tasks, the skill provides a restricted SQL execution environment that blocks DDL and multi-statement queries.
- All write operations triggered via the integration require a specific confirmation phrase and are logged locally for audit purposes.
Cloudways Integration Setup
To get started with this integration in your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Obtain your Cloudways API key and account email from the Cloudways Platform console.
- Open the OpenClaw Control UI to input your credentials; these will be validated before being stored in the secure vault.
- Configure your server-level master SSH/SFTP credentials to enable remote access features.
- Verify your inventory by running the synchronization command to populate your application list.
# Note: Avoid manual editing of ~/.openclaw/secrets.json
# Use the Control UI to trigger cloudways.save and cloudways.status methods
Cloudways Integration Data Schema & Taxonomy
The integration manages data across the vault, API cache, and workspace configuration:
| Component | Storage Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Account Auth | Vault-backed | Encrypted API key and email |
| Inventory | API Cache | Flattened server and application metadata |
| App Secrets | Vault-backed | WordPress admin, SSH, and DB credentials |
| Audit Logs | Local File | Record of all write-based SQL statements |
| UI State | Config JSON | Non-sensitive identifiers for servers and apps |
Cloudways Integration Advanced Features
- Multi-layer credential inheritance allowing apps to use server-level SSH keys automatically.
- Guarded SQL gateway that strictly enforces read-only access unless explicit write confirmation is provided.
- Automatic WordPress review metadata derivation to speed up remote debugging and theme editing.
- Seamless integration with other Openclaw Skills for end-to-end automation from local code to live cloud servers.
- Vault-protected secret management that prevents accidental exposure of hosting credentials in version control.
