OpenClaw on Raspberry Pi
Guides for running OpenClaw agents on Raspberry Pi hardware, from first boot to long-running deployments. These pages cover the small-computer end of agent work: sensors and cameras, home and network services, self-hosted media and monitoring, industrial and robotics builds, and the storage question every one of them eventually hits, which is where the files an agent produces on a device should live so a person elsewhere can open them. Fast.io fits that last part through workspaces the agent writes to over the REST API, the CLI, or the MCP server.
Most of these builds start the same way, with one Pi doing a single job well, and then grow into something a household or a workshop quietly depends on. The pages assume you can reach a shell and are comfortable editing a config file, and they say up front when a project needs specific hardware. Where an agent produces recordings, logs, or images that matter to someone, they cover getting that data off the device before the card fills up.
