Infomaniak VPS · Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Inside the
AI Powered
VPS.

A deliberately compact infrastructure: one public gateway, isolated applications, a protected system disk and heavy data placed on a dedicated volume.

01 / Architecture

A short path, with clear roles.

Public traffic stops at Caddy. Marco, the OpenClaw agent, stays on loopback under its own Linux account without sudo. A constrained root broker publishes only validated projects.

02 / Capacity

Two disks, two distinct jobs.

Linux does not balance volumes automatically. The smaller system disk holds the OS; the data volume absorbs Marco's state, projects, published releases and rollback evidence.

PROVISIONED ALLOCATION

270 GiB split across two volumes.

The data disk holds most of the capacity so projects and application state can grow without filling the system. The chart shows provisioned capacity, not current utilisation.

The Marco service and every published application verify the data volume identity. If it is missing, they fail safely.

03 / Services

A small inventory, clearly defined.

Every retained service has an explicit purpose. Historical applications and routes without confirmed use were removed, with recovery evidence kept off the system disk.

04 / Security

The public surface fits on four ports.

The guest firewall is active for IPv4 and IPv6. Private applications are not published directly. Marco has no sudo: only controlled deployment operations cross a dedicated root-owned socket.

  • Key-only SSH; root and password login disabled
  • Automatic TLS, HSTS, CSP and unknown-host rejection
  • OpenClaw secrets referenced from protected files
  • Separate Marco account with no sudo, adm, docker or lxd
  • Zero updates pending at the last verified check

05 / Evolution

From experimental VPS to a healthy foundation.

The server keeps its flexibility, but responsibilities are now separated, obsolete components removed, and every significant operation documented with a recovery path.

  1. 01

    System creation

    Ubuntu 24.04 on a 20 GiB OpenStack/KVM VPS.

  2. 02

    Data volume

    Addition of the 250 GiB disk and the first application workloads.

  3. 03

    Full audit

    Mapping storage, services, websites and network exposure.

  4. 04

    Marco takes its role

    Unified Caddy edge, separate non-sudo OpenClaw agent, guarded deployments and Docker stopped.

06 / Compared with the VPS image

What was added — and why.

EDGE

Caddy + TLS

One web entry point, automated certificates and explicit host rules.

DATA

250 GiB volume

Large data and runtimes moved away from the system disk.

AI

Marco / OpenClaw

Private gateway, dedicated identity and strict Telegram policy.

SEC

Least privilege

UFW, key-only SSH, non-sudo Marco and a constrained deployment broker.

Reference state

Stable. Documented. Recoverable.
