Getting Started: Set Up Your OpenClaw Server on ZentexNode

Congratulations on getting your OpenClaw server with ZentexNode! OpenClaw is a powerful 24/7 personal AI assistant. Here's a step-by-step guide to get it running and configure it your way.

🔑 1. Receive your credentials

When you purchase, you'll get the access details for the ZentexNode Control Panel by email and via a direct message on Discord. Use these credentials to log in to our admin panel.

⚙️ 2. Manage the service in the Panel

From your server console in the admin panel, you control the basic functions:

• Stop, Start and Restart: Manage your assistant's run state.
• Variable Configuration (API Keys): In the panel's Startup section, you can set the API keys for the models you want to use (such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, etc.). Just enter your API key in the matching field and restart the server.

🌐 3. Access the OpenClaw Dashboard

To configure your assistant in more depth, you can access its own web admin panel (Dashboard):

• Dashboard IP: Copy the IP address shown at the top left of your server in the Pterodactyl panel.
• Port: OpenClaw comes preconfigured to listen on your assigned port.
• Access: Open your browser and go to your server's IP (e.g. http://IP:PORT).
• Default password: The default password to access the OpenClaw dashboard is changeme123.

🔒 4. Change the Dashboard password

For security reasons, we recommend changing the default password as soon as possible. You can do it directly from the Startup section of your server in the ZentexNode Panel by editing the OPENCLAW_PASSWORD variable and restarting your server.
