Already on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Lightweight Application Server Users deployed on OpenClaw want to upgrade to the latest version while retaining important data (such as memories, skills, etc.).

1. Cur quare OpenClaw renovare?

OpenClaw is currently in a phase of rapid iteration, continuously releasing new features, fixing issues, and optimizing plugin support and IM channel integration experience. Older versions may lack these improvements, so it is recommended to upgrade to the latest version promptly.

2. Praeparatio Magni Momenti Ante Renovationem

2.1 Confirm Deployment Environment

Ensure that OpenClaw is running normally and can access the corresponding instance through the Lighthouse console.

2.2 Determine if an update is needed

  • In OpenClaw Application Management Panel Check if it appears One-click Update Button。
    👉 If it appears, it means an update is currently available.
OpenClaw Console “Update Notification” Button

3. Duae viae ad OpenClaw renovandum

Nunc duobus modis OpenClaw renovari potest:

Modus I: Renovatio unius clavis (commendatur)

Haec est simplicissima et tutissima renovatio, sine systematis reinstallatione.

Processus:

  1. Login Lighthouse console → Go to OpenClaw instance details.
  2. Find in the management interface “One-click update” button.
  3. Click update and confirm the prompt popup.
    ⚠️ Attention: The update process may require 5–10 minutes。
  4. Wait for the update to complete automatically and refresh the interface.

❗ After the update Channel configurations will be cleared，but models, skills, and memories will not be lost.
👉 Post update completion Reconfigure channel connections (e.g., WeChat Work, QQ, etc.)。

One-click update button and update progress status

Quaeso nota

If the one-click update fails multiple times, it is recommended to refer to the “Manual Update” method described later to complete the update.

After starting the update, you can hover the mouse over the indicated position to view the update progress:

Postquam renovatio completa est, pugillus configurationis unius clavis renovatio puga dissidet, et tunc ad sequentes gradus procedere potes.

Method Two: Manual Update

You can also through Reinstall the system Modo, ut applicationis exemplar OpenClaw, quod in levi applicationis servitore Lighthouse nunc collocatum est, ad recentissimam versionem renovetur. Attamen notandum est: systematis reinstallation omnia data in disco servitoris purgabit, quapropter ante reinstallationem, necesse est ut data OpenClaw, sicut memoriae, in tuto reponantur, ut post reinstallationem facile restitui possint.

Step 1: Download the OpenClaw memory to local

Nota:Si putas memoriam praesentem OpenClaw non esse conservandam, hunc gradum praeterire potes et directe ad systema reinstalandum procedere.

OpenClaw's memory is somewhat similar to save files in a game; some can be cleared at any time, while others are very precious. Therefore, we recommend that you save these memories before reinstalling and reinject them after the reinstallation is complete, allowing the memories to “reincarnate” into the new environment.

Typically, your OpenClaw saves valuable memories in two locations:

  • Daily records:memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • Long-term memory:MEMORY.md(Si habet)

Haec documenta una cum contentis ut Skills etc., omnia in instantia intra workspace repositorium servantur. Quare ante reinstallationem, propositum nostrum est: per Lighthouse administratio documentorum functionem, totum workspace repositorium primum in localem computatrum descargare.

Hint

Si spatium tuum operandi magnitudinem superat 500MB, consilium est ut inspicias Indicem Transmissionis Documentorum, per modum magis aptum pro magnis documentis transmittere.

  1. Inscribe in tabularium Lighthouse, ingredere paginam particularum instantiae OpenClaw.
  2. Inveni et ingredere administratio documentorum pagina:
  3. In the path input box at the top of the page, paste the following path and press Enter:/root/.openclaw/
  4. Check workspace folder, click the Download button on the file management page. Lighthouse will automatically workspace Compress and package, then download it to your local computer via a browser. Please keep this compressed file safe, as it will be needed for memory recovery later.

Step 2: Upgrade the application template version by reinstalling the system

This section will guide you through completing in Lighthouse Reinstall the system, thereby completing the upgrade of the OpenClaw application template.

Quaeso nota

During the reinstallation process, the system will automatically shut down forcibly; after reinstallation is complete, all data on the instance's system disk will be cleared and restored to its initial state. This operation is irreversible, so please proceed with caution!

  1. Enter the Lighthouse instance list or instance details page, find and click through “···” or “More Actions” Reinstall the system, enter the reinstall system page:
  1. On the reinstall system page, select in order:Application Template > AI Agent > OpenClaw, login credentials can temporarily choose “Set after reinstall”.
  1. Scroll down the page, select the backup option based on the actual situation:Hic fundatur in facultate snapshot Lighthouse ad tergum redigere, omnia data systematis disci instantis in momento quodam integre conservabit. Si postea restituere necesse est, instans ad statum eius snapshot creandi reducetur.It is usually recommended to choose Rursus installa postquam exemplar securum fecisti., maximē cūrā ut data in praesenti exemplari recuperari possint. Si iam confirmāvistī praesentia data omnīnō abiecta esse, etiam potes optare No backup required, reinstall directly。
  2. At the bottom of the page, check “Confirm that you have understood the above content”, click Confirm. Wait a moment, when the instance status changes back to Running When it appears, it means the reinstallation is complete.

After the reinstallation is complete, go to the instance's Firewall configuration page to check if port 18789 is open.

Step Three: Restore memory for OpenClaw

Hint

Si spatium tuum operandi magnitudinem superat 500MB, consilium est ut inspicias Indicem Transmissionis Documentorum, use a more suitable method for uploading large files.

  1. Login Lighthouse console, Enter Server Details Page administratio documentorum Tab, in the path input box, enter:
/root/.openclaw/
  1. Position to workspace Folder, check then click Dele, purgare spatium operis vacuum vel praedefinitum:
  1. Reverte ad computatrum domesticum, primum extrahe archivum compressum workspace, quod in gradu “Memoriam OpenClaw in computatrum domesticum descargare” servatum est:
  1. Return to the Lighthouse file management page, select Upload > Upload Folder，upload the previously extracted workspace folder to /root/.openclaw/ directory:
  1. After uploading, go to the OpenClaw application management page, click Restart Button to reload workspace for the gateway:

Step Four: Verify Memory Recovery Effect

Post operationem completam, potes redire ad fenestram sessionis in usu (hic exempli gratia cum QQ Bot), quaerere quaestionem de memoria, et verificare si OpenClaw post reinstallationem memoriam priorem feliciter “hereditavit.”
