Run MineCraft on CLAWCLOUD for free

Alan Miao — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 12:49:01 +0000

1. Quick Start

Search for "Minecraft" on the App Store to create a new Minecraft application.
If you prefer a gameplay experience closer to vanilla, use the default PAPER type, or select your desired ModLoader (e.g., Forge or Fabric). Don’t worry—these configurations can be modified later.

After creation, your Minecraft application will start running. Pay attention to two key details:

The application ID in the top-left corner. In this guide, the ID is minecraft-ghidzagg.
The port number (the digits between : and /TCP) in the bottom-right corner. In this guide, the port is 31076. Note: If following this tutorial, remember to replace the example ID with your own.

Once you’ve noted these details, click the Details button under the App Launched section to access the application details.

1.2. Assigning a Domain to the Application

In the App Launchpad, you’ll see detailed information about the application container.
To assign a publicly accessible domain to your Minecraft server, click the Manage Network button in the Network card.

Click Enable Internet Access to receive a randomly assigned domain. You’ll use this domain to access your server. If you want to use a custom domain, refer to this documentation.
After configuration, click Update to restart the application.

Once restarted, check the Public Address in the Network card. This is the domain for connecting to your server. Use the copy button to save it.

1.3. Connecting to the Server

In Section 1.1, we obtained the port 31076. In Section 1.2, we got the domain https://ywaiqihgopcn.ap-southeast-1.clawcloudrun.com.

Combine these to form the server address: ywaiqihgopcn.ap-southeast-1.clawcloudrun.com:31076.

Launch Minecraft, go to Multiplayer > Add Server, and enter the address above.

After confirming the server status, join it. Ensure your game version matches the server’s.

Happy gaming! For more configurations, see below.

2. Advanced Settings

2.1. Configuring ModLoader and Mods

Before installing mods, first identify the required ModLoader. Common options include Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, etc., depending on your mod’s requirements.
Below, we’ll use Mystical Agriculture Mod with NeoForge 1.21.1 as an example.

In the App Launchpad, select your application and click Advanced Configuration. Under the Environment Variables card, click Manage.

On the next page, click Add in the Environment Variables card.
Modify the variables to match your desired version. The final result should be:

TYPE=NEOFORGE  
VERSION=1.21.1

For details on Minecraft environment variables (e.g., online verification, resource packs), refer to this documentation.

Save the changes, restart the application, and return to the details page.

In the Pod List, click the file manager icon to access the file system.

Navigate to the data/mods folder and upload your mod files. Since Mystical Agriculture requires Cucumber Mod, upload both. After uploading, click Restart in the Pod List (or restart the app).

Add the same mods to your Minecraft launcher, then launch the game and connect to the server.
- If the server fails to start (e.g., due to ModLoader conflicts, missing dependencies, or mod incompatibilities), click the Log button in the Pod List to troubleshoot.

Launch the game and test your new mods! 🎮

2.2. Interacting with the Server Terminal

In some cases, you may need to interact with the server terminal for quick management tasks, such as granting admin privileges or teleporting players. To do this, you’ll need to modify the application configuration via the terminal.

Click the terminal icon and wait for initialization.
Replace the application ID: Remember the application ID obtained in Section 1.1? In this example, the ID is minecraft-ghidzagg—replace it with your own during setup.

Edit the StatefulSet: In the terminal, run:

kubectl edit sts minecraft-ghidzagg

Use arrow keys to navigate or type /volumeMounts: and press Enter to jump to the volumeMounts: line.

Modify the configuration

Press a to enter edit mode.
Add the following lines under **volumeMounts:** (ensure correct indentation):

     stdin: true  
     tty: true

Press ESC to exit edit mode, then type :wq and press Enter to save.
You’ll see a confirmation: statefulset.apps/minecraft-ghidzagg edited.

root@(ns-zl072e84) ~$ kubectl attach -it minecraft-ghidzagg-0
Warning: Use tokens from the TokenRequest API or manually created secret-based tokens instead of auto-generated secret-based tokens.
Defaulted container "minecraft-ghidzagg" out of: minecraft-ghidzagg, take-data-dir-ownership (init)
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.

How to Upgrade the n8n Version on ClawCloud Run?

Alan Miao — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 12:47:15 +0000

Introduction

We've noticed many ClawCloud Run users asking how to upgrade the n8n version installed from the APP Store on platforms like Question and other external forums. So, we've put together this guide to help answer that question.

If you're looking to upgrade n8n’s configurations like CPU, memory, and storage, please check out this post: How to Upgrade n8n Configurations.

Version Upgrade Process

Access the Update Panel

In your app's details page, click the "Update" button at the top-right corner to enter configuration edit mode. [View Guide]

Update the Image Name

As shown in the image, the current Image Name is n8nio/n8n:1.95.3. To update to the latest version (at the time of writing), change it to n8nio/n8n:1.100.1. Simply update the Image Name.

Save and Restart the Service

After confirming your changes, click "Update" in the top-right corner. The platform will automatically restart the service to apply the new configuration.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully updated the n8n version on ClawCloud Run. However, don't feel pressured to immediately jump to the latest version unless it includes important security fixes.

One-Click Ghost Deployment on Clawcloud Run Build a blazing-fast personal publishing platform for $0/month

Alan Miao — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 05:54:13 +0000

Overview

Ghost is an open-source, headless CMS built on Node.js. Its minimalist editor, strong SEO defaults, and vibrant theme ecosystem make it a favorite among writers and indie publishers. Pair that with Clawcloud Run’s perpetual $5/month container credit and App Store one-click installs, and spinning up a production-ready Ghost instance takes just a few minutes.
This guide shows you how to get Ghost live on Clawcloud Run, then covers key tweaks and common pitfalls.

1. Why Clawcloud Run + Ghost?

Clawcloud Run highlights

No-cost launch – Every GitHub-verified account gets $5 in monthly credits forever; no credit card needed.
Generous specs – Up to 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM and 10 Gbps bandwidth—plenty for a high-traffic blog or newsletter.
Click-and-go UX – A built-in App Store and Docker image catalog; perfect for both first-timers and seasoned devs.

Ghost advantages

Writer-centric UI – Distraction-free Markdown editor with live preview.
SEO out of the box – Automatic structured data, clean URLs, built-in AMP support.
Extensible – Hundreds of themes and integrations for email, memberships, payments and more (see ghost.org/docs for APIs and theme docs).

2. Deploying Ghost in Three Steps

1. Sign up for Clawcloud Run

Head to https://console.run.claw.cloud, log in with GitHub (accounts >180 days old get the ongoing free tier). Pick the region closest to your audience—five are available.

2. Launch from the App Store

Open App Store in the left sidebar and search Ghost.
Click Deploy App. In roughly 3–5 minutes the container status flips to Running.
Open the temporary URL provided; the Ghost setup wizard should appear. If it does, you’re up.

3. Attach a custom domain + HTTPS

In the container page, open Public Address → Add Domain and create a CNAME record at your DNS host (disable Cloudflare orange-cloud until DNS propagates).
Clawcloud automatically issues a free Let’s Encrypt cert; allow 3–5 minutes for it to activate.

3. Level-Up Your Ghost Blog

3.1 First-run tasks

Create the admin account and set site name/URL.
Install a theme from the Ghost Marketplace or upload your own ZIP.
Add integrations—Google Analytics, Disqus, etc.—via the Code Injection settings or custom config.

3.2 Performance & security

Database swap – Ghost ships with SQLite. For production, point it at MySQL by setting database__client=mysql database__connection__host=<host> database__connection__user=<user> database__connection__password=<pass> database__connection__database=<db> in the container’s environment variables. Clawcloud’s managed MySQL service works well.
Keep Ghost updated—ghost update inside the container or redeploy the latest image. See the Ghost Updates & Versions doc for details.

4. Wrapping Up

With Clawcloud Run’s forever-free credit and Ghost’s streamlined publishing workflow, you can launch a high-performance blog or newsletter in an afternoon—no bills, no server admin headaches. If you hit snags (SSL delays, DNS caching, image version mismatches), most are solved quickly by double-checking env vars (url, DB creds) or skimming the official Ghost docs at https://ghost.org/docs/.

Fire up that container and start publishing. Your audience is waiting.

Nextcloud on Clawcloud: Your Private Cloud in 5 Minutes

Alan Miao — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 03:33:18 +0000

Why Bother Setting Up Your Own Cloud?

Every team has been there:

The marketing team shares a link to assets — three days later, it’s expired, just before a client meeting.
Sensitive files live on a public cloud — and you’re never sure who’s actually looking at them.
Someone overwrites a document and now no one can find the previous version.
You take a screenshot for a reimbursement — and get served an eerily relevant ad the next day.

Nextcloud helps solve all of that. It’s like having your own OneDrive + Teams, but with full control over where and how your data is stored.

Why Nextcloud?

I've been using Nextcloud for three years. Here’s what makes it worth it:

All-in-One File Manager Sync photos, collaborate on documents, edit spreadsheets — all hosted on your own server.
Extend as You Go Need video calls? Add the Talk app. Project management? Enable Deck. It’s modular, just like your phone’s app store.
No Surprise Costs No subscriptions. No upsells. Just your hardware — that’s it.

How Easy Is It to Set Up on Clawcloud?

I helped a small accounting firm deploy it yesterday. Total time: 4.5 minutes.

Step 1: Log in

Head to Clawcloud Run and log in with your GitHub account.

Step 2: Find the App

Search for “Nextcloud” in the App Store.
Click the official template.

Step 3: Launch Deployment

Review the settings — the defaults work just fine.
Hit the blue Deploy button.
Wait about three minutes (coffee time).
Visit your new instance at something like nextcloud-1234.run.claw.cloud.

A Few Setup Tips

When you first log in, a setup wizard appears. Keep these in mind:

Admin Account Avoid simple passwords like admin/test. Go with a strong mix of letters and numbers.
Storage Option Choose SQLite under “Storage & Database” — it’s lightweight and perfect for small teams.
Custom Domain Under “Public Address,” enter your own domain name if you have one.

Real-World Use Case

Here’s how one of our clients — an accounting firm — uses it:

Feature	Use Case	Benefit
Collaborative Docs	Multi-person audit reports	Cut version confusion by 80%
Shared Calendar	Scheduling client meetings	Eliminated double-bookings
Auto Photo Backup	Upload receipts on the go	Sped up reimbursements by 2 days
Two-Factor Auth	Added layer for financial files	Zero security incidents since

Maintenance Tips

A few lessons we learned the hard way:

Storage Expansion Mount extra cloud storage in container settings: Host /data/nextcloud → Container /var/www/html/data
Backups Run a simple weekly job: tar -zcvf backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz /data/nextcloud
Security Hardening
- Set IP allowlist in the console firewall
- Enable login lockout after failed attempts

Why Not Just Use a Public Cloud?

One client asked why we didn’t just stick with something like Dropbox or Baidu Netdisk. Here's the breakdown:

Comparison	Public Cloud Storage	Nextcloud on Clawcloud
File Ownership	Provider can scan files	100% under your control
Storage Limits	Free tier capped at 10GB	Expand as needed
Feature Flexibility	Fixed toolset	Add apps as you grow
Long-term Cost	Recurring subscription	One-time hardware cost
