LNVPS

Provision and manage VPS instances on LNVPS.net with Bitcoin Lightning payments.

Quick Start

1. Create Account

Navigate to https://lnvps.net, click "Sign In" → "Create Account". No email required—just a display name. NSEC generated automatically—save it immediately to ~/.openclaw/lnvps-nsec.

2. Browse and Buy VPS

Option A: Manual browsing Visit https://lnvps.net/plans — the Small plan (2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB SSD) should be sufficient for most agent workloads.

Option B: Automated browsing with Playwright Use browser automation to navigate LNVPS:

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch()
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://lnvps.net/plans")
    # Select Small plan, configure options
    browser.close()

Order steps:

1. •Select the Small plan (2GB RAM)
2. •Select OS (Ubuntu 24.04 recommended)
3. •Add SSH key: cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
4. •Click "Create Order"
5. •Select payment: Lightning (BTC), LNURL (BTC), or Revolut

3. Pay with Lightning

Get invoice from the order page (format: lnbc...).

Pay with any Lightning wallet — copy the invoice and pay. The VM will provision automatically after payment confirms.
