Summary

Adds a comprehensive guide for running Clawdbot on DigitalOcean, the most beginner-friendly VPS option.

What's included

  • Cost comparison table — Oracle (free), Hetzner ($4), DigitalOcean ($6), Vultr ($6), Linode ($5)
  • Step-by-step setup — Droplet creation through channel connection
  • 1GB RAM optimizations — Swap setup, memory tips
  • Dashboard access — SSH tunnel and Tailscale options
  • Oracle Cloud Free Tier section — Documents the actually-free option (4 OCPU / 24GB ARM)

Why this matters

  • Many users ask in Discord about the cheapest way to run Clawdbot
  • The existing Hetzner guide is great but some users prefer DigitalOcean's UI
  • Cost comparison helps users make informed decisions
  • Oracle Free Tier is often overlooked

Checklist

  • Follows existing docs structure (matches hetzner.md format)
  • Includes frontmatter with summary/read_when
  • Tested commands work on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Links to related guides (Hetzner, Docker, Tailscale)
