Welcome to Nora

[solomon2773]

Welcome to Nora — an Apache-2.0, self-hosted control plane for running OpenClaw and Hermes agent fleets on infrastructure you control.

Nora gives operators one surface to deploy or adopt runtimes, manage lifecycle, inspect logs and files, open terminals and embedded runtime UIs, monitor health and cost, schedule work, manage integrations, and enforce secrets and resource boundaries.

Start here

• Launch the zero-key local Docker demo through the 15-minute quickstart — deploy an OpenClaw demo agent and inspect chat, logs, metrics, terminal access, and lifecycle controls without an external API key or model-usage cost
• Watch the 37-second walkthrough
• Install Nora on Kubernetes with the public Helm chart
• Read the architecture
• See how Nora compares
• Read the latest release

What Nora operates

• OpenClaw and Hermes runtimes
• Docker and Kubernetes deployment targets
• Existing runtimes registered or migrated into the control plane
• Per-agent provider keys, integrations, channels, budgets, schedules, and monitoring
• Public REST API, @noraai/cli, and @noraai/mcp-server automation

Docker and Kubernetes are the GA paths. Remote Docker, the OpenClaw-only NemoClaw sandbox, and Proxmox are explicitly experimental.
