Summary

This PR adds Cloud Run Instances as a managed deployment option in docs/install/gcp.md alongside the existing Compute Engine VM guide.

Why Cloud Run Instances for OpenClaw?

  • Serverless & Container-Native: Managed container execution with automated health checks, restarts, and native HTTPS URL generation (https://...run.app) out of the box without manual OS/systemd maintenance or SSH port forwarding.
  • Cloud Storage FUSE Persistence: Workspace, sessions, and SQLite database persist in a Cloud Storage bucket using mount-options="uid=1000;gid=1000;file-mode=0700;dir-mode=0700".
  • Secret Manager Integration: Credentials (OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD, model API keys) are managed securely via Secret Manager rather than plaintext files on disk.
  • Codelab Cross-Reference: Links to the Google Cloud Codelab for users wanting deeper step-by-step guides on Telegram/WhatsApp messaging integrations and gVisor sandbox execution.

Changes

  • Restructured docs/install/gcp.md into Option 1: Cloud Run Instances (Recommended) and Option 2: Compute Engine VM (Docker VM).
  • Preserved all existing Compute Engine VM instructions and troubleshooting sections.
