How to Migrate OpenClaw and Hermes Between Machines Using SSH Self-Migration
A Reddit user reports successfully transferring both Hermes and OpenClaw from a WSL2 Ubuntu laptop to an EVO-X2 running WSL2 Ubuntu 2604. The key insight: they instructed both tools to SSH into the new machine, plan their own migration, execute it, and verify.
How the Migration Worked
- Self-driven migration: The user asked both Hermes and OpenClaw to SSH into the new EVO-X2 instance, figure out how to migrate themselves, plan, migrate, and verify.
- Minimal intervention: As long as the tools stuck to the plan, they completed the transfer with almost no engineer guidance.
Key Observations
- Platform: Source machine: WSL2 Ubuntu laptop. Destination: EVO-X2 WSL2 Ubuntu 2604 instance.
- Autonomy: The AI coding agents were capable of performing the entire migration autonomously after receiving high-level instructions.
