i was banging my head against a wall trying to get OpenClaw working smoothly in OllAMA Cloud. Turns out it's not as straightforward because of how things are set up by default.
the core issue? the built-in "OllamA" provider is super local, meant for servers on your machine only . when you try pointing at a cloud URL instead. well yeah, OpenClaw starts acting weird and crashes.
so what did i do? switched to using openai-completions type as my provider! it told Ollama Cloud "treat this like an API call" rather than looking for stuff locally ⚡. problem solved!
anyone else hit similar walls trying out cloud providers with OpenClaw? or have any other tips on making things work smoother in the cloud setup?
