[Wed 2026-03-04 00:10 UTC] We have a VM accessible via SSH claw@192.168.122.11
Password is: xxxx
OpenClaw is installed and I want you to setup this machine to suse litellm endpoint with the following API key: sk-l6Zg9xhXHovLXm3cArAFMg
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] I can do this, but I’m missing one required value: the **LiteLLM base URL**.

I SSH’d in and checked the machine:
- OpenClaw data is under `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/`
- It’s currently configured for `zai` models, not LiteLLM
- There is **no local LiteLLM proxy** on `127.0.0.1:4000` right now

To finish setup, send me:
1) **LiteLLM endpoint URL** (example: `http://<host>:4000` or `https://litellm.example.com`)  
2) (Optional but recommended) the **default model id** you want OpenClaw to use via LiteLLM (example: `gpt-4o`, `claude-opus-4-1`, etc.)

Once you send that, I’ll apply config + key securely and restart/verify.

```

[Wed 2026-03-04 00:14 UTC] It's the same endpoint we use for you
assistant: Got it — I’ll use the same LiteLLM endpoint as this host and apply it now on that VM.
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Done — I applied it on the VM using the same LiteLLM endpoint this host uses.

### What I changed on `192.168.122.11`
- Updated `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
- Set LiteLLM provider:
  - `baseUrl`: `http://192.168.153.113:18804/v1`
  - `apiKey`: `${LITELLM_API_KEY}` (not hardcoded in provider section)
  - `api`: `openai-completions`
- Set `env.vars.LITELLM_API_KEY` to the key you provided
- Switched default model to:
  - `agents.defaults.model.primary = litellm/gpt-4o`
- Added minimal LiteLLM model entries (`gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-mini`)
- Created backup before edit:
  - `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak.manual.<timestamp>`

### Verification
- Confirmed LiteLLM endpoint is reachable from VM and returns models (`49` models found).
- Confirmed config now shows:
  - primary model: `litellm/gpt-4o`
  - LiteLLM URL and provider config in place.

If you want, next I can also switch it to `openai-responses` mode and sync a fuller model catalog (like your main box), but this current setup is valid and operational.
