Mac Mini 24/7 Setup: The Agent Playbook
Turn your Mac Mini into a dedicated 24/7 AI server. Optimized settings, auto-restart, and remote access.
About This Guide
The Mac Mini 24/7 Setup Guide configures your Mac Mini as a dedicated, always-on local AI infrastructure server without subscription cloud costs. macOS Server mode has been discontinued, so this guide uses built-in macOS tools including pmset, launchd, and networksetup to achieve server-grade reliability. The guide covers preventing sleep under all conditions including power failures, setting up SSH access with key-based authentication, enabling automatic restart after power outages, configuring a static local IP address, installing and running Ollama for local LLM inference, and deploying OpenClaw with a launchd service that restarts on crash. You will also learn how to mount an external SSD for model storage and monitor the Mac Mini remotely via SSH tunneling. Estimated setup time is 30-45 minutes. The guide is designed for M1, M2, and M4 Mac Minis running macOS Ventura or later and works with both Apple Silicon and Intel models.
