⚠️ Security Warning: OpenClaw grants AI full system access ⚠️

🛑 STOP! Are You Ready?

OpenClaw is NOT a toy. It's a tool for engineers. You must check ALL items to proceed.

This Isn't For Me

Docker Installation

RECOMMENDED

Isolated environment for safer operation.

Quick Start

# Pull and run official image
docker run -d \
  --name openclaw \
  -p 18789:18789 \
  -v ~/.openclaw:/root/.openclaw \
  ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest

Docker Compose (Production)

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
  openclaw:
    image: ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
    container_name: openclaw
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '127.0.0.1:18789:18789'  # Bind to localhost only!
    volumes:
      - ~/.openclaw:/root/.openclaw
    environment:
      - OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_BIND=0.0.0.0

⚠️ Volume Persistence

The ~/.openclaw volume stores:

  • WhatsApp session (QR code auth)
  • API keys and tokens
  • Conversation history

If you don't mount this volume, you'll need to re-authenticate after every restart!
