ClawDock
Stop typing docker-compose commands. Just type clawdock-start.
Inspired by Simon Willison's Running OpenClaw in Docker.
Quickstart
Install:
mkdir -p ~/.clawdock && curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Heretek-AI/openclaw/main/scripts/shell-helpers/clawdock-helpers.sh -o ~/.clawdock/clawdock-helpers.sh
echo 'source ~/.clawdock/clawdock-helpers.sh' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
See what you get:
clawdock-help
On first command, ClawDock auto-detects your OpenClaw directory:
- Checks common paths (
~/openclaw,~/workspace/openclaw, etc.) - If found, asks you to confirm
- Saves to
~/.clawdock/config
First time setup:
clawdock-start
clawdock-fix-token
clawdock-dashboard
If you see "pairing required":
clawdock-devices
And approve the request for the specific device:
clawdock-approve <request-id>
