OpenClaw Docker Setup

⚠️ Security Considerations

This skill involves elevated privileges and credential management. Review before running:

sudo operations — All Docker setup commands require elevated trust. Review references/docker-setup.sh before executing.
Tailscale remote access — Enables network access to your OpenClaw instance. Ensure your Tailscale network policy allows this and review your firewall rules.
Credential mounting — Mounting ~/.config/gh or other credential directories into containers exposes them to the container image. Only do this if you fully trust the image source.
Host file exposure — Volume mounts give containers access to host files. Be careful which directories you mount and which containers you run.

Run OpenClaw inside Docker on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04+) with Tailscale for remote access.
