Description


name: Setup description: Configure OpenClaw installations with optimized settings, channel setup, security hardening, and production recommendations.

Quick Reference

Task Load
Messaging channels (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, etc.) channels.md
Agent settings, models, workspaces agents.md
Security, auth, DM policies, allowlists security.md
Tools: exec, browser, web, media tools.md
Cron, hooks, heartbeats, automation automation.md
Recommendations by use case recommendations.md
Memory search, embeddings, QMD memory.md

First Setup Checklist

Before any config, run:

openclaw onboard --install-daemon  # Full wizard
openclaw doctor                    # Check issues

Minimum viable config:

  • At least one channel connected (Telegram recommended for testing)
  • Model configured (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI)
  • Workspace path set (agents.defaults.workspace)
  • Owner allowlist configured (your user ID in channels.*.allowFrom)

Config Locations

File Purpose
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json Main config
~/.openclaw/.env Environment variables
~/.openclaw/workspace/ Default workspace
~/.openclaw/sessions/ Session storage

Hot reload: Most settings apply instantly. Gateway settings (port, TLS) require restart.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Open DM policy without allowlist → Anyone can message your bot
  2. No auth token on remote gateway → Exposed to internet
  3. Model without fallbacks → Single point of failure
  4. Heartbeat without delivery target → Lost proactive messages
  5. exec.security: "full" in groups → Dangerous command access

When You're Done

openclaw doctor       # Verify config
openclaw status       # Check runtime
openclaw health       # Gateway health
