February 4Feb 4 U can usenode dist/index.jsinstead of the openclaw command for everything. So dont useopenclaw onboardin the console, but use:node dist/index.js onboardLooks like all commands work this way.
February 4Feb 4 Great work! The template seems to be lacking the field for a Venice.AI api key. I like to support privacy respecting companies. Thanks!
February 4Feb 4 Hi there, been able to run and have fun with first instance, but now I want to create a second one and I can't understand how the port mapping works. 18789 is already taken so I try to use 18790 and different arrangements in the 3 fields that let me put a port. Any help welcome. Thanks :)
February 5Feb 5 Was able to make it work Web ui: http://[IP]:[PORT:18790]/Control UI Port: 18790Gateway Port: 18689 <keep original> Been able to run two like this. Thanks for all the work
February 5Feb 5 For some reason I still can't install skills from the web ui using brew. [ws] ⇄ res ✗ skills.install 14767ms errorCode=UNAVAILABLE errorMessage=Install failed (exit 1): Error: summarize: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build. conn=a5eec973…0231 id=af2e3c10…a4f5
February 5Feb 5 Has anyone a working config to use the Google Antigravity Oauth?I have activated the Plugin but how do i get to log into my google account now? Edited February 5Feb 5 by DUFRelic
February 5Feb 5 You could log in on other device using the login command at: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/model-providers#google-vertex-antigravity-and-gemini-cli, then copy the .openclaw/credentials/google-antigravity.token.json file to your Unraid OpenClaw Installation.
February 5Feb 5 hey, i installed it today and configured my ollama to give it a model (before the first start).if someone is interested:edit the /mnt/user/appdata/openclaw/config/openclaw.jsonreplace the ip (YOUR_OLLAMA_HOST_IP) to your host and your preferred model ("id":) "models": { "providers": { "ollama": { "baseUrl": "http://YOUR_OLLAMA_HOST_IP:11434/v1", "apiKey": "ollama-local", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [ { "id": "ministral-3:14b-instruct-2512-q8_0", "name": "Ministral 3 14B Instruct", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 32768, "maxTokens": 81920 } ] } } }, But the typical onboading I saw in some videos did not happen and therefore the personality is not used / configured.I connected to the container (docker exec -it OpenClaw bash) and executed node dist/index.js onboardit recognized my model and i skipped everything else, then i chose "Hatch in TUI (recommended)" then follows the output:Wake up, my friend! (no output) (no output) connected | idle agent main | session main (openclaw-tui) | ollama/ministral-3:14b-instruct-2512-q8_0 | tokens 4.1k/33k (13%) But on the dashboard is just a typical ai-greeting text and when i ask it has no access to its filesystem and its IDENDITY.md SOUL.md etc.So I guess my assistant isn't working properly? Do i need to configure a special workspace for my model?
February 5Feb 5 has anyone managed to get browser functions to work? I would like to use my local searxng instance, but I don't know how to get it's own function to work, I would like to avoid braves api one.
February 6Feb 6 I am trying to set up gog for google and the auth url it wants me to use doesn't work since its not from the same instance, is there a work around for this?

Even on box in Ubuntu it doesn't know how to run the snapd version of Chromium.

February 6Feb 6 Why cant we use the openclaw-cli command in docker container?From OpenClaw website it seems it supposed to be availablehttps://docs.openclaw.ai/install/docker*Edit*I've changed the post arguments to this, and now its workingsh -c "mkdir -p /root/.openclaw /home/linuxbrew; [ -s /root/.openclaw/openclaw.json ] || echo '{\"gateway\":{\"mode\":\"local\",\"bind\":\"lan\",\"controlUi\":{\"allowInsecureAuth\":true},\"auth\":{\"mode\":\"token\"}}}' > /root/.openclaw/openclaw.json; echo 'alias openclaw-cli=\"node dist/index.js\"' >> ~/.bashrc; exec node dist/index.js gateway --bind lan" Edited February 6Feb 6 by iBuSH

February 9Feb 9 I see this now appearsa in CA.What location are people choosing for the worlspace? Default seems to be within the appdata open claw folder but is that the best place for it? Just thought I'd see what others are doing
