One-Command Docker Setup for OpenClaw with Full-Disk Encryption and Monitoring
A community-developed Docker setup for OpenClaw that simplifies self-hosting with security and monitoring features built in. The project aims to make deployment secure from the disk up while maintaining simplicity.
Key Features
This setup adds several enhancements to vanilla OpenClaw:
- VPS disk encryption guides for LUKS+Btrfs and ZFS configurations
- Debian Trixie base system for stability with full toolchain
- Tini as PID 1 for proper signal forwarding and no zombie processes
- Data stored as plain files on the host at ~/.openclaw instead of opaque Docker volumes
- Built-in monitoring tools: btop, nload, and iftop pre-installed in the container
Deployment Process
The setup process is designed to be minimal:
git clone https://github.com/congzhangzh/your_openclaw.git && cd your_openclaw
./shellOnce inside the shell, run openclaw onboard to complete setup. The gateway runs continuously in the background after detaching with Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Q.
Project Details
The project is MIT-licensed and hosted on GitHub. The creator is seeking community feedback on several points:
- Which communication channels users prefer (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
- Additional features desired for the Docker setup
- Current approaches to VPS disk security
