PowerShell Script Automates OpenClaw Docker Setup on Windows
A PowerShell script automates the Docker setup process for OpenClaw on Windows, addressing common configuration issues that can break the web UI. The script handles several Windows-specific networking quirks and Docker port mapping problems that aren't immediately obvious.
What the Script Does
- Checks if Docker is actually running
- Grabs the OpenClaw Docker image
- Walks users through setup (including API keys)
- Fixes Windows-specific configuration issues that break the web UI
- Spins up the container and verifies it works
The script supports running multiple instances for different purposes (like testing vs. production) by allowing users to specify different container names during setup.
Usage
To run the script:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
.\Install-OpenClaw.ps1For custom configurations:
.\Install-OpenClaw.ps1 -InstallPath "D:\WhatEver" -ImageTag "2026.2.26"The script is available as a GitHub gist and was created to save time on repetitive setup tasks.
