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
- Open DM policy without allowlist → Anyone can message your bot
- No auth token on remote gateway → Exposed to internet
- Model without fallbacks → Single point of failure
- Heartbeat without delivery target → Lost proactive messages
- exec.security: "full" in groups → Dangerous command access
When You're Done
openclaw doctor # Verify config
openclaw status # Check runtime
openclaw health # Gateway health
