⁠OpenClaw Gateway - Pre-built Docker Image

This repository provides a pre-built, community-maintained Docker image for the OpenClaw Gateway⁠, the AI-powered assistant platform. The image is automatically built from the latest commit of the official OpenClaw GitHub repository⁠.

This image includes all necessary metadata (EXPOSE, VOLUME, ENV) baked in, making it easy to run and manage through Docker GUIs like Synology Container Manager, Portainer, or the command line.

⁠Quick Start

To get started, run the following command. This will pull the latest image, create the necessary volumes, and start the gateway.

docker run -d --name openclaw-gateway \
  -p 18789:18789 \
  -p 18790:18790 \
  -e OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN="YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN_HERE" \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY_HERE" \
  -v openclaw-config:/home/node/.openclaw \
  -v openclaw-workspace:/home/node/.openclaw/workspace \
  cloudlookup/openclaw:latest

After running the command, the gateway will be accessible at http://<your-docker-host-ip>:18789.

⁠Required Configuration

You must provide the following environment variables:

• OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN: A unique, secret token for securing your gateway. You can generate one with openssl rand -hex 32.
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Your API key from Anthropic for Claude access.

⁠Image Configuration Details

This image is configured with the following settings, which will be visible in your Docker management UI.

⁠Port Mappings

⁠Volume Mappings

Using named volumes is recommended to ensure data persists across container updates.

⁠Environment Variables

These variables are defined in the image. You can override them at runtime using the -e flag.

⁠Tags

This repository provides two tags:

• latest: Always points to the most recent successful build from the main branch of the source repository.
• <version> (e.g., 2026.2.9): A specific version tag, allowing you to pin your deployment to a particular release.

⁠Staying Updated

To update your container to the latest version, run:

# Pull the latest image
docker pull cloudlookup/openclaw:latest

# Stop and remove the old container
docker stop openclaw-gateway
docker rm openclaw-gateway

# Start a new container with the updated image (using the same command as Quick Start)
docker run -d --name openclaw-gateway ...

Because your data is stored in Docker volumes (openclaw-config and openclaw-workspace), it will be automatically picked up by the new container.
