Ooh this would be great as a custom App.
Have it be a specific part of the automated agents tiny company.

@robi ideal to be run in a container, too. Keep it out of too much trouble!

[robi]

@marcusquinn right, people have been giving this full machines, Mac minis, MBPs, etc.. yet this is perfect for containers and paired with Ollama for local usage too.

Folks on Twitter are exploring all sorts of configurations. Fun to just watch the progress..

I attempted an install in the LAMP app, and it works after a memory adjustment, however my browser terminal keeps resetting before I can complete setup and further testing. Flaky WiFi too ;-/

A few helpful notes if you are attempting this:

After installing the LAMP App, bump the memory past 500MB, otherwise the installer will crash, running out of the default memory setting. 1-2GB should suffice.

Make sure you're in /app/data and set it as the HOME.

cd /app/data
export HOME=/app/data

Then just run the installer script from the website:

curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash

UPDATE 1:
If installing brew, the install.sh script will have to be modified to use /app/data instead of the hardcoded /home/linuxbrew path.

Clawdbot seems viable (and interesting) for Cloudron so I have started packaging ....

WHAT? ...

@timconsidine Significant note on the security advice on this one:

• https://docs.clawd.bot/gateway/security

Needs to be very much locked-down by default, given the capabilities.

[timconsidine]

@marcusquinn yes, critical - looking into 'surfacing' all of that, and exploring whether it is possible to invoke sandboxing out of the box.
But YouTube is overflowing with videos on security issues, may put some in the POSTINSTALL

[marcusquinn]

@timconsidine Yup. At least link to that page in the readme/instructions.

Thank you so much, this bot is really great. Seamless integration with the existing messaging system offers many use cases.
