How can we do the onboard command in CLI?
Seems like way too many things require CLI
Like how can I change LLM provider after the first step?
Struggling big time to use a Claude subscription instead of API
Yeah, I have API for different provider but can’t use it even though I followed instructions by creating openclaw.json inside .openclaw folder, it doesn’t work on Umbrel, there is .openclaw folder but for some reason it doesn’t read OpenClaw.json at all, after restarting the app.
Was wondering if anyone has actually had any success running openclaw on umbrel? Please advise.

No…I have been trying to make it work. Unfortunately, all seems set up, but the bot sends me empty messages.

Tried this?
sudo docker exec -it openclaw_gateway_1 openclaw status
I’m in the same situation as you
Thanks! I tried and it returns a big error:
gateway connect failed: Error: unauthorized: gateway token mismatch (set gateway.remote.token to match gateway.auth.token)
I chatted a lot with Gemini trying to find a fix (matching the tokens, executing all kinds of commands), and it never really worked.
I wonder if there is something inherently broken in the OpenClaw version for Umbrel..I guess this is the version on GitHub, right: GitHub - getumbrel/openclaw-umbrel. Maybe I should write a new issue there explaining the problem and hope the contributor reply and address it.

also wondering if anybody had any succes with it yet
I’m running into the same issue on my end. I’ve been trying to get it to work for a while now with no luck. I think opening a GitHub issue is the next logical step… hopefully, we can get an explanation or a fix soon
Hey! anyone fixed it? I still have “infinite bouncing dots” with local ollama setup…

Hi guys,
I’m also new to this whole OpenClaw topic and just joined the community while looking for a solution to this exact problem. After some trial and error, I finally managed to get everything running successfully on my UmbrelOS setup using two Docker containers: one for Ollama (local) and one for OpenClaw.
I’ll put together a proper tutorial soon to walk you through the steps.
Here are some screenshots attached:

its working for me, just the browser integration i cant get to work not even with headless
Seems like there is a bug with the Umbrel OpenClaw onboarding where you never get the Choose API dialog. The logs will say relay some error along the lines of exit code 1.
To work around this you can get into the Umbrel Console, not the App console in docker, login with the umbrel user and you password.
type
sudo docker exec -it openclaw_gateway_1 openclaw onboard
This will start the cli onboarding process. You can skip most of it till you get to the Dashboard ready. Your dashboard will have a http://120.0.0.1:18789/#token….
This is the Umbrel Docker local web server link. Now you can go to umbrel.local web page and launch OpenClaw, the dashboard will appear, and you can configure the rest there. More config steps, but it gets you around the broken App onboarding.
I think it’s broken for non-standard Umbrel installs. I am running on a x86 AMD CPU.
I want a local LLM but I would only be able to run on 16Gb VRAM. I need something like 32Gb or 48Gb to run a smart enough model. Just wish I had 10k USD lying around to pick up enough GPU(s). I will use open router to poke around and give birth to my lobster at home.
yes had it working for about 10 days. All worked bar brower functionality. I just lost connection to my OC due to OAuth disconnection. Need to use Termainl to get it to work again but termnail comands arent working.
