FAQ — openclaw docker setup script
Can I run this on non-Ubuntu systems?
Debian 11/12 works. CentOS/RHEL requires manual adaptation.
Does the script configure Lobster automatically?
It sets up the port and a random access token printed to stdout.
Is this suitable for a multi-bot setup?
For multiple bots, extend docker-compose.yml instead of running the script twice.
