I’m looking to run OpenClaw on my homelab. Has anyone successfully got it running with Docker? I followed the Docker instructions on their website, got Ollama running with a lightweight model, but couldn’t get the openclaw dashboard working.
I was hoping to have it everyday, look through the hundreds of job alert emails I get, and output a list of jobs for me to apply for. It’ll compare my resume to the listing, check the age of the listing, etc.
I know it’s highly susceptible to prompt injection, but if I have it in a container, with a email made specifically for OpenClaw I’m hoping it will be relatively safe?


It appears the image runs as a non root user at least… You can drop unnecessary capabilities https://oneuptime.com/blog/post/2026-01-16-docker-drop-capabilities/view
You can also add firewall redfrictions to container to only allow it to connect to services you want to limit injection attacks.
This would help, but still could be open to a lot of security problems I’d imagine.
