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?


To work it needs local access (like scan your emails), otherwise what’s the point of it… I suggest to read this blog post

Yup. Forget running this.
