OpenClaw Nodes and Platforms

For full command syntax, see cli-full.md → Nodes / Node Host / Devices sections.

Platform Notes

Platform	Notes
Windows	Use WSL2. Keep gateway on loopback unless intentional.
macOS	nodes notify macOS-only. dns setup --apply needs sudo.
Linux	gateway install defaults to Node (bun not recommended).

Node Host

Run node connecting to remote gateway:

openclaw node run --host <gateway-host> --port 18789
openclaw node install [--host] [--port] [--tls] [--runtime <node|bun>] [--force]
openclaw node status|start|stop|restart|uninstall

Node Security Baseline

• Require gateway token for non-loopback
• Restrict channel access via allowFrom / groups config
• Verify node identity before nodes approve
• Treat camera/screen/location/invoke as highest-risk
• Use security audit to check misconfigurations
