OpenClaw is so bad with Docker. I spent hours on it and hit road block after road block trying to get the most basic things working. The last one was inability to install dependencies on the docker container to enable plugins. The existing scripts and instructions don’t work (at least I couldn’t get them to work. Maybe a me problem). So I gave up and moved on. What was supposed to be a helpful assistant became a nightmare.

Why not use a VM?

  Because I have a machine running dozens of apps on Docker and have a solid and stable workflow I want to take advantage of to manage my apps.

Same experience. I used Coolify and it was so hard. I wondered why people are so enthralled with this unacceptable UX for setup, only to realize no one cared about Docker and they just got a new Mac mini or used their own system.

Did you try Incus? Gives you VM-like experience in a container

Absolutely this. I finally got it working, but the instructions and scripts for setting it up with Docker absolutely do not work.

I’m not an engineer and now I realise why I’ve been struggling getting OpenClaw setup in docker. I just can’t get it to work. Makes sense that it needs access to the underlying OS
