Quick Start

Run OpenClaw with a single command:

$docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key openclaw/openclaw:latest

Recommended: Docker Compose

For persistent data and easier configuration, use Docker Compose:

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.8'
services:
  openclaw:
    image: openclaw/openclaw:latest
    container_name: openclaw
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./config:/app/config
    environment:
      - ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
      # Or use OpenAI:
      # - OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Then run:

$docker-compose up -d
