Common Questions

Can I change the AI model after deployment?

Yes. SSH into your server and edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Update the agents.defaults.model.primary field, then restart: sudo systemctl restart openclaw

How do I update OpenClaw?

SSH into your server and run: sudo npm install -g openclaw && sudo systemctl restart openclaw

How do I access the OpenClaw dashboard?

Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:18789 in your browser. You'll need the gateway token from your deployment.

Who can message my bot?

By default, your bot accepts messages from anyone in DMs. In groups, it only responds when @mentioned. You can restrict access by SSH-ing into your server and changing dmPolicy to "allowlist" in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
