Usage Guide
Accessing the Dashboard
You can access the OpenClaw Dashboard using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Secure SSH Tunnel (Recommended)
This method ensures high security by accessing the dashboard through an encrypted SSH tunnel without exposing ports to the public.
- Create Tunnel: Open a terminal on your local computer and run the command displayed in Step 1 (e.g.,
ssh -N -L ...). Click the copy icon to copy the command. - Open Dashboard: Once the tunnel is running, click the link in Step 2 (or the open-in-new-tab icon) to open the dashboard in your browser.
- Note: Do not close the terminal window while using the dashboard.
Method 2: Public Domain Access
Link OpenClaw to a domain for direct access via a web browser.
- Click the Link to Website button.
- Pick an existing website in the Select Existing Website tab and click Link, or create a new website in the Create New Website tab.
- Once linked, click the Access button (open-in-new-tab icon) next to the website to open the dashboard.
- If the browser asks you to log in, use the details in the Basic Auth Authentication section.
- Click Link another Website to link more websites, or Unlink to remove a link.
