Server Access

# SSH into server
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186

# SSH with port forwarding (for Clawdbot access)
ssh -i popda.pem -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@15.152.217.186

🛠️ Quick Fix for Docker Image Issue

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/fix-docker-image.sh

The interactive script will help you:

  1. Update to a different Docker image
  2. Authenticate with GitHub Container Registry
  3. Test image pull
  4. View current configuration

Option 2: Manual Fix - Update Image

If you know the correct image name:

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo nano /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/docker-compose.yml
# Change: image: ghcr.io/anthropics/clawdbot:latest
# To:     image: <correct-image-name>
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
sudo -u clawdbot docker-compose pull
sudo systemctl restart clawdbot

Option 3: Manual Fix - Authenticate with GHCR

If the image is private:

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
echo "YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN" | docker login ghcr.io -u YOUR_USERNAME --password-stdin
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
sudo -u clawdbot docker-compose pull
sudo systemctl restart clawdbot

🌐 Tailscale Setup

Authenticate Tailscale

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo tailscale up
# Follow the authentication URL provided

Enable Tailscale Serve (After Authentication)

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
sudo ./setup-tailscale-serve.sh

Then access Clawdbot at: https://<hostname>.<tailnet>.ts.net


🔍 Health Check & Monitoring

🔧 Troubleshooting

Clawdbot Won't Start

# Check service status
sudo systemctl status clawdbot

# Check Docker logs
docker logs clawdbot

# Check Docker Compose config
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
docker-compose config

# Restart service
sudo systemctl restart clawdbot

Can't Access via SSH Tunnel

# Verify port forwarding
ssh -i popda.pem -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@15.152.217.186

# Check if Clawdbot is listening
netstat -tuln | grep 3000

# Check Docker port mapping
docker ps | grep clawdbot

Tailscale Issues

# Check Tailscale status
sudo tailscale status

# Re-authenticate
sudo tailscale up

# Check Tailscale IP
sudo tailscale ip -4

Firewall Issues

# Check UFW status
sudo ufw status verbose

# Check UFW logs
sudo tail -f /var/log/ufw.log

# Temporarily disable (NOT RECOMMENDED)
sudo ufw disable

  3. Backup Configuration: Backup /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/.env securely
  4. Password Rotation: Consider rotating the Clawdbot password quarterly
  5. Fail2ban Review: Check banned IPs monthly: sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
  6. Health Checks: Run clawdbot-doctor.sh weekly
  7. Disk Space: Monitor disk usage, especially logs directory
  8. Tailscale Updates: Keep Tailscale updated: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade tailscale
