🔐 Critical Information
Generated Password (SAVE THIS!)
CLAWDBOT_PASSWORD=N1WmEgpDpenZhbjXvfM3mVzmWv8FT3Yq
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This password is already configured on the server at /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/.env
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
Option 1: Use Fix Script (Recommended)
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/fix-docker-image.sh
The interactive script will help you:
- Update to a different Docker image
- Authenticate with GitHub Container Registry
- Test image pull
- 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
Run Health Check
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
./clawdbot-doctor.sh
Check Service Status
# Clawdbot service
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo systemctl status clawdbot"
# Docker containers
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "docker ps -a"
# View logs
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "docker logs clawdbot -f"
Check Security Services
# UFW Firewall
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo ufw status verbose"
# Fail2ban
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo fail2ban-client status sshd"

🎓 Best Practices
- Regular Updates: The system will auto-update security patches, but check monthly
- Monitor Logs: Review logs weekly for any suspicious activity
- Backup Configuration: Backup
/home/clawdbot/clawdbot/.envsecurely - Password Rotation: Consider rotating the Clawdbot password quarterly
- Fail2ban Review: Check banned IPs monthly:
sudo fail2ban-client status sshd - Health Checks: Run
clawdbot-doctor.shweekly - Disk Space: Monitor disk usage, especially logs directory
- Tailscale Updates: Keep Tailscale updated:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade tailscale
