❌ Issue Encountered
Docker Image Pull Failed:
ERROR: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/anthropics/clawdbot/manifests/latest": denied
Root Cause: The Docker image ghcr.io/anthropics/clawdbot:latest is either:
- Private and requires authentication
- Does not exist at this registry path
- Has been moved or renamed
Generated Password
IMPORTANT - SAVE THIS SECURELY:
CLAWDBOT_PASSWORD=N1WmEgpDpenZhbjXvfM3mVzmWv8FT3Yq
This password is already configured in /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/.env on the server.
Next Steps Required
Option 1: Use Correct Docker Image
If you know the correct Clawdbot Docker image name, update the docker-compose.yml:
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo nano /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/docker-compose.yml
# Change the image line to the correct image
sudo systemctl restart clawdbot
Option 2: Authenticate with GitHub Container Registry
If the image is private and requires authentication:
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
# Login to GitHub Container Registry
echo "YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN" | docker login ghcr.io -u YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME --password-stdin
# Pull the image
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
docker-compose pull
sudo systemctl restart clawdbot
Option 3: Use Alternative Clawdbot Installation
If Clawdbot has a different installation method (npm, pip, binary, etc.), the infrastructure is ready:
- Secure firewall configured
- Non-root user created
- Tailscale installed
- All security hardening complete
Tailscale Setup
Tailscale is installed but not authenticated. To complete setup:
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo tailscale up
# Follow the authentication URL provided
Or with an auth key:
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo tailscale up --authkey=tskey-auth-xxxxx
Access Methods (Once Clawdbot is Running)
Method 1: SSH Tunnel
ssh -i popda.pem -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@15.152.217.186
# Then access: http://localhost:3000
Method 2: Tailscale Serve (After Tailscale authentication)
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
sudo ./setup-tailscale-serve.sh
# Access via: https://<hostname>.<tailnet>.ts.net
Health Check
Run the health check script to verify all security settings:
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
./clawdbot-doctor.sh
