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:

  1. Private and requires authentication
  2. Does not exist at this registry path
  3. 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

Troubleshooting Commands

# Check Docker status
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "docker ps -a"

# Check systemd service
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo systemctl status clawdbot"

# Check UFW status
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo ufw status verbose"

# Check Fail2ban status
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo fail2ban-client status sshd"

# Check Tailscale status
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "sudo tailscale status"

# View Docker logs (once container is running)
ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186 "docker logs clawdbot -f"

Uninstall Instructions

Complete removal instructions are available on the server at: /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/UNINSTALL.md

Quick uninstall:

ssh -i popda.pem ubuntu@15.152.217.186
sudo systemctl stop clawdbot
sudo systemctl disable clawdbot
cd /home/clawdbot/clawdbot
docker-compose down -v
sudo userdel -r clawdbot
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/clawdbot.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Recommendations

  1. Verify Clawdbot Docker Image: Confirm the correct image name/registry
  2. Authenticate Tailscale: Run sudo tailscale up for secure remote access
  3. Test SSH Tunnel: Verify you can access via SSH tunnel before deploying
  4. Run Health Check: Execute clawdbot-doctor.sh after Clawdbot starts
  5. Backup Password: Store the generated password in a secure password manager
  6. Monitor Logs: Check /home/clawdbot/clawdbot/logs/ regularly
  7. Review Fail2ban: Check sudo fail2ban-client status sshd periodically
