Secure installation isn't the main problem with OpenClaw. This project doesn't seem to be solving a real problem. Of course the real problem is giving an LLM access to everything and hoping for the best.

While I don't have OpenClaw installed and not sure how I 'd use it I doubt all the hype around it is because it doesn't solve a real problem. The project grew to huge popularity organically!!! How can that happen if it doesn't serve a need people have?

Compare NFTs. For them, it depends a bit on whether you see scratching a gambling itch as a real problem.

what about just using an unprivileged container and mounting a host folder to run open claw?

OpenClaw is so bad with Docker. I spent hours on it and hit road block after road block trying to get the most basic things working. The last one was inability to install dependencies on the docker container to enable plugins. The existing scripts and instructions don’t work (at least I couldn’t get them to work. Maybe a me problem). So I gave up and moved on. What was supposed to be a helpful assistant became a nigh…

Why not use a VM?

Same experience. I used Coolify and it was so hard. I wondered why people are so enthralled with this unacceptable UX for setup, only to realize no one cared about Docker and they just got a new Mac mini or used their own system.

It’s impressive someone early in their career shipped this. There seems to be a stark increase in high-quality AI/data projects from early-career engineers lately and I'm super curious what’s driving that (and honestly speaking: a little jealous).

because the floor is fucking insane for junior developers right now!!

Running OpenClaw is the nerd equivalent of rolling coal

I'm trying to put together what you could possibly mean by this -- rolling coal is fundamentally about spite. In isolation, nobody _wants_ their vehicle to spew black smoke. It only comes close to making sense in the context of another population (EV owners, typically, or more generally "the libs"). OpenClaw lets people live a bit dangerously, but fundamentally gives them something that they actually wanted. They wan…

It is possible that they don't understand the risks involved, but yes, it certainly is tapping into unmet need.

Maybe let me ask this question: How is this any different from NFT?

NFTs can't delete your mails.

Did you try Incus? Gives you VM-like experience in a container

I found this part interesting: "Inference requests from the agent never leave the sandbox directly. OpenShell intercepts every call and routes it to the NVIDIA cloud provider." Seems like they are doing this to become the default compute provider for the easiest way to set up OpenClaw. If it works out, it could drive a decent amount of consumer inference revenue their way
