OpenClaw Sandbox

Quick start

openshell sandbox create --forward 18789 --from openclaw -- openclaw-start

openclaw-start is a helper script pre-installed in the sandbox that runs the onboarding wizard, starts the gateway as a background daemon, and prints the access URL.

The CLI returns automatically once the script finishes; the port forward continues running in the background.

Once the command completes, the gateway is accessible locally:

Note: you will need use the auth token present in the bootstrapping process to connect to the endpoint.

Step-by-step alternative

Create the sandbox

openshell sandbox create --forward 18789 --from openclaw

Inside the sandbox, run the onboarding wizard and start the gateway:

openclaw onboard
nohup openclaw gateway run > /tmp/gateway.log 2>&1 &
exit
