Reddit OpenClaw (quick answers)

Reddit threads are great for opinions — but setup succeeds when you can verify via logs. Here’s the short, reliable path.

The only debug loop that matters

openclaw gateway status
openclaw logs --follow

If you can’t see events in logs, fix delivery/config before touching prompts or models.

Common questions

  • Do I need a Mac mini? No. Any always‑on box works. A small VPS works too.
  • Why doesn’t it reply? Check logs, then Telegram setup/mentions.
  • Is it safe? It can be, but treat it like a service with credentials.
