Why Docker for OpenClaw setup?

Docker gives isolation, cleaner rollbacks, and lower blast radius if something breaks.

What should I connect first?

Start with low-risk read-only integrations and observe behavior before granting write access.

Isolation, portability, and easier recovery. It’s not perfect security, but it’s a better baseline than raw host installs.

Docker, one model API key with spend limits, and a test-first mindset.

1) run container, 2) start with read-only integrations, 3) monitor logs daily, 4) grant write permissions only after stable behavior.

Primary inbox, financial accounts, admin consoles, and anything with irreversible write actions.

If behavior is weird, reduce integrations, inspect logs, and verify model/tool permissions before changing prompts.
