FAQPage Schema
How do I debug container agent authentication errors in NanoClaw deployments?

Debug authentication errors by verifying permissions, checking environment configurations, and ensuring correct HOME paths for container agents. This process inspects session persistence and MCP-server initialization to resolve access failures securely.

Why does my container agent fail to spawn or resume sessions?

Container agents fail to spawn due to incorrect environment variables, broken mounts, or improper session handling. Inspect logs and enforce checks for session persistence and permissions to identify and resolve the startup failure.

How do I diagnose container-to-host IPC or file-mount failures?

Diagnose container-to-host IPC and file-mount failures by inspecting mount configurations and verifying environment variables. Checking permissions and correct HOME paths ensures reliable agent operation across deployments.

What is the best way to inspect container agent logs and environment configurations?

Inspect container agent logs and environment configurations by running the container in debug mode. This provides a guided step-by-step process to review env vars, mounts, and session data for troubleshooting.

Can I use this debugging approach for broken data mounts in containerized agents?

Yes, you can troubleshoot broken data mounts by applying checks for permissions and correct mount configurations. Inspecting logs and environment variables helps identify and fix file-mount failures securely.

When should I check MCP-server initialization to resolve container agent issues?

Check MCP-server initialization when experiencing container spawn problems or authentication errors. Enforcing initialization checks ensures secure, reliable agent operation and resolves common deployment failures.
