FAQPage Schema
How do I automate NanoClaw setup and onboarding for a new deployment?

Automating NanoClaw setup involves executing a workflow that handles dependency installation, container runtime selection, authentication configuration, and main channel registration in one pass. The process pauses only for required user actions like creating bot tokens or sending test messages.

What is needed to configure Telegram bot integration and container runtimes during setup?

Configuring Telegram bot integration and container runtimes requires an interactive setup process that prompts for sensitive actions. It validates bot tokens and checks runtime availability to ensure a working NanoClaw instance with background services.

Can I use this setup workflow for existing NanoClaw deployments or is it only for new instances?

The setup workflow applies to new deployments and onboarding scenarios where a user wants a fully configured NanoClaw instance. It is designed for initial configuration rather than updating existing instances.

Does the NanoClaw setup process validate bot tokens and container runtime availability?

Yes, the NanoClaw setup process includes validation of bot tokens and container runtime availability. It applies deterministic setup steps and user prompts for sensitive actions to ensure the environment is correctly configured before completing.

What are the limitations of automating NanoClaw configuration instead of manual setup?

Automating NanoClaw configuration removes manual, repetitive steps but still requires user interaction for sensitive actions. You must manually create bot tokens and send test messages, as the automated workflow pauses for these required inputs rather than bypassing them.
