Caution

Run onboarding inside the CLI container

Starts the OpenClaw quickstart onboarding from the Docker CLI container instead of from the host machine.

docker compose exec openclaw-cli openclaw onboard --flow quickstart

What it does

Starts the OpenClaw quickstart onboarding from the Docker CLI container instead of from the host machine.

When to use it

Use it after the Docker environment is already up and you want to finish first-time setup in the containerized workflow.

What happens next

Docker opens a shell process inside `openclaw-cli` and runs the onboarding command there, so configuration is written to the Docker-managed environment.

Risk warning

Caution. It changes the OpenClaw state inside your Docker setup, so make sure you are working in the correct project directory and container stack.
