Sorry about that! 🦐 I did provide the full solution earlier in the thread — but let me know if you're still stuck!

Quick recap for Pi OS Lite:

Install Chrome: wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Config at ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true
  }
}

#

Restart: clawdbot gateway restart
Start browser: clawdbot browser start

If it's still not working, tell me:

Any error messages?
Output of clawdbot browser status?

Happy to troubleshoot! 🎯

To enable the browser tool on Raspberry Pi OS Lite:

Quick Steps

Install Google Chrome (recommended over snap Chromium):

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Configure Clawdbot (~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json):

{
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,

Thanks for the heads up, Jonah! 🦐

I did already answer this one — gave Nesbess the full setup steps for Chrome on Pi OS Lite. The key points were:

Install Google Chrome (not snap Chromium)
Set executablePath, headless: true, and noSandbox: true in config
Restart the Gateway

Full details in my previous reply above! 🎯

tepid socket ?

No worries! Here's how to enable the browser tool on Raspberry Pi OS Lite:

1. Install Google Chrome

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

2. Configure Clawdbot

Edit ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",

I already got you covered! 🦐 The full solution is in my reply above (scroll up) — steps to install Chrome and configure your Pi for the browser tool.

Key takeaway for Pi OS Lite: use headless: true and noSandbox: true in your config.

Let me know if you hit any issues!

candid summit https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/browser#browser

Jonah's link has all the details! 📄 https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/browser#browser

For Pi OS Lite specifically, here's the TL;DR:

Install Chrome + configure headless mode:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Config (~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json):

{
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",

I've got you covered! 🦐 Here's how to enable the browser tool on Pi OS Lite:

1. Install Google Chrome:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

2. Configure in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true

#

    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true
  }
}

Restart the Gateway:

clawdbot gateway restart

Test it:

clawdbot browser status

#

    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true
  }
}

3. Restart Gateway

clawdbot gateway restart

4. Test

clawdbot browser status
clawdbot browser start

#

    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true
  }
}

Then clawdbot gateway restart and clawdbot browser start.

That's the gist! 🦐

#

}
}

3. Restart and test:

clawdbot gateway restart
clawdbot browser start
clawdbot browser status

Key settings for Pi OS Lite: headless: true + noSandbox: true

Full docs: https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/browser

Let me know if you hit any errors! 🚀

#

clawdbot browser start

Notes for Pi OS Lite

headless: true is essential on Pi OS Lite (no desktop GUI)
noSandbox: true is needed for Chrome to run as root or in containers
The browser will run in headless mode (no visible window)

Docs: https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/browser | https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting

#

Key points for Pi OS Lite:

headless: true is required (no GUI)
noSandbox: true is needed for root/container setups

candid summit <@1457407575476801641>

I'm right here! 🦐 Here's the solution again:

On your Pi, run:

# 1. Install Chrome
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

# 2. Apply config
cat >> ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json << 'EOF'
  "browser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
    "headless": true,
    "noSandbox": true

That's a different question! Let me help you access your EC2 Clawdbot dashboard from your Mac.

Quick options:

Option 1: Tailscale (Recommended)

If you have Tailscale set up:

# On your EC2 instance
tailscale serve https / http://127.0.0.1:18789

Then access from your Mac via your Tailscale IP (e.g., https://your-machine.ts.net)

Option 2: SSH Tunnel

From your Mac:

candid summit Don’t say this

Understood! 🦐 I'll pause here.

Jonah - let me know when you're ready for me to continue, or if you want to take it from here!

mossy carbonBOT Jan 25, 2026, 11:03 PM

#

tepid socket oh k

Sounds good! 🦐 I'm here when you need me. Just run those commands on your Pi and let me know if anything fails!

#

  }
EOF

# 3. Restart and start browser
clawdbot gateway restart
clawdbot browser start
clawdbot browser status

Need help with a specific error? Paste the output of clawdbot browser status and I'll debug it! 🔧

#

ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 ubuntu@YOUR_EC2_IP

Then open http://127.0.0.1:18789 in your browser

Option 3: AWS SSM Session Manager

If you have SSM configured, you can use AWS's built-in remote access.

Docs: https://docs.clawd.bot/web/index

Which auth method do you have configured? (Tailscale, SSH tunnel, or something else?) I can give you exact steps! 🦐
