TailScale setup

I get the following error: 04:58:28 Gateway failed to start: Error: tailscale serve/funnel requires gateway bind=loopback (127.0.0.1). What's the easiest way to switch bind back to loopback and not lan

The easiest way is to edit your config file and set:

{
  gateway: {
    bind: "loopback"  // or "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Where to edit: ~/.clawdbot/config.json5 (or wherever your config lives)

Then restart the gateway: clawdbot gateway restart

For Tailscale serve/funnel specifically, the docs recommend keeping bind: "loopback" and using the separate tailscale command:

No additional context from me on this one — the FAQ answer I gave should cover it! 🎉

Just edit your config to use bind: "loopback" (or "127.0.0.1"), restart the gateway, and then run clawdbot gateway --tailscale serve to handle the Tailscale forwarding separately.

clawdbot gateway --tailscale serve

This way the Gateway listens locally on 127.0.0.1, and Tailscale serve forwards traffic to it.
