That error is just “you’re not root, but you’re trying to do a global npm install into /usr/local/...”.

In most Node Docker images (and in a lot of OpenClaw containers) you’re running as the node user, so npm i -g mcporter can’t create /usr/local/lib/node_modules/....

Pick one of these fixes:

Option A (common in Dockerfiles): install as root, then drop back to node

USER root
RUN npm install -g mcporter
USER node

Option B (better if you want to stay non-root): change npm’s global prefix to a writable dir

USER node
# 
RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.npm-global
ENV NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/home/node/.npm-global
ENV PATH=/home/node/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

RUN npm install -g mcporter

Option C (if you’re using pnpm in the container)

RUN corepack enable
USER node
ENV PNPM_HOME=/home/node/.local/share/pnpm
ENV PATH=$PNPM_HOME:$PATH
RUN pnpm add -g mcporter
#

If you paste:

  • the Dockerfile (or the exact docker run ... / docker compose.yml), and
  • the output of whoami + node -v + npm -v

…I can point to the cleanest option for your image setup.

how do i do openclaw gateway restart when i use docker

cobalt auroraBOT
#

In Docker you usually don’t run openclaw gateway restart on the host — you restart the gateway container.

If you’re using Docker Compose (OpenClaw docs default)

  1. See the service/container name:
docker compose ps
  1. Restart the gateway service (often called openclaw-gateway):
docker compose restart openclaw-gateway
  1. Watch logs to confirm it came back:
docker compose logs -f openclaw-gateway
#

If you started it with plain docker run

docker ps
docker restart <container_name_or_id>
docker logs -f <container_name_or_id>

If you paste your docker compose ps output (just the service names), I can tell you the exact docker compose restart ... line for your setup.

Your tools.profile: "messaging" is what’s limiting you right now.

If you want everything enabled except group:web (web_search, web_fetch) and group:ui (browser, canvas), set the tools config like this:

"tools": {
"profile": "full", // or just remove "profile" entirely
"deny": ["group:web", "group:ui"]
}

That’s it — “full” removes the base allowlist restriction, and deny blocks just those groups (deny always wins).

Then restart the gateway container (since config changes require a restart):

  • Compose: docker compose restart openclaw-gateway
  • Or whichever service name your compose file uses.
