OpenClaw Dashboard: The Ultimate Setup Guide (2026)

OpenClaw is the open-source AI agent framework that gives you full control over your autonomous agents. But running OpenClaw from the command line gets old fast. In this guide, you will set up a full-featured dashboard using Agentus Console — the GUI that OpenClaw deserves.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a modular, self-hosted AI agent runtime. It handles memory, tool execution, scheduling, and multi-model orchestration out of the box. Think of it as the operating system for your AI agent.

While OpenClaw is powerful, it was designed as a backend framework. You need a dashboard to manage it effectively — and that is where Agentus Console comes in.

Step 1: Install OpenClaw

If you have not already installed OpenClaw, clone the repo and run the setup script:

git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys
docker compose up -d

Verify it is running by checking the health endpoint at localhost:3100/health.

Step 2: Connect Cloudflare Tunnel

Agentus Console needs to reach your OpenClaw instance over the internet. The safest way is through a Cloudflare Tunnel — no port forwarding required.

# Install cloudflared
curl -L https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 -o cloudflared
chmod +x cloudflared

# Create tunnel
./cloudflared tunnel create openclaw-tunnel
./cloudflared tunnel route dns openclaw-tunnel gateway.yourdomain.com

# Run tunnel
./cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3100 run openclaw-tunnel

Step 3: Sign Up for Agentus Console

Head to agentusconsole.com/signup and create your free account. No credit card required.

Step 4: Enter Your Gateway URL and Token

In the Console settings, add your Cloudflare Tunnel URL (e.g., https://gateway.yourdomain.com) and paste the API token from your OpenClaw .env file. The console will verify the connection automatically.

Step 5: Enable Your First Module

Navigate to the Modules tab and enable your first module. We recommend starting with System Monitor — it gives you immediate visibility into your agent's health and performance.

From there, explore the full module library: content pipelines, trading intelligence, social media automation, and more. Each module can be enabled with a single click.

You Are Live

That is it. You now have a fully functional OpenClaw dashboard powered by Agentus Console. Get started free and take control of your AI agent today.
