openshell sandbox create --forward 18789 --from openclaw -- openclaw-startopenclaw-start is a helper script pre-installed in the sandbox that runs the
onboarding wizard, starts the gateway as a background daemon, and prints the
access URL.
The CLI returns automatically once the script finishes; the port forward continues running in the background.
Once the command completes, the gateway is accessible locally:
- Control UI: http://127.0.0.1:18789/
- Health check:
openclaw health
Note: you will need use the auth token present in the bootstrapping process to connect to the endpoint.

nohup openclaw gateway run > /tmp/gateway.log 2>&1 &
exit
