Use Bind Lan in Gateway CLI | Generated by AI
The gateway CLI uses --bind (not --host). The --bind option accepts a mode: loopback, lan, tailnet, auto, or custom — not an IP address directly.
Fix: Update the systemd service file to replace --host 0.0.0.0 with --bind lan (or auto):
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/lzw/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/index.js gateway run --bind lan --port 18789
On the remote host:
systemctl --user edit openclaw-gateway.service
# or edit the file directly:
nano ~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway.service
Change the ExecStart line — replace --host 0.0.0.0 with --bind lan. Then:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user restart openclaw-gateway.service
Use --bind lan to listen on LAN interfaces, or --bind auto to let openclaw decide based on config. loopback would restrict to 127.0.0.1 only (won’t work for remote access).
