Summary

openclaw

What it is: A Node.js-based multi-channel bot agent framework (similar to Hermes Agent), installed globally.

Field	Detail
Package	`openclaw@2026.5.12` — global npm install
Binary	`/home/lzw/.npm-global/bin/openclaw`
Install	`/home/lzw/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/`
Config dir	`~/.openclaw/` (home directory, `~512KB total`)
Config file	`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
Workspace	`~/.openclaw/workspace/` (28 dirs)
Channels	Telegram (default), Nextcloud Talk, WhatsApp, WeChat (`openclaw-weixin`)
Extensions	`@openclaw/nextcloud-talk`, `@tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin`
Runtime	Node.js v25.8.1

Status: The Telegram channel is in a crash-loop. Logs at /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-2026-07-09.log (~3.5MB) show:

fetch timeout — getMe to api.telegram.org timing out at 10s repeatedly
UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT — DNS resolves but IP unreachable
Auto-restart attempts (1/10, 2/10, …) keep failing
Transport backoff: 10s → 20s → 40s unhealthy mark window
No successful connection in the last 24h of logs

Root cause: Likely a proxy/firewall blocking Telegram API on this machine. The bot token is present but can’t reach Telegram’s servers to poll/getUpdates.

Also referenced in your config:

~/ww/ww/config/openclaw.json — your ww tool has an embedded openclaw config pointing to the same workspace
~/projects/config/openclaw/openclaw.json — another config variant

myopia-reversal-app

Location: /home/lzw/.openclaw/workspace/myopia-reversal-app/

Output recommended near-vision prescription
Unit toggle: Asian (degrees) vs Western (Diopters)
Language: English / Chinese (bilingual toggle)
Dark/light theme toggle

Routes:

Path	Target	Type
`/`	`/var/www/html/`	Static files
`/todo/`	`/var/www/html/todo/`	Static files
`/myopia/`	`/home/lzw/.openclaw/workspace/myopia-reversal-app/`	Just added
`/movies/`	`/home/lzw/qDownloads/`	Directory listing

Other: /etc/nginx/conf.d/pincc-proxy.conf — reverse proxy on port 8742 → v2-as.pincc.ai (Claude Code API proxy with hardcoded auth token sk-8a2...ea7f and spoofed client headers)

Status: nginx -t passed, reloaded successfully, curl http://localhost/myopia/ → 200

To open in browser: http://<workstation-ip>/myopia/ or http://localhost/myopia/ if on the workstation.
