Install — Standalone

Install the dashboard as a standalone service, independent of OpenClaw.

Prerequisites

Install

git clone https://github.com/pgedeon/openclaw-project-webos.git /opt/openclaw-project-webos
cd /opt/openclaw-project-webos
npm install
cp .env.example .env

Database Setup

# Create database
createdb openclaw_dashboard

# Apply schema and migrations
psql -U postgres -d openclaw_dashboard -f schema/openclaw-dashboard.sql
for f in schema/migrations/*.sql; do
  psql -U postgres -d openclaw_dashboard -f "$f"
done

Configure

Edit .env:

PORT=3876
STORAGE_TYPE=postgres
POSTGRES_HOST=127.0.0.1
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_DB=openclaw_dashboard

Without OpenClaw, some features will be unavailable:

The core dashboard, task management, workflows, and cron monitoring all work independently.
