FAQ

Should I install Moltbot/Clawdbot with NPM or Docker?

For beginners, start with NPM for a shorter install/setup path. Use Docker for dependency isolation or multi-instance setups. Production typically prefers Docker Compose for rollbacks and ops.

Is WSL2 recommended on Windows? What if I don't want WSL?

WSL2 improves compatibility. If you avoid WSL, use native Windows NPM install and switch to Docker if dependencies become unstable.

Any macOS / Mac mini (Apple Silicon) considerations?

Use the recommended Node version. If you hit native dependency issues, Docker helps standardize the environment on Apple Silicon.

Minimum security guidance for Linux production?

Use least-privilege runtime, isolate networks, enable audit logging, and store API keys outside repos and images.

Where should API keys live to avoid GitHub leaks?

Use environment variables or a secrets manager. Avoid committing .env or config files and scan before pushing.
