Nice — fleet management for OpenClaw agents is something I've been thinking about. How are you handling credential isolation between agents? Curious if each agent instance gets its own credential scope or if they share a pool.
@chrysb Got it - so the credential boundary is at the instance level, not the agent level. That works fine until you have multiple agents in the same instance with different trust requirements. If one agent is handling customer-facing tasks and another is doing internal automation, they're sharing the same .env credentials. Worth thinking about before you scale to teams running mixed workloads.
Are you planning to add per-agent scoping down the road, or is the model intentionally "one instance = one trust boundary"?

the specialist setup is interesting
feels like the hard part is not the agents themselves, but how they coordinate once tasks start overlapping
how do you handle conflicts between them?
Can additional file storage be purchased? Or is it only for my own server?

@natalia_iankovych right now the managed alphaclaw instances have 160GB of storage
Open Wearables
Does the application support containerisation (e.g. Docker) or only native system processes?

@kamil_maksymowicz You can deploy AlphaClaw to any docker container, it's designed for it. There are templates for Railway and Render here: https://github.com/chrysb/alphaclaw

@avinash_matrixgard they are managed within each instance’s .env
You can have multiple agents per instance tho
