When trying to restart openclaw on umbrel , my browser window slowly flicks as starting openclaw ( please wait this may take a moment) is on the screen, Anyone having this issue and resolved it or have any ideas on solutions. Can supply logs if needed
I don’t have any experience with OpenClaw on Umbrel, but the logs might be helpful. Just look throught them before posting to make sure there isn’t anything sensitive in there (replace anything that you aren’t sure about)
IP addresses would be one of the security items, anythings else I need to worry about
Sytem has been running fairly well , a few disconnects, but would come back on line fairly quickly , but the last time it went down , when trying to restart the screen show restarting , please wait, the browser window continually flickers but does not start, I seen this a few times but after a few flicks it would start up
I have stopped the openclaw service and restarted it as well as umbrel but no luck restarting
Yes, anything that looks like a key or password (any long random strings of characters). I’m not sure what might be in there, so play it safe and when in doubt, cut it out.
The log strongly hints that something related to an invalid configuration for SMTP (an email-related protocol) is the problem. Did you do any recent work on your OpenClaw instance related to emails?
yes , was in the process of adding a gmail acct, and had given the ai agent the keys for that account and earlier had added agentmail but it was fine after that install
Found some possible fixes online , like these command , npm cache clean --force
npm install -g openclaw
Are these fixes
I assume those would require getting a shell into the OpenClaw container. Have you figured that out? If so, I would recommend working with an LLM to try and fix the /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json config file first. In particular, if you can find a key:value pair containing the word “smtp”, then removing whatever it is part of might get OpenClaw back up and running again. If you can find that part of the config, post it here (removing any SMTP passwords if present first), I might be able to help you edit the broken part out.
I don’t know enough about OpenClaw to know what those commands would do (I assume it would be very painful if you were to factory reset on accident).
