Description

Make the OpenClaw gateway accessible from the Matrix (Timmy's frontend) via Tailscale, so it can be embedded as a "portal" or "chat scroll."

Tasks

  1. Verify Tailscale — Confirm Tailscale is running on VPS and accessible from the Mac
  2. Configure gateway binding — Bind OpenClaw gateway to the Tailscale interface (or 0.0.0.0 with auth)
  3. Set up Tailscale Funnel or Serve — Optionally expose via tailscale serve for HTTPS
  4. Test remote access — Access the OpenClaw web UI from another machine on the tailnet
  5. Document the URL — Record the Tailscale URL for use in the Matrix frontend
  6. Security — Ensure auth token is required, no unauthenticated access

Acceptance Criteria

  • OpenClaw web UI accessible via Tailscale URL
  • Auth token required for access
  • URL documented for Matrix integration
  • No ports exposed to the public internet (Tailscale only)

🧹 Closed — Rejected Direction (OpenClaw)

OpenClaw direction was explicitly rejected by the principal. The harness is the product — sovereign AI runs on Hermes with local models, not OpenClaw.

Ref: Deep Backlog Triage #1076. Reopen if needed.
