It does not need access to your full machine. It can literally run in a vps.
replyMost of the people using it probably don't even know what SSH is, let alone using a VPS to maintain a personal bot for them for years with no maintenance. They know Vercel and Supabase. They will run it on their local machine and just keep clicking yes to everything until they get the result they want.
replyThat is not how the software works.. I take it you have no first hand knowledge with this stack? This isn't a double click the exe and you are off the races. The hostinger vps is actually the easiest way for a normie to get this running.
replyThe thing is that if you want it to do useful things, you kinda have to give it access to some of your accounts.
replyThis is not true. It is useful without having access to a single account of mine. My setup runs on its own accounts and hardware. Obviously it is not sending out emails from my inbox, but that is not a usecase of any value to me. And if it was, there are actually plenty of ways to do that safely as well.
replyIf you think you need to give it the keys to your kingdoom to be useful, you are not actually experimenting with this stack but regurgitating the words of others. I really don't understand the mindset of comments like this.
How do you think the vibe-coding layman audience is using OpenClaw?
replyHostinger vps if youtube is any indication. Also its actually hard for a layman to run this software.
reply"All you have to do is run the command `/yolo` to start your instance of OpenClaw."
