Moltbot Custom Docker Image

This directory contains the Dockerfile and scripts to build a custom Docker image for Moltbot (clawdbot) with pre-installed dependencies.

Why?

The original deployment installed clawdbot via npm on every pod startup, causing slow startup times (2-3 minutes). This custom image pre-installs clawdbot during the Docker build, reducing startup time to seconds.

What's Included

Dockerfile: Base image with clawdbot pre-installed
docker-entrypoint.sh: Entrypoint script that configures clawdbot for Kubernetes environment

Configuration

The entrypoint automatically creates the clawdbot config with:

Trusted proxies for Kubernetes pod networks (10.42.0.0/16, 10.43.0.0/16)
Token-based authentication
Insecure auth mode (safe behind reverse proxy)
Gateway binding to LAN interface

Building Locally

cd docker/moltbot
docker build -t moltbot:local .
docker run -p 18789:18789 moltbot:local

GitHub Actions

The image is automatically built and pushed to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) when:

Changes are pushed to main branch affecting docker/moltbot/**
Workflow is manually triggered

Image location: ghcr.io/wahyd4/home-docker/moltbot:latest

Startup Time Improvement

Before: ~180 seconds (npm install on every startup)
After: ~15 seconds (pre-installed image)
Savings: ~90% faster startup time
