summary: "Run Clawdbot in a sandboxed macOS VM (local or hosted) when you need isolation or iMessage"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- You want Clawdbot isolated from your main macOS environment
|
||||
- You want iMessage integration (BlueBubbles) in a sandbox
|
||||
- You already have an Apple Silicon Mac and don't want to buy extra hardware
|
||||
- You want to reset your Clawdbot environment easily by cloning VMs
|
||||
- You want a resettable macOS environment you can clone
|
||||
- You want to compare local vs hosted macOS VM options

## Goal
|
||||
## Recommended default (most users)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Small Linux VPS** for an always-on Gateway and low cost. See [VPS hosting](/vps).
|
||||
- **Dedicated hardware** (Mac mini or Linux box) if you want full control and a **residential IP** for browser automation. Many sites block data center IPs, so local browsing often works better.
|
||||
- **Hybrid:** keep the Gateway on a cheap VPS, and connect your Mac as a **node** when you need browser/UI automation. See [Nodes](/nodes) and [Gateway remote](/gateway/remote).
|
||||
|
||||
Use a macOS VM when you specifically need macOS-only capabilities (iMessage/BlueBubbles) or want strict isolation from your daily Mac.

### Hosted Mac providers (cloud)
|
||||
|
||||
- Install Lume on your Mac (VM manager using Apple's Virtualization Framework)
|
||||
- Create a macOS VM
|
||||
- SSH into the VM
|
||||
- Install and configure Clawdbot inside the VM
|
||||
- Run the VM headlessly in the background
|
||||
If you want macOS in the cloud, hosted Mac providers work too:
|
||||
- [MacStadium](https://www.macstadium.com/) (hosted Macs)
|
||||
- Other hosted Mac vendors also work; follow their VM + SSH docs
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway runs inside the VM. You access it via SSH or the VM's IP.

||||
Once you have SSH access to a macOS VM, continue at step 6 below.
