# Configuration 🔧
|
||
|
||
CLAWDIS reads an optional **JSON5** config from `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json` (comments + trailing commas allowed).
|
||
|
||
If the file is missing, CLAWDIS uses safe-ish defaults (embedded Pi agent + per-sender sessions + workspace `~/clawd`). You usually only need a config to:
|
||
- restrict who can trigger the bot (`inbound.allowFrom`)
|
||
- tune group mention behavior (`inbound.groupChat`)
|
||
- set the agent’s workspace (`inbound.workspace`)
|
||
- tune the embedded agent (`inbound.agent`) and session behavior (`inbound.session`)
|
||
- set the agent’s identity (`identity`)
|
||
|
||
## Minimal config (recommended starting point)
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: {
|
||
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
|
||
workspace: "~/clawd"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Common options
|
||
|
||
### `identity`
|
||
|
||
Optional agent identity used for defaults and UX. This is written by the macOS onboarding assistant.
|
||
|
||
If set, CLAWDIS derives defaults (only when you haven’t set them explicitly):
|
||
- `inbound.responsePrefix` from `identity.emoji`
|
||
- `inbound.groupChat.mentionPatterns` from `identity.name` (so “@Samantha” works in groups)
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
identity: { name: "Samantha", theme: "helpful sloth", emoji: "🦥" }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `logging`
|
||
|
||
- Default log file: `/tmp/clawdis/clawdis-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
|
||
- If you want a stable path, set `logging.file` to `/tmp/clawdis/clawdis.log`.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
logging: { level: "info", file: "/tmp/clawdis/clawdis.log" }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `inbound.allowFrom`
|
||
|
||
Allowlist of E.164 phone numbers that may trigger auto-replies.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "+447700900123"] }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `inbound.groupChat`
|
||
|
||
Group messages default to **require mention** (either metadata mention or regex patterns).
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: {
|
||
groupChat: {
|
||
requireMention: true,
|
||
mentionPatterns: ["@clawd", "clawdbot", "clawd"],
|
||
historyLimit: 50
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `inbound.workspace`
|
||
|
||
Sets the **single global workspace directory** used by the agent for file operations.
|
||
|
||
Default: `~/clawd`.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: { workspace: "~/clawd" }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `inbound.agent`
|
||
|
||
Controls the embedded agent runtime (provider/model/thinking/verbose/timeouts).
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: {
|
||
workspace: "~/clawd",
|
||
agent: {
|
||
provider: "anthropic",
|
||
model: "claude-opus-4-5",
|
||
thinkingDefault: "low",
|
||
verboseDefault: "off",
|
||
timeoutSeconds: 600,
|
||
mediaMaxMb: 5,
|
||
heartbeatMinutes: 30,
|
||
contextTokens: 200000
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `inbound.session`
|
||
|
||
Controls session scoping, idle expiry, reset triggers, and where the session store is written.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
inbound: {
|
||
session: {
|
||
scope: "per-sender",
|
||
idleMinutes: 60,
|
||
resetTriggers: ["/new"],
|
||
store: "~/.clawdis/sessions/sessions.json",
|
||
mainKey: "main"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `browser` (clawd-managed Chrome)
|
||
|
||
Clawdis can start a **dedicated, isolated** Chrome/Chromium instance for clawd and expose a small loopback control server.
|
||
|
||
Defaults:
|
||
- enabled: `true`
|
||
- control URL: `http://127.0.0.1:18791` (CDP uses `18792`)
|
||
- profile color: `#FF4500` (lobster-orange)
|
||
- Note: the control server is started by the running gateway (Clawdis.app menubar, or `clawdis gateway`).
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
browser: {
|
||
enabled: true,
|
||
controlUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:18791",
|
||
color: "#FF4500",
|
||
// Advanced:
|
||
// headless: false,
|
||
// attachOnly: false,
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `bridge` (Iris/node bridge server)
|
||
|
||
The Gateway can expose a simple TCP bridge for nodes (iOS/Android “Iris”), typically on port `18790`.
|
||
|
||
Defaults:
|
||
- enabled: `true`
|
||
- port: `18790`
|
||
- bind: `lan` (binds to `0.0.0.0`)
|
||
|
||
Bind modes:
|
||
- `lan`: `0.0.0.0` (reachable on any interface, including LAN/Wi‑Fi and Tailscale)
|
||
- `tailnet`: bind only to the machine’s Tailscale IP (recommended for Vienna ⇄ London)
|
||
- `loopback`: `127.0.0.1` (local only)
|
||
- `auto`: prefer tailnet IP if present, else `lan`
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
bridge: {
|
||
enabled: true,
|
||
port: 18790,
|
||
bind: "tailnet"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `discovery.wideArea` (Wide-Area Bonjour / unicast DNS‑SD)
|
||
|
||
When enabled, the Gateway writes a unicast DNS-SD zone for `_clawdis-bridge._tcp` under `~/.clawdis/dns/` using the standard discovery domain `clawdis.internal.`
|
||
|
||
To make iOS/Android discover across networks (Vienna ⇄ London), pair this with:
|
||
- a DNS server on the gateway host serving `clawdis.internal.` (CoreDNS is recommended)
|
||
- Tailscale **split DNS** so clients resolve `clawdis.internal` via that server
|
||
|
||
One-time setup helper (gateway host):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdis dns setup --apply
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
discovery: { wideArea: { enabled: true } }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
