Agents Runtime Images

This repository contains Docker image definitions for the runtimes used by the ClawManager Agents project.

The repository currently documents these runtime images:

• hermes
• hermes-lite
• openclaw
• openclaw-lite
• openclaw-shell

Repository layout

• hermes/: Hermes runtime image, built from the repository root so it can include the shared clawmanager-agent/
• hermes-lite: lite Hermes runtime image, built from the repository root with the Hermes Dockerfile
• openclaw/: OpenClaw runtime image, built from the repository root so it can include the shared clawmanager-agent/
• openclaw-lite: lite OpenClaw runtime image, built from the repository root with openclaw/Dockerfile.openclaw
• openclaw-shell/: Alpine-based OpenClaw shell runtime image, built from the repository root so it can reuse the OpenClaw agent implementation under openclaw/
• clawmanager-agent/: shared managed-runtime agent used by runtime images that need ClawManager runtime gateway control

Manual builds

You can build each runtime image directly with Docker from the repository root.

Hermes

docker build \
  -f hermes/Dockerfile \
  -t hermes:local \
  .

Hermes Lite

docker build \
  -f hermes/Dockerfile \
  -t hermes-lite:local \
  .

OpenClaw

docker build \
  -f openclaw/Dockerfile.openclaw \
  -t openclaw:local \
  .

OpenClaw Lite

docker build \
  -f openclaw/Dockerfile.openclaw \
  -t openclaw-lite:local \
  .

OpenClaw Shell

docker build \
  -f openclaw-shell/Dockerfile \
  -t openclaw-shell:local \
  .

This image does not include Webtop or a virtual desktop. It uses /config as the persistent directory, runs openclaw-agent on container start, and reports runtime_type=openclaw-shell to ClawManager when CLAWMANAGER_AGENT_ENABLED=true.

Manual multi-architecture builds

If you want to build multi-architecture images manually, use Docker Buildx.

Hermes

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -f hermes/Dockerfile \
  -t <registry>/hermes:latest \
  --push \
  .

Hermes Lite

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -f hermes/Dockerfile \
  -t <registry>/hermes-lite:latest \
  --push \
  .

OpenClaw

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -f openclaw/Dockerfile.openclaw \
  -t <registry>/openclaw:latest \
  --push \
  .

OpenClaw Lite

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -f openclaw/Dockerfile.openclaw \
  -t <registry>/openclaw-lite:latest \
  --push \
  .

OpenClaw Shell

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -f openclaw-shell/Dockerfile \
  -t <registry>/openclaw-shell:latest \
  --push \
  .

The supported architectures are:

• linux/amd64
• linux/arm64

This publishes a single multi-arch image manifest, so both architectures are available under the same tag.
