Conversation Summary

assistant: ✅ New session started · model: openai-codex/gpt-5.2 user: A new session was started via /new or /reset. Say hi briefly (1-2 sentences) and ask what the user wants to do next. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model in the greeting. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning. [message_id: 530] assistant: Hi snake — I’m back. What do you want to do next? user: [Telegram S L id:8433292660 +4s 2026-04-05 20:09 UTC] How do I launch the dashboard again [message_id: 533] assistant: Which dashboard do you mean?

OpenClaw Dashboard (the web UI): it usually comes up when the Gateway is running. On the EC2 host, run:
- openclaw gateway status
- if it’s stopped: openclaw gateway start Then open the Dashboard URL you used before (if you tell me whether you accessed it via a domain or SSH tunnel, I can give the exact URL/command).
ai-compass / another project dashboard (Next.js, etc.): tell me the repo/app name and whether you ran it with npm run dev, pnpm dev, docker, etc., and I’ll give the exact launch command.

What did you use last time—OpenClaw’s UI, or a specific app’s dashboard? user: [Telegram S L id:8433292660 +39s 2026-04-05 20:10 UTC] Openclaw ui [message_id: 535] assistant: Run these on the EC2 host:

openclaw gateway status
openclaw gateway start   # if it’s not already running

Then open the UI in your browser:

If you normally access it via an SSH tunnel, re-create it (replace PORT if yours differs):
```
ssh -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@<your-ec2-host>
```
and go to: http://localhost:3000
If you access it via a public domain / reverse proxy, use that same URL.

Tell me how you were opening it before (localhost tunnel vs a domain), and if you remember the port (common ones are 3000 / 5173), and I’ll pin it down exactly. user: [Telegram S L id:8433292660 +3m 2026-04-05 20:14 UTC] So I don’t need to run any command to start the Ui? [message_id: 537] assistant: Usually you don’t start the UI separately.

The OpenClaw UI is served by the Gateway, so as long as the Gateway is running, the UI is up.
The only “start” command you typically need is:
```
openclaw gateway start
```
(or openclaw gateway restart if it’s wedged)

If the Gateway is already running, you can just open the UI URL again—no extra command.

If you tell me how you access it (SSH tunnel vs public URL), I can tell you exactly what to open and what port to forward. user: [Telegram S L id:8433292660 2026-04-05 20:16 UTC] Hello? [message_id: 538] assistant: Yep—I’m here.

To get the OpenClaw UI back:

On the EC2 host, check it’s running:

openclaw gateway status

If it’s not running, start it:

openclaw gateway start

Then open the UI the same way you did before:

If you used an SSH tunnel: http://localhost:<port> (often 3000)
If you used a public URL: open that URL

Tell me which one you used (tunnel or public URL) and what port you remember, and I’ll give you the exact one-liner. user: [Telegram S L id:8433292660 +1m 2026-04-05 20:31 UTC] Where I don’t remember how I accessed it before [message_id: 541] assistant: No problem — we can rediscover it quickly.

On the EC2 box, run these and paste the output:

openclaw gateway status
openclaw status

Then, to find what port it’s listening on:

ss -lntp | grep -E ':(3000|8080|5173|8787|9000)\b' || ss -lntp | head -n 50

In the meantime, the two most common access patterns are:

SSH tunnel (most common for EC2):

ssh -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@<your-ec2-host>

Then open http://localhost:3000

Public URL / reverse proxy: you’d open a normal https://... URL (no SSH tunnel).

If you paste the openclaw gateway status output, I’ll tell you exactly which URL to open. assistant: Workspace auto-commit created: 442ba5ce017b72009927595af850cdb5c4072cf3 chore: daily workspace sync (2026-04-05)
