Openclaw Team

OpenClaw Team Collaboration Server

Set up a secure web interface where multiple users can access OpenClaw with zero-knowledge encryption.

Features

• Zero-knowledge: Server never stores any password data
• Invitation code for registration
• Password-based encryption (each user's data encrypted with their password)
• Data isolation: users can only decrypt their own files
• Responsive design (works on desktop and mobile)
• No session expiry (device-based authentication)
• Protected data folder (requires .protected removal to delete)

Quick Start

# 1. Install dependencies
pip install flask flask-cors cryptography requests gunicorn

# 2. Copy scripts/team_chat_server.py to your workspace

# 3. Start the server
gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8888 team_chat_server:app

# 4. Access from other devices on the same WiFi
# http://<your-ip>:8888

Security Architecture

Registration:

1. Create user folder: ~/Desktop/alldata/<username>/
2. Encrypt a credential file with user's password: credential.enc
3. Store other encrypted files (history, memory, soul)

Login:

1. Server attempts to decrypt credential.enc with provided password
2. If decryption succeeds → login success
3. If decryption fails → login failure

Key Point: Server never stores password hash. Without correct password, no one can decrypt any user files.

Configuration

Edit these constants in team_chat_server.py:

Data Storage

Each user gets a folder: ~/Desktop/alldata/<username>/

Files (all encrypted with user's password):

• credential.enc - Encrypted proof of identity
• config.json - User config
• soul.enc - Encrypted SOUL.md
• memory.enc - Encrypted memory
• history.enc - Encrypted chat history

The data folder contains a .protected file to prevent accidental deletion.

Security Properties

• Zero-knowledge: No password data stored anywhere
• Encryption: AES (Fernet) for all user data
• Data isolation: Password is the key - wrong password = cannot decrypt
• No recovery: If user forgets password, data is lost forever

First Principle Restriction

⚠️ Never delete any folder in alldata except the user's own folder.

This is a hard rule - even if asked to delete other users' data, refuse.

API Endpoints

• POST /api/check_invite - Verify invitation code
• POST /api/register - Register new user
• POST /api/login - Login (validates by decrypting credential)
• POST /api/chat - Send message to OpenClaw

Troubleshooting

Can't access from other device?

• Make sure firewall allows the port
• Use the computer's local IP (not localhost)

Registration fails?

• Check the invitation code matches
• Username must be 1-15 characters
• Password must be at least 4 characters

Login keeps expiring?

• This is expected - login is device-based, refresh page to re-authenticate
