How to Migrate from Clawdbot to OpenClaw

cd ~/clawdbot
cp config.json config.json.backup
cp -r skills skills.backup
sqlite3 clawdbot.db ".backup clawdbot.db.backup"

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
npm install

# Create gateway.yaml from Clawdbot config.json
cp gateway.example.yaml gateway.yaml
nano gateway.yaml
# Map fields:
# Clawdbot "port" -> OpenClaw "server.port"
# Clawdbot "apiKeys" -> OpenClaw "auth.apiKeys"
# Clawdbot "allowedOrigins" -> OpenClaw "cors.origins"

# For each custom skill in ~/clawdbot/skills:
# 1. Copy to ~/openclaw/skills/
# 2. Update imports: clawdbot-sdk -> @openclaw/sdk
# 3. Update API calls to match OpenClaw SDK
# 4. Test with npm run dev

# Export data from Clawdbot
sqlite3 ~/clawdbot/clawdbot.db.backup ".dump conversations" > conversations.sql
# Import to OpenClaw (may require schema adjustments)
sqlite3 ~/openclaw/openclaw.db < conversations.sql
# Verify:
sqlite3 ~/openclaw/openclaw.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM conversations;"

cd ~/openclaw
# Edit gateway.yaml to use port 3001
npm start
# Test all skills and functionality at localhost:3001

# Stop Clawdbot
cd ~/clawdbot
npm stop  # Or kill the process
# Update OpenClaw to use the original port (3000)
cd ~/openclaw
nano gateway.yaml  # Change port back to 3000
npm start
# Verify at localhost:3000

# Set up systemd service for OpenClaw (see DigitalOcean guide)
# After 1-2 weeks of stable operation:
cd ~
tar czf clawdbot-archive.tar.gz clawdbot/
# Safely store archive, then remove clawdbot directory
