Container-first runtime

NanoClaw

A container-first branch focused on safer isolation, clearer self-hosting boundaries, and more controlled deployments.

Description

NanoClaw is not only trying to be lighter than OpenClaw. Its bigger idea is that execution should live inside clearer container boundaries, with more explicit isolation around self-hosted deployment and runtime control.

That changes the personality of the project. The official runtime feels like the broad product surface, while NanoClaw feels like the branch for people who care more about controlled deployment, security posture, and operational boundaries than about the widest possible feature layer.

  • Official website and repository are both public.
  • Repository description explicitly calls out containers for security.
  • Good fit for users who want a self-hosted runtime with cleaner deployment boundaries.
