Screenshare & SSH into your OpenClaw machine

This video covers the three main methods for remotely accessing and managing a headless OpenClaw Mac Mini: Mac's built-in screen sharing (via Finder's "Connect to Server"), SSH for command-line access, and Tailscale — a free mesh VPN that enables access from anywhere, not just your home network.

You'll also see how to use iTerm2 with a custom profile to manage multiple running processes through a single interface, including a four-tab tmux setup and the startup scripting (using macOS launchd) that keeps everything running automatically after a reboot. The full configuration guide is provided for you to hand off to Claude or your preferred AI assistant as you adapt the setup to your own environment.

Topics covered in this video:

• Mac screen sharing, SSH access, and Tailscale mesh VPN for remote access
• iTerm2 profiles and four-tab tmux layout: Rails server, Cloudflare tunnel, OpenClaw logs, spare shell
• Cloudflare tunnel for mapping a custom domain to a locally running app
• Auto-starting services on boot using macOS launchd and a startup script
• Using Claude side by side to troubleshoot and configure each piece
• OpenClaw gateway restart commands and log monitoring
