Gateway failed to start

The gateway encountered an unexpected error during startup.

To fix:

1. Check container logs for details

   openshell doctor logs --name openshell

2. Run diagnostics

   openshell doctor check --name openshell

3. Try destroying and recreating the gateway

   openshell gateway destroy --name openshell && openshell gateway start

4. If the issue persists, report it at https://github.com/nvidia/openshell/issues

elyees@elyees-HP-EliteBook-x360-1030-G2 / $ openshell doctor logs --name nemoclaw
openshell doctor check --name nemoclaw
Error: × error reading container logs: Docker responded with status code 404: No such container: openshell-cluster-nemoclaw

error: unexpected argument '--name' found

Usage: openshell doctor check [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

Description

I have tried to setup the nemoclaw instance more than 7 times. At first I had issues related to my docker instance not being able to start, I reconfigured my DNS and then restarted docker, then uninstalled the nemoclaw instance before beginning the installation process again. I keep getting that error, the CLI tries to retry but it always leads to that same output three times.

Reproduction Steps

Run curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash

sudo journalctl -xeu docker.service | cat

Environment

Linux Ubuntu 24.04
openshell 0.0.19
Docker version 29.3.0, build 5927d80

Logs

Agent-First Checklist

• I pointed my agent at the repo and had it investigate this issue
• I loaded relevant skills (e.g., debug-openshell-cluster, debug-inference, openshell-cli)
• My agent could not resolve this — the diagnostic above explains why

Have you tried deploying only OpenShell and just try creating a vanilla sandbox? It would be better if you only isolated to using OpenShell standalone to see if the same thing happens.
