Manage Mounts

Manage Mounts

Configure which host directories NanoClaw agent containers can access. The mount allowlist lives at ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json.

Show Current Config

cat ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No mount allowlist configured"

Show the current config to the user in a readable format: which directories are allowed, whether non-main agents are read-only.

Add Directories

Ask which directories the user wants agents to access. For each path:

• Validate the path exists
• Ask if it should be read-only for non-main agents (default: yes)

Build the JSON config and write it:

pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --json '{"allowedRoots":[{"path":"/path/to/dir","readOnly":false}],"blockedPatterns":[],"nonMainReadOnly":true}'

Use --force to overwrite the existing config.

Remove Directories

Read the current config, show it, ask which entry to remove, then write the updated config through the same write path (build the trimmed JSON and pass it to --step mounts --force -- --json):

pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --json '{"allowedRoots":[],"blockedPatterns":[],"nonMainReadOnly":true}'

Reset to Empty

pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --empty

After Changes

Restart the service so containers pick up the new config (the unit/label names are per-install — see setup/lib/install-slug.sh).

Run from your NanoClaw project root:

source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)  # macOS
systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)              # Linux
