extent analysis

TL;DR

Disable the Bonjour plugin in the OpenClaw configuration to prevent the Gateway from crashing.

Guidance

  • The crash is caused by an unhandled Promise rejection in the Bonjour plugin, which can be mitigated by disabling the plugin.
  • To verify the fix, restart the Gateway after applying the configuration change and check if it remains stable.
  • The temporary workaround involves adding a specific configuration to the openclaw.json file to disable the Bonjour plugin.
  • It is recommended to test this workaround on a non-production environment before applying it to production to ensure it does not introduce any other issues.

Example

To disable the Bonjour plugin, add the following configuration to your openclaw.json file:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "bonjour": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

This workaround may not be a permanent solution and may have unintended consequences, such as affecting the functionality of other plugins or features that rely on the Bonjour plugin.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by disabling the Bonjour plugin, as it is a simple and effective way to prevent the Gateway from crashing, and it has been confirmed to work in the provided issue.
