zeroclaw-slack

ZeroClaw container images with Slack support compiled in.

FROM ghcr.io/hebbian-robotics/zeroclaw-slack:v0.8.2

Why

Every published ZeroClaw image ships the lean channel bundle — Telegram, Discord, email, webhook — without channel-slack. Configure a Slack channel on the official image and zeroclaw channel list reports:

🚫 Slack (configured, not compiled)

Upstream's answer is "build from source with --features channel-slack", which is a ~35-minute Rust compile of the whole workspace. This repo does that build in CI and publishes the result, so you don't have to.

The image is the official image with one file swapped: the zeroclaw binary is recompiled with upstream's default features plus

• channel-slack — the Slack channel (Socket Mode bot)
• memory-postgres — the PostgreSQL long-term memory backend ([memory] backend = "postgres" + [storage.postgres.<alias>]), for deployments where the container filesystem is ephemeral

then copied into the stock ghcr.io/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw image. Entrypoint (zeroclaw daemon), distroless base, dashboard assets, nonroot user, config paths — all unchanged. Drop-in replacement.

Tags

Tag	Meaning
v0.8.2	Built from upstream tag v0.8.2 (pin this)
latest	Most recent build

Tags mirror upstream versions; linux/amd64 only (see below for arm64).

Usage

Anywhere you'd use the official image:

docker run -d -p 42617:42617 \
  -e ZEROCLAW_providers__models__anthropic__default__api_key=sk-ant-... \
  -e ZEROCLAW_SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-... \
  -e ZEROCLAW_SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-... \
  ghcr.io/hebbian-robotics/zeroclaw-slack:v0.8.2

Slack setup (Socket Mode bot, [channels.slack.<alias>] config, allowlists) is upstream's territory — see the ZeroClaw Slack docs. Verify the channel is compiled in:

docker run --rm ghcr.io/hebbian-robotics/zeroclaw-slack:v0.8.2 channel list

Apple Silicon / arm64

CI publishes amd64 only (an emulated arm64 Rust build takes hours). Build natively in ~10–15 minutes:

docker build -t ghcr.io/hebbian-robotics/zeroclaw-slack:v0.8.2 .

Bumping the ZeroClaw version

1. Update the tag in Dockerfile (ARG ZEROCLAW_VERSION and the stage-2 FROM line) and in .github/workflows/build.yml (env.ZEROCLAW_VERSION).
2. Skim the upstream release notes — pre-1.0, config keys move between versions.
3. Push; CI builds and publishes the new tag (~35 min, cached thereafter).
4. Check whether upstream now ships Slack in official images — the day docker run ghcr.io/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw:<tag> channel list shows Slack compiled, this repo can retire.
