Deploying NVIDIA NemoClaw on High-Performance Infrastructure
System Requirements & Kernel Verification
NemoClaw utilizes Landlock LSM for fine-grained filesystem isolation. Before deployment, verify that your kernel supports this security module.
Pre-flight Verification
# Verify Landlock support (Must return ‘Y’)
grep LANDLOCK /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# Software Prerequisites
node -v # Requirement: v20.0.0+
docker info # Requirement: Docker Engine 24.0+
uname -r # Requirement: Kernel 5.15+
free -m # Minimum 8GB free RAM for sandbox runtime
Infrastructure Matrix
| Workload | CPU | RAM | GPU |
| Lightweight Inference | 4 vCPU | 16 GB | RTX 3060 12 GB |
| Multi-agent Orchestration | 8+ vCPU | 32 GB | A100 / RTX 6000 Ada |
| Sovereign / Air-gapped | 16+ vCPU | 64 GB | H100 / A100 Cluster |
Strategic Note: For Fintech and iGaming workloads, utilize Dedicated Bare Metal to eliminate “noisy-neighbor” interference and ensure hardware-level resource isolation.
Deployment Workflow
dics
Step 1: Environment Hardening
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker
Step 2: Install NemoClaw
Avoid piping curl directly to bash. This prevents stdin hijacking during the onboarding wizard and allows for manual code audit.
curl -O https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh
cat nemoclaw.sh # Security review
bash nemoclaw.sh
Step 3: Sandbox Onboarding
# Interactive setup
nemoclaw onboard
# For CI/CD or Headless deployments
NEMOCLAW_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 nemoclaw onboard
Configuration: Define sandbox name (e.g., fintech-ops), select inference provider (NVIDIA Cloud API or Local NIM), and explicitly set the Network Allow List.
Operational Commands
Execution & Interaction
# Enter the sandboxed shell
nemoclaw <sandbox-name> connect
# Non-interactive agent execution (Automation/Pipelines)
openclaw agent –agent main –local \
-m “Summarize procurement logs” \
–session-id run-001
Management
nemoclaw list # View all active sandboxes
nemoclaw <name> status # Check health and inference config
nemoclaw <name> logs –follow # Stream logs to stdout/SIEM
Security Architecture
- Filesystem Policy: Agents are restricted to Read-Write access in /sandbox and /tmp. All other directories are Read-Only.
- Network Engine: Default-deny policy. Every outbound request must be explicitly approved during onboarding or surfaced for operator validation.
- Observability: Forward logs to your SIEM via:
nemoclaw logs –follow | fluent-bit
Rollback & Cleanup
Targeted Removal
# Remove NemoClaw components only
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/main/uninstall.sh | \ bash -s — –yes –target nemoclaw
Manual Purge (If scripts fail)
# Force stop and remove containers
docker ps -a | grep nemoclaw | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs docker rm -f
# Clean state and global packages
npm uninstall -g nemoclaw
rm -rf ~/.nemoclaw
