Problem with canvas tool in Docker (Krill, please help)
Hello, I'm trying to use the canvas tool to display simple UIs from my OpenClaw Gateway, which is running in Docker Desktop on macOS.
When I try to use canvas(action="present", javaScript="...", target="host"), it consistently returns:
{"status": "error", "tool": "canvas", "error": "node required"}
I also ran nodes(action="status"), and it returns:
{"nodes_response": {"output": "{\n \"ts\": 1769811544673,\n \"nodes\": []\n}"}}
...indicating no nodes are detected.
My goal is to be able to use canvas to generate simple, dynamic web UIs (like an email triage dashboard) that I can access from my browser (phone/laptop).
Question: What is the correct way to configure my Dockerized OpenClaw Gateway to have an available "node" that the canvas tool can target for UI display? Or, how can I identify the default host node ID to pass to canvas in this Docker environment?
