# Verifying Docker Multi-Bot Setup ## ✅ Configuration Check ### 1. Environment Files **`.env.shared`** - Contains: - ✅ Provider settings (custom/Ollama) - ✅ Agent defaults (model, workspace, temperature, etc.) - ✅ Tool settings - ✅ Gateway settings - ✅ Email IMAP/SMTP settings (shared) **`.env.user1`** - Contains: - ✅ Telegram token (bot-specific) - ✅ Email credentials (bot-specific override) - ⚠️ **Issue**: `ALLOW_FROM` should NOT be in env files (arrays don't work in env vars) ### 2. Config Files **`~/.nanobot-user1/config.json`** - Contains: - ✅ Telegram `allowFrom` array (correct location) - ✅ Email `allowFrom` array (correct location) ### 3. Docker Compose **`docker-compose.multi.env.yml`** - Correctly configured: - ✅ Loads `.env.shared` first - ✅ Loads `.env.user1` second (overrides shared) - ✅ Mounts `~/.nanobot-user1:/root/.nanobot` (maps host config to container) ## 🔍 How Nanobot Loads Config in Docker 1. **Environment Variables** (from `.env.shared` and `.env.user1`): - Loaded by Docker Compose into container environment - Nanobot's Pydantic `BaseSettings` reads them automatically - Format: `NANOBOT_CHANNELS__TELEGRAM__TOKEN=...` 2. **Config File** (`config.json`): - Path inside container: `/root/.nanobot/config.json` - Maps to host: `~/.nanobot-user1/config.json` - Loaded by `load_config()` which calls `get_config_path()` - `get_config_path()` returns `Path.home() / ".nanobot" / "config.json"` - In Docker, `Path.home()` = `/root`, so it reads `/root/.nanobot/config.json` - This is mounted from `~/.nanobot-user1/config.json` on host ✅ ## ⚠️ Issues Found ### Issue 1: ALLOW_FROM in env file **Problem**: `.env.user1` has: ```bash NANOBOT_CHANNELS__TELEGRAM__ALLOW_FROM=["TADec2023"] NANOBOT_CHANNELS__EMAIL__ALLOW_FROM=["adayear2025@gmail.com"] ``` **Why it's wrong**: Environment variables can't handle JSON arrays. These will be treated as strings, not arrays. **Fix**: Remove these from `.env.user1` - they're already correctly in `config.json`: ```json { "channels": { "telegram": { "allowFrom": ["TADec2023"] }, "email": { "allowFrom": ["adayear2025@gmail.com"] } } } ``` ### Issue 2: Duplicate email settings **Problem**: Email IMAP/SMTP settings are in both `.env.shared` and `.env.user1` **Recommendation**: - If all bots use same email account → Keep only in `.env.shared` - If each bot uses different email → Keep only in `.env.userX` files ## ✅ Verification Steps 1. **Check env files don't have ALLOW_FROM**: ```bash grep ALLOW_FROM .env.user1 # Should return nothing or be removed ``` 2. **Check config files have allowFrom**: ```bash cat ~/.nanobot-user1/config.json | jq '.channels.telegram.allowFrom' # Should show: ["TADec2023"] ``` 3. **Verify Docker mounts**: ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose.multi.env.yml config | grep -A 5 "nanobot-user1" # Should show volume mount: ~/.nanobot-user1:/root/.nanobot ``` 4. **Test config loading in container**: ```bash docker run --rm -v ~/.nanobot-user1:/root/.nanobot \ -e NANOBOT_CHANNELS__TELEGRAM__TOKEN=test \ nanobot gateway --help ``` ## 🎯 Summary **What's Correct:** - ✅ Docker Compose loads env files correctly - ✅ Config files are in correct locations - ✅ Volume mounts map host configs to container paths - ✅ Nanobot will read from `/root/.nanobot/config.json` inside container **What Needs Fixing:** - ⚠️ Remove `ALLOW_FROM` from `.env.user1` (keep only in config.json) - ⚠️ Decide: Email settings in `.env.shared` OR `.env.userX` (not both) **How It Works:** 1. Docker Compose loads `.env.shared` → sets environment variables 2. Docker Compose loads `.env.user1` → overrides with bot-specific vars 3. Container starts → mounts `~/.nanobot-user1` to `/root/.nanobot` 4. Nanobot starts → reads env vars (from Docker) + config.json (from mount) 5. Result: Bot uses combined settings from env vars + config.json ✅
