General

The Obot server is configured via environment variables. The following configuration is available:

OPENAI_API_KEY

The foundation of Obot is a large language model that supports function-calling. The default is OpenAI and specifying an OpenAI key here will ensure none of the users need to worry about specifying their own API key.

note

You can configure other model-providers besides OpenAI.

GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN

Obot and its underlying tool GPTScript make heavy use of tools hosted on GitHub. Care is taken to cache these tools and only re-check when necessary. However, rate-limiting can happen. Setting a read-only token here can alleviate many of these issues.

OBOT_SERVER_DSN

Obot uses a database backend. By default, it will use a sqlite3 local database. This environment variable allows you to specify another database option. For example, you can use a postgres database with something like OBOT_SERVER_DSN=postgres://user:password@host/database.

OBOT_SERVER_HOSTNAME

Tell Obot what its server URL is so that things like OAuth, LLM proxying, and invoke URLs are handled correctly.
