|
|
|
Honcho uses a flexible configuration system that supports both TOML files and environment variables. Configuration values are loaded in the following priority order (highest to lowest):
|
|
|
|
1. Environment variables (always take precedence)
|
|
2. `.env` file (for local development)
|
|
3. `config.toml` file (base configuration)
|
|
4. Default values
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Configuration Approaches
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Environment Variables Only (Production)
|
|
- Use environment variables for all configuration
|
|
- No config files needed
|
|
- Ideal for containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes)
|
|
- Secrets managed by your deployment platform
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: config.toml (Development/Simple Deployments)
|
|
- Use config.toml for base configuration
|
|
- Override sensitive values with environment variables
|
|
- Good for development and simple deployments
|
|
|
|
### Option 3: Hybrid Approach
|
|
- Use config.toml for non-sensitive base settings
|
|
- Use .env file for sensitive values (API keys, secrets)
|
|
- Good for development teams
|
|
|
|
### Option 4: .env Only (Local Development)
|
|
- Use .env file for all configuration
|
|
- Simple for local development
|
|
- Never commit .env files to version control
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Methods
|
|
|
|
### Using config.toml
|
|
|
|
Copy the example configuration file to get started:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp config.toml.example config.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then modify the values as needed. The TOML file is organized into sections:
|
|
|
|
- `[app]` - Application-level settings (log level, host, port)
|
|
- `[db]` - Database connection and pool settings
|
|
- `[auth]` - Authentication configuration
|
|
- `[llm]` - LLM provider and model settings
|
|
- `[agent]` - Agent behavior settings
|
|
- `[deriver]` - Background worker settings
|
|
- `[history]` - Message history settings
|
|
- `[sentry]` - Error tracking settings
|
|
|
|
### Using Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
All configuration values can be overridden using environment variables. The environment variable names follow this pattern:
|
|
|
|
- `{SECTION}_{KEY}` for nested settings
|
|
- Just `{KEY}` for app-level settings
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `DB_CONNECTION_URI` → `[db].CONNECTION_URI`
|
|
- `DB_POOL_SIZE` → `[db].POOL_SIZE`
|
|
- `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` → `[auth].JWT_SECRET`
|
|
- `LLM_DIALECTIC_MODEL` → `[llm].DIALECTIC_MODEL`
|
|
- `LOG_LEVEL` (no section) → `[app].LOG_LEVEL`
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Priority
|
|
|
|
When a configuration value is set in multiple places, Honcho uses this priority:
|
|
|
|
1. **Environment variables** - Always take precedence
|
|
2. **.env file** - Loaded for local development
|
|
3. **config.toml** - Base configuration
|
|
4. **Default values** - Built-in defaults
|
|
|
|
This allows you to:
|
|
|
|
- Use `config.toml` for base configuration
|
|
- Override specific values with environment variables in production
|
|
- Use `.env` files for local development without modifying config.toml
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
If you have this in `config.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[db]
|
|
CONNECTION_URI = "postgresql://localhost/honcho_dev"
|
|
POOL_SIZE = 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can override just the connection URI in production:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export DB_CONNECTION_URI="postgresql://prod-server/honcho_prod"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The application will use the production connection URI while keeping the pool size from config.toml.
|
|
|
|
## Core Configuration

|
|
## Migration Management
|
|
|
|
**Running Database Migrations:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check current migration status
|
|
uv run alembic current
|
|
|
|
# Upgrade to latest
|
|
uv run alembic upgrade head
|
|
|
|
# Downgrade to specific revision
|
|
uv run alembic downgrade revision_id
|
|
|
|
# Create new migration
|
|
uv run alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Description of changes"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**Common Configuration Issues:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Database Connection Errors**
|
|
- Ensure `DB_CONNECTION_URI` uses `postgresql+psycopg://` prefix
|
|
- Verify database is running and accessible
|
|
- Check pgvector extension is installed
|
|
|
|
2. **Authentication Issues**
|
|
- Set `AUTH_USE_AUTH=true` for production
|
|
- Generate and set `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` if authentication is enabled
|
|
- Use `python scripts/generate_jwt_secret.py` to create a secure secret
|
|
|
|
3. **LLM Provider Issues**
|
|
- Verify API keys are set correctly
|
|
- Check model names match provider specifications
|
|
- Ensure provider is enabled in configuration
|
|
|
|
4. **Deriver Issues**
|
|
- Increase `DERIVER_WORKERS` for better performance
|
|
- Check `DERIVER_STALE_SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` for session cleanup
|
|
- Monitor background processing logs
|
|
|
|
This configuration guide covers all the settings available in Honcho. Always use environment-specific configuration files and never commit sensitive values like API keys or JWT secrets to version control.
