# lorabot

Bridges a [MeshCore](https://meshcore.io) companion radio to any OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint
(e.g. `llama-server`, vLLM, Ollama). Listens for direct messages on the device, runs each
conversation through the LLM with full per-sender history stored in SQLite, and replies back
over the mesh — trimmed to the MeshCore packet payload limit.

## Quick start

```sh
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

cp config.example.toml config.toml
# edit serial_port and [llm] in config.toml

python -m lorabot
```

Config file path defaults to `./config.toml` and can be overridden with `LORABOT_CONFIG`.
Any field can be overridden via env vars, e.g. `LORABOT_LLM__API_KEY=sk-...`.

## Layout

- `src/lorabot/bot.py` — connect, subscribe to `CONTACT_MSG_RECV`, dispatch each DM.
- `src/lorabot/db.py` — SQLite schema and per-conversation repo functions.
- `src/lorabot/llm.py` — `AsyncOpenAI` wrapper.
- `src/lorabot/messages.py` — UTF-8-safe byte-length trimming.
- `src/lorabot/config.py` — TOML + env-var settings (pydantic-settings).

## Docker

Build and push a multi-arch image (`linux/amd64` + `linux/arm64`):

```sh
docker login registry.example.com                    # once
export LORABOT_IMAGE=registry.example.com/team/lorabot
./scripts/build-and-push.sh                          # tags: latest + <git sha>
EXTRA_TAGS="v0.1.0" ./scripts/build-and-push.sh      # add explicit version
PUSH=0 PLATFORMS=linux/amd64 ./scripts/build-and-push.sh   # local load only
```

Run via compose (set `LORABOT_IMAGE`, `LORABOT_LLM_BASE_URL`, `LORABOT_LLM_MODEL`,
optionally `LORABOT_DEVICE`):

```sh
export LORABOT_IMAGE=registry.example.com/team/lorabot:latest
export LORABOT_LLM_BASE_URL=http://llama:8080/v1
export LORABOT_LLM_MODEL=llama-3.1-8b-instruct
export LORABOT_DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0
docker compose up -d
```

The container expects `config.toml` mounted at `/etc/lorabot/config.toml` and
persists SQLite to a named volume at `/data`. Any field can still be overridden
via `LORABOT_<SECTION>__<KEY>` env vars.
