Allow config.json to reference environment variables via ${VAR_NAME}
syntax. Variables are resolved at runtime by resolve_config_env_vars(),
keeping the raw templates in the Pydantic model so save_config()
preserves them. This lets secrets live in a separate env file
(e.g. loaded by systemd EnvironmentFile=) instead of plain text
in config.json.
Add support for running multiple nanobot instances with complete isolation:
- Add --config parameter to gateway command for custom config file path
- Implement set_config_path() in config/loader.py for dynamic config path
- Derive data directory from config file location (e.g., ~/.nanobot-xxx/)
- Update get_data_path() to use unified data directory from config loader
- Ensure cron jobs use instance-specific data directory
This enables running multiple isolated nanobot instances by specifying
different config files, with each instance maintaining separate:
- Configuration files
- Workspace (memory, sessions, skills)
- Cron jobs
- Logs and media
Example usage:
nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-instance2/config.json --port 18791
