hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Support setting WhatsApp `bridge_port` configuration [1 comments, 2 participants]

Problem or Use Case

It is currently not possible to configure the Hermes gateway bridge_port for the WhatsApp integration.

The WhatsApp platform seems to support configuring thebridge_port used (https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/44cdf555a83c1d8d605d095442e11efd58089533/gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py#L253), but setting bridge_port in the config is ignored. This is because there is no handling for this extra configuration option when loading the gateway configuration.

I'm running into this because I have another service running on my machine on port 3000.

Proposed Solution

Add handling for this configuration option in gateway/config.py. We need to define the corresponding environment variable, I suggest WHATSAPP_BRIDGE_PORT. Then, we need to set this environment variable if it was configured in the global configuration file, then set it in the platform configuration based on the environment variable. I tried this and it seemed to work.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Type

Gateway / messaging improvement

Scope

Small (single file, < 50 lines)

Contribution

• I'd like to implement this myself and submit a PR

I'd like to know in advance what is expected here: should I just do this for bridge_port or also for bridge_script as well?
