WebChat

WebChat is a browser-based chat UI that is enabled by default. No additional setup is required — start reeboot and open the URL.

http://localhost:3000

WebChat is a Tier 2 channel: it runs on the same machine as the agent, all messages are treated as coming from the owner, and no identity verification is required.

Configuration

{
  "channels": {
    "web": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 3000
    }
  }
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
`channels.web.enabled`	boolean	`true`	Enable or disable the WebChat channel
`channels.web.port`	number	`3000`	HTTP port for the web server
`channels.web.trust`	string	`"owner"`	Trust level for all WebChat messages (`"owner"` or `"end-user"`)
`channels.web.trusted_senders`	string[]	`[]`	Additional sender IDs granted elevated trust

Changing the Port

{
  "channels": {
    "web": { "enabled": true, "port": 8080 }
  }
}

Or set the environment variable:

REEBOOT_PORT=8080 reeboot start

Disabling WebChat

{
  "channels": {
    "web": { "enabled": false }
  }
}

When WebChat is disabled, the HTTP server still starts (for health checks and the API), but the chat UI is not served.

Health Check

curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
# {"status":"ok","uptime":42,"version":"1.2.0"}

Multi-Context Routing

By default all WebChat messages go to the main context. To route to a different context, configure routing rules:

{
  "routing": {
    "default": "main",
    "rules": [
      { "channel": "web", "context": "work" }
    ]
  }
}

→ See Configuration Reference for routing options.
