# LibreChat Configuration Guide

## Intro

Welcome to the guide for configuring the **librechat.yaml** file in LibreChat.

This file enables the integration of custom AI endpoints, enabling you to connect with any AI provider compliant with OpenAI API standards.

This includes providers like [Mistral AI](https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/client/), as well as reverse proxies that facilitate access to OpenAI servers, adding them alongside existing endpoints like Anthropic.

**[INSERT UPDATED IMAGE HERE]**

Future updates will streamline configuration further by migrating some settings from [your `.env` file](./dotenv.md) to `librechat.yaml`.

Stay tuned for ongoing enhancements to customize your LibreChat instance!

**Note:** To verify your YAML config, you can use online tools like [yamlchecker.com](https://yamlchecker.com/)

## Compatible Endpoints

Any API designed to be compatible with OpenAI's should be supported

Here is a list of **[known compatible endpoints](./ai_endpoints.md) including example setups.**

## Setup

**The `librechat.yaml` file should be placed in the root of the project where the .env file is located.**

You can copy the [example config file](#example-config) as a good starting point while reading the rest of the guide.

The example config file has some options ready to go for Mistral AI and Openrouter.

**Note:** You can set an alternate filepath for the `librechat.yaml` file through an environment variable:

```bash
CONFIG_PATH="/alternative/path/to/librechat.yaml"
```

## Docker Setup

For Docker, you need to make use of an [override file](./docker_override.md), named `docker-compose.override.yml`, to ensure the config file works for you.

- First, make sure your containers stop running with `docker compose down`
- Create or edit existing `docker-compose.override.yml` at the root of the project:

!!! tip "docker-compose.override.yml"

    ```yaml
    # For more details on the override file, see the Docker Override Guide:
    # https://docs.librechat.ai/install/configuration/docker_override.html

    version: '3.4'

    services:
      api:
        volumes:
          - ./librechat.yaml:/app/librechat.yaml # local/filepath:container/filepath
    ```

- **Note:** If you are using `CONFIG_PATH` for an alternative filepath for this file, make sure to specify it accordingly.

- Start docker again, and you should see your config file settings apply
```bash
# no need to rebuild
docker compose up
```

## Example Config

??? tip "Click here to expand/collapse example"

    ```yaml
    version: 1.0.5
    cache: true

          dropParams:
            - "stop"
            - "frequency_penalty"
    ```

    This example configuration file sets up LibreChat with detailed options across several key areas:

    - **Caching**: Enabled to improve performance.
    - **File Handling**:
        - **File Strategy**: Commented out but hints at possible integration with Firebase for file storage.
        - **File Configurations**: Customizes file upload limits and allowed MIME types for different endpoints, including a global server file size limit and a specific limit for user avatar images.
    - **Rate Limiting**: Defines thresholds for the maximum number of file uploads allowed per IP and user within a specified time window, aiming to prevent abuse.
    - **Registration**:
        - Allows registration from specified social login providers and email domains, enhancing security and user management.
    - **Endpoints**:
        - **Assistants**: Configures the assistants' endpoint with a polling interval and a timeout for operations, and provides an option to disable the builder interface.
        - **Custom Endpoints**:
            - Configures two external AI service endpoints, Mistral and OpenRouter, including API keys, base URLs, model handling, and specific feature toggles like conversation titles, summarization, and parameter adjustments.
            - For Mistral, it enables dynamic model fetching, applies additional parameters for safe prompts, and explicitly drops unsupported parameters.
            - For OpenRouter, it sets up a basic configuration without dynamic model fetching and specifies a model for conversation titles.

## File Config Object Structure

### **Overview**

The `fileConfig` object allows you to configure file handling settings for the application, including size limits and MIME type restrictions. This section provides a detailed breakdown of the `fileConfig` object structure.

There are 3 main fields under `fileConfig`:

  - `endpoints`
  - `serverFileSizeLimit`
  - `avatarSizeLimit`

**Notes:**

- At the time of writing, the Assistants endpoint [supports filetypes from this list](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/supported-files).
- OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google, and Custom endpoints support files through the [RAG API.](../../features/rag_api.md)
- Any other endpoints not mentioned, like Plugins, do not support file uploads (yet).
- The Assistants endpoint has a defined endpoint value of `assistants`. All other endpoints use the defined value `default`
  - For non-assistants endpoints, you can adjust file settings for all of them under `default`
  - If you'd like to adjust settings for a specific endpoint, you can list their corresponding endpoint names:
    - `assistants`
        - does not use "default" as it has defined defaults separate from the others.
    - `openAI`
    - `azureOpenAI`
    - `google`
    - `YourCustomEndpointName`
- You can omit values, in which case, the app will use the default values as defined per endpoint type listed below.
- LibreChat counts 1 megabyte as follows: `1 x 1024 x 1024`

### Example

??? tip "Click here to expand/collapse example"
    ```yaml
    fileConfig:
      endpoints:
        assistants:
          fileLimit: 5
          fileSizeLimit: 10
          totalSizeLimit: 50
          supportedMimeTypes:
            - "image/.*"
            - "application/pdf"
        openAI:
          disabled: true
        default:
          totalSizeLimit: 20
        YourCustomEndpointName:
          fileLimit: 5
          fileSizeLimit: 1000
          supportedMimeTypes:
            - "image/.*"
      serverFileSizeLimit: 1000
      avatarSizeLimit: 2
    ```

### **serverFileSizeLimit**

!!! tip "fileConfig / serverFileSizeLimit"

    > The global maximum size for any file uploaded to the server, specified in megabytes (MB).

    - Type: Integer
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      fileConfig:
        serverFileSizeLimit: 1000
      ```
    - **Note**: Acts as an overarching limit for file uploads across all endpoints, ensuring that no file exceeds this size server-wide.

### **avatarSizeLimit**

!!! tip "fileConfig / avatarSizeLimit"

    > The maximum size allowed for avatar images, specified in megabytes (MB).

    - Type: Integer
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      fileConfig:
        avatarSizeLimit: 2
      ```
    - **Note**: Specifically tailored for user avatar uploads, allowing for control over image sizes to maintain consistent quality and loading times.

### **endpoints**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints"

    > Configures file handling settings for individual endpoints, allowing customization per endpoint basis.

    - Type: Record/Object
    - **Description**: Specifies file handling configurations for individual endpoints, allowing customization per endpoint basis.

Each object under endpoints is a record that can have the following settings:

#### **Overview**

  - `disabled`
      - Whether file handling is disabled for the endpoint.
  - `fileLimit`
      - The maximum number of files allowed per upload request.
  - `fileSizeLimit`
      - The maximum size for a single file. In units of MB (e.g. use `20` for 20 megabytes)
  - `totalSizeLimit`
      - The total maximum size for all files in a single request. In units of MB (e.g. use `20` for 20 megabytes)
  - `supportedMimeTypes`
      - A list of [Regular Expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) specifying what MIME types are allowed for upload. This can be customized to restrict file types.

### **disabled**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints / {endpoint_record} / disabled"

    > Indicates whether file uploading is disabled for a specific endpoint.

    - Type: Boolean
    - Default: `false` (i.e., uploading is enabled by default)
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      openAI:
        disabled: true
      ```
    - **Note**: Setting this to `true` prevents any file uploads to the specified endpoint, overriding any other file-related settings.

### **fileLimit**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints / {endpoint_record} / fileLimit"

    > The maximum number of files allowed in a single upload request.

    - Type: Integer
    - Default: Varies by endpoint
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      assistants:
        fileLimit: 5
      ```
    - **Note**: Helps control the volume of uploads and manage server load.

### **fileSizeLimit**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints / {endpoint_record} / fileSizeLimit"

    > The maximum size allowed for each individual file, specified in megabytes (MB).

    - Type: Integer
    - Default: Varies by endpoint
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      YourCustomEndpointName:
        fileSizeLimit: 1000
      ```
    - **Note**: This limit ensures that no single file exceeds the specified size, allowing for better resource allocation and management.

### **totalSizeLimit**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints / {endpoint_record} / totalSizeLimit"

    > The total maximum size allowed for all files in a single request, specified in megabytes (MB).

    - Type: Integer
    - Default: Varies by endpoint
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      assistants:
        totalSizeLimit: 50
      ```
    - **Note**: This setting is crucial for preventing excessive bandwidth and storage usage by any single upload request.

### **supportedMimeTypes**

!!! tip "fileConfig / endpoints / {endpoint_record} / supportedMimeTypes"

    > A list of regular expressions defining the MIME types permitted for upload.

    - Type: Array of Strings
    - Default: Varies by endpoint
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      assistants:
        supportedMimeTypes:
          - "image/.*"
          - "application/pdf"
      ```
    - **Note**: This allows for precise control over the types of files that can be uploaded. Invalid regex is ignored.

## Interface Object Structure

### **Overview**

The `interface` object allows for customization of various user interface elements within the application, including visibility and behavior settings for components such as menus, panels, and links. This section provides a detailed breakdown of the `interface` object structure.

There are 7 main fields under `interface`:

  - `privacyPolicy`
  - `termsOfService`
  - `endpointsMenu`
  - `modelSelect`
  - `parameters`
  - `sidePanel`
  - `presets`

**Notes:**

- The `interface` configurations are applied globally within the application.
- Default values are provided for most settings but can be overridden based on specific requirements or conditions.

## Model Specs Object Structure

### **Overview**

The `modelSpecs` object helps you provide a simpler UI experience for AI models within your application.

There are 3 main fields under `modelSpecs`:

  - `enforce` (optional; default: false)
  - `prioritize` (optional; default: true)
  - `list` (required)

**Notes:**

- If `enforce` is set to true, model specifications can potentially conflict with other interface settings such as `endpointsMenu`, `modelSelect`, `presets`, and `parameters`.
- The `list` array contains detailed configurations for each model, including presets that dictate specific behaviors, appearances, and capabilities.
- If interface fields are not specified, having a list of model specs will disable the following interface elements:
    - `endpointsMenu`
    - `modelSelect`
    - `parameters`
    - `presets`
- If you would like to enable these interface elements along with model specs, you can set them to `true` in the `interface` object.

### Example

??? tip "Click here to expand/collapse example"
    ```yaml
    modelSpecs:
      enforce: true
      prioritize: true
      list:
        - name: "commander_01"
          label: "Commander in Chief"
          description: "An AI roleplaying as the 50th President."
          iconURL: "https://example.com/icon.jpg"
          preset: {Refer to the detailed preset configuration example below}
    ```

### **enforce**

!!! tip "modelSpecs / enforce"

    > Determines whether the model specifications should strictly override other configuration settings.

    - Type: Boolean
    - Default: `false`
    - Example: 
      ```yaml
      modelSpecs:
        enforce: true
      ```
    - **Note**: Setting this to `true` can lead to conflicts with interface options if not managed carefully.

### **prioritize**

!!! tip "modelSpecs / prioritize"

    > Specifies if model specifications should take priority over the default configuration when both are applicable.

    - Type: Boolean
    - Default: `true`
    - Example:
      ```yaml
      modelSpecs:
        prioritize: false
      ```
    - **Note**: When set to `true`, it ensures that a modelSpec is always selected in the UI. Doing this may prevent users from selecting different endpoints for the selected spec.

### **list**

!!! tip "modelSpecs / list"

    > Contains a list of individual model specifications detailing various configurations and behaviors.

    - Type: Array of Objects
    - **Description**: Each object in the list details the configuration for a specific model, including its behaviors, appearance, and capabilities related to the application's functionality.

Each spec object in the `list` can have the following settings:

#### **Overview**

  - `name`
      - Unique identifier for the model.
  - `label`
      - A user-friendly name or label for the model, shown in the header dropdown.
  - `description`
      - A brief description of the model and its intended use or role, shown in the header dropdown menu.
  - `iconURL`
      - URL or a predefined endpoint name for the model's icon.
  - `default`
      - Specifies if this model spec is the default selection, to be auto-selected on every new chat.
  - `showIconInMenu`
      - Controls whether the model's icon appears in the header dropdown menu.
  - `showIconInHeader`
      - Controls whether the model's icon appears in the header dropdown button, left of its name.
  - `preset`
      - Detailed preset configurations that define the behavior and capabilities of the model (see preset object structure section below for more details).

### Preset Object Structure

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / version"

    > API version.

    - Type: String
    - **Optional**
    - **Example**: `"2023-12-01-preview"`
    - **Note**: It's recommended to use a custom env. variable reference for this field, i.e. `${YOUR_VARIABLE}`

#### **baseURL**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / baseURL"

    > The base URL for the Azure OpenAI Service.

    - Type: String
    - **Optional**
    - **Example**: `"https://prod.example.com"`
    - **Note**: It's recommended to use a custom env. variable reference for this field, i.e. `${YOUR_VARIABLE}`

#### **additionalHeaders**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / additionalHeaders"

    > Additional headers for API requests.

    - Type: Dictionary
    - **Optional**
    - **Example**:
      ```yaml
      additionalHeaders:
        X-Custom-Header: ${YOUR_SECRET_CUSTOM_VARIABLE}
      ```
    - **Note**: It's recommended to use a custom env. variable reference for the values of field, as shown in the example.
    - **Note**: `api-key` header value is sent on every request

#### **serverless**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / serverless"

    > Indicates the use of a serverless inference endpoint for Azure OpenAI chat completions.

    - Type: Boolean

    - **Description**: When set to `true`, specifies that the group is configured to use serverless inference endpoints as an Azure "Models as a Service" model.
    - **Example**: `serverless: true`
    - **Note**: [More info here](./azure_openai.md#serverless-inference-endpoints)

#### **addParams**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / addParams"

    > Adds additional parameters to requests.

    - Type: Object/Dictionary
    - **Description**: Adds/Overrides parameters. Useful for specifying API-specific options.
    - **Example**: 
    ```yaml
        addParams:
          safe_prompt: true
    ```

#### **dropParams**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / apiKey"

    > Removes [default parameters](#default-parameters) from requests.

    - Type: Array/List of Strings
    - **Description**: Excludes specified [default parameters](#default-parameters). Useful for APIs that do not accept or recognize certain parameters.
    - **Example**: `dropParams: ["stop", "user", "frequency_penalty", "presence_penalty"]`
    - **Note**: For a list of default parameters sent with every request, see the ["Default Parameters"](#default-parameters) Section below.

#### **forcePrompt**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / forcePrompt"

    > If `true`, sends a `prompt` parameter instead of `messages`.

    - Type: Boolean
    - Example: `forcePrompt: false`
    - **Note**: This combines all messages into a single text payload, [following OpenAI format](https://github.com/pvicente/openai-python/blob/main/chatml.md), and uses the `/completions` endpoint of your baseURL rather than `/chat/completions`.

#### **models**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / models"

    > Configuration for individual models within a group.

    - **Description**: Configures settings for each model, including deployment name and version. Model configurations can adopt the group's deployment name and/or version when configured as a boolean (set to `true`) or an object for detailed settings of either of those fields.
    - **Example**: See above example configuration.

    Within each group, models are records, either set to true, or set with a specific `deploymentName` and/or `version` where the key MUST be the matching OpenAI model name; for example, if you intend to use gpt-4-vision, it must be configured like so:

    ```yaml
    models:
      gpt-4-vision-preview: # matching OpenAI Model name
        deploymentName: "arbitrary-deployment-name"
        version: "2024-02-15-preview" # version can be any that supports vision
    ```

### Model Config Structure

Each item under `models` is part of a list of records, either a boolean value or Object:

**When specifying a model as an object:**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / models / {model_item=Object}"

    An object allows for detailed configuration of the model, including its `deploymentName` and/or `version`. This mode is used for more granular control over the models, especially when working with multiple versions or deployments under one instance or resource group.

    **Example**:
    ```yaml
    models:
      gpt-4-vision-preview:
        deploymentName: "gpt-4-vision-preview"
        version: "2024-02-15-preview"
    ```

    Notes:

    - **Deployment Names** and **Versions** are critical for ensuring that the correct model is used.
        - Double-check these values for accuracy to prevent unexpected behavior.

#### **deploymentName**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / models / {model_item=Object} / deploymentName"

    > The name of the deployment for the model.

    - Type: String
    - **Required**
    - **Example**: `"gpt-4-vision-preview"`
    - **Description**: Identifies the deployment of the model within Azure.
    - **Note**: This does not have to be the matching OpenAI model name as is convention, but must match the actual name of your deployment on Azure.

#### **version**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / models / {model_item=Object} / version"

    > Specifies the version of the model.

    - Type: String
    - **Required**
    - **Example**: `"2024-02-15-preview"`
    - **Description**: Defines the version of the model to be used.

**When specifying a model as a boolean (`true`):**

!!! tip "endpoints / azureOpenAI / groups / {group_item} / models / {model_item=true}"

    When a model is enabled (`true`) without using an object, it uses the group's configuration values for deployment name and version.

    **Example**:
    ```yaml
    models:
      gpt-4-turbo: true
    ```

### Default Parameters

Custom endpoints share logic with the OpenAI endpoint, and thus have default parameters tailored to the OpenAI API.

```json
{
  "model": "your-selected-model",
  "temperature": 1,
  "top_p": 1,
  "presence_penalty": 0,
  "frequency_penalty": 0,
  "user": "LibreChat_User_ID",
  "stream": true,
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "hi how are you",
    },
  ],
}
```
#### Breakdown
- `model`: The selected model from list of models.
- `temperature`: Defaults to `1` if not provided via preset,
- `top_p`: Defaults to `1` if not provided via preset,
- `presence_penalty`: Defaults to `0` if not provided via preset,
- `frequency_penalty`: Defaults to `0` if not provided via preset,
- `user`: A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to [monitor and detect abuse](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#chat-create-user).
- `stream`: If set, partial message deltas will be sent, like in ChatGPT. Otherwise, generation will only be available when completed.
- `messages`: [OpenAI format for messages](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#chat-create-messages); the `name` field is added to messages with `system` and `assistant` roles when a custom name is specified via preset.

**Note:** The `max_tokens` field is not sent to use the maximum amount of tokens available, which is default OpenAI API behavior. Some alternate APIs require this field, or it may default to a very low value and your responses may appear cut off; in this case, you should add it to `addParams` field as shown in the [Endpoint Object Structure](#endpoint-object-structure).
