💫 feat: Config File & Custom Endpoints (#1474)
* WIP(backend/api): custom endpoint

* WIP(frontend/client): custom endpoint

* chore: adjust typedefs for configs

* refactor: use data-provider for cache keys and rename enums and custom endpoint for better clarity and compatibility

* feat: loadYaml utility

* refactor: rename back to  from  and proof-of-concept for creating schemas from user-defined defaults

* refactor: remove custom endpoint from default endpointsConfig as it will be exclusively managed by yaml config

* refactor(EndpointController): rename variables for clarity

* feat: initial load custom config

* feat(server/utils): add simple `isUserProvided` helper

* chore(types): update TConfig type

* refactor: remove custom endpoint handling from model services as will be handled by config, modularize fetching of models

* feat: loadCustomConfig, loadConfigEndpoints, loadConfigModels

* chore: reorganize server init imports, invoke loadCustomConfig

* refactor(loadConfigEndpoints/Models): return each custom endpoint as standalone endpoint

* refactor(Endpoint/ModelController): spread config values after default (temporary)

* chore(client): fix type issues

* WIP: first pass for multiple custom endpoints
- add endpointType to Conversation schema
- add update zod schemas for both convo/presets to allow non-EModelEndpoint value as endpoint (also using type assertion)
- use `endpointType` value as `endpoint` where mapping to type is necessary using this field
- use custom defined `endpoint` value and not type for mapping to modelsConfig
- misc: add return type to `getDefaultEndpoint`
- in `useNewConvo`, add the endpointType if it wasn't already added to conversation
- EndpointsMenu: use user-defined endpoint name as Title in menu
- TODO: custom icon via custom config, change unknown to robot icon

* refactor(parseConvo): pass args as an object and change where used accordingly; chore: comment out 'create schema' code

* chore: remove unused availableModels field in TConfig type

* refactor(parseCompactConvo): pass args as an object and change where used accordingly

* feat: chat through custom endpoint

* chore(message/convoSchemas): avoid saving empty arrays

* fix(BaseClient/saveMessageToDatabase): save endpointType

* refactor(ChatRoute): show Spinner if endpointsQuery or modelsQuery are still loading, which is apparent with slow fetching of models/remote config on first serve

* fix(useConversation): assign endpointType if it's missing

* fix(SaveAsPreset): pass real endpoint and endpointType when saving Preset)

* chore: recorganize types order for TConfig, add `iconURL`

* feat: custom endpoint icon support:
- use UnknownIcon in all icon contexts
- add mistral and openrouter as known endpoints, and add their icons
- iconURL support

* fix(presetSchema): move endpointType to default schema definitions shared between convoSchema and defaults

* refactor(Settings/OpenAI): remove legacy `isOpenAI` flag

* fix(OpenAIClient): do not invoke abortCompletion on completion error

* feat: add responseSender/label support for custom endpoints:
- use defaultModelLabel field in endpointOption
- add model defaults for custom endpoints in `getResponseSender`
- add `useGetSender` hook which uses EndpointsQuery to determine `defaultModelLabel`
- include defaultModelLabel from endpointConfig in custom endpoint client options
- pass `endpointType` to `getResponseSender`

* feat(OpenAIClient): use custom options from config file

* refactor: rename `defaultModelLabel` to `modelDisplayLabel`

* refactor(data-provider): separate concerns from `schemas` into `parsers`, `config`, and fix imports elsewhere

* feat: `iconURL` and extract environment variables from custom endpoint config values

* feat: custom config validation via zod schema, rename and move to `./projectRoot/librechat.yaml`

* docs: custom config docs and examples

* fix(OpenAIClient/mistral): mistral does not allow singular system message, also add `useChatCompletion` flag to use openai-node for title completions

* fix(custom/initializeClient): extract env var and use `isUserProvided` function

* Update librechat.example.yaml

* feat(InputWithLabel): add className props, and forwardRef

* fix(streamResponse): handle error edge case where either messages or convos query throws an error

* fix(useSSE): handle errorHandler edge cases where error response is and is not properly formatted from API, especially when a conversationId is not yet provided, which ensures stream is properly closed on error

* feat: user_provided keys for custom endpoints

* fix(config/endpointSchema): do not allow default endpoint values in custom endpoint `name`

* feat(loadConfigModels): extract env variables and optimize fetching models

* feat: support custom endpoint iconURL for messages and Nav

* feat(OpenAIClient): add/dropParams support

* docs: update docs with default params, add/dropParams, and notes to use config file instead of `OPENAI_REVERSE_PROXY`

* docs: update docs with additional notes

* feat(maxTokensMap): add mistral models (32k context)

* docs: update openrouter notes

* Update ai_setup.md

* docs(custom_config): add table of contents and fix note about custom name

* docs(custom_config): reorder ToC

* Update custom_config.md

* Add note about `max_tokens` field in custom_config.md

# Using LibreChat with LiteLLM Proxy
Use **[LiteLLM Proxy](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy)** for:
* Calling 100+ LLMs Huggingface/Bedrock/TogetherAI/etc. in the OpenAI ChatCompletions & Completions format
* Load balancing - between Multiple Models + Deployments of the same model LiteLLM proxy can handle 1k+ requests/second during load tests
* Authentication & Spend Tracking Virtual Keys
## Start LiteLLM Proxy Server
### Pip install litellm
```shell
pip install litellm
```
### Create a config.yaml for litellm proxy
More information on LiteLLM configurations here: **[docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy)**
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_params:
model: azure/gpt-turbo-small-eu
api_base: https://my-endpoint-europe-berri-992.openai.azure.com/
api_key:
rpm: 6 # Rate limit for this deployment: in requests per minute (rpm)
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_params:
model: azure/gpt-turbo-small-ca
api_base: https://my-endpoint-canada-berri992.openai.azure.com/
api_key:
rpm: 6
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_params:
model: azure/gpt-turbo-large
api_base: https://openai-france-1234.openai.azure.com/
api_key:
rpm: 1440
```
### Start the proxy
```shell
litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
```
## Use LiteLLM Proxy Server with LibreChat
#### 1. Clone the repo
```shell
git clone https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat.git
```
#### 2. Modify Librechat's `docker-compose.yml`
```yaml
OPENAI_REVERSE_PROXY=http://host.docker.internal:8000/v1/chat/completions
```
**Important**: As of v0.6.6, it's recommend you use the `librechat.yaml` [Configuration file (guide here)](./custom_config.md) to add Reverse Proxies as separate endpoints.
#### 3. Save fake OpenAI key in Librechat's `.env`
Copy Librechat's `.env.example` to `.env` and overwrite the default OPENAI_API_KEY (by default it requires the user to pass a key).
```env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-1234
```
#### 4. Run LibreChat:
```shell
docker compose up
```
