Custom Endpoints

MyLinks supports OpenAI API compatible services using the librechat.yaml configuration file.

This guide assumes you have already set up MyLinks using Docker, as shown in the Local Setup Guide.

Step 1. Create or Edit a Docker Override File

  • Create a file named docker-compose.override.yml file at the project root (if it doesn’t already exist).
  • Add the following content to the file:
services:
  api:
    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: ./librechat.yaml
      target: /app/librechat.yaml

Learn more about the Docker Compose Override File here.

Step 2. Configure librechat.yaml

  • Create a file named librechat.yaml at the project root (if it doesn’t already exist).

  • Add your custom endpoints: you can view compatible endpoints in the AI Endpoints section.

    • The list is not exhaustive and generally every OpenAI API-compatible service should work.
    • There are many options for Custom Endpoints. View them all here: Custom Endpoint Object Structure.

  • As an example, here is a configuration for both OpenRouter and Ollama:

    version: 1.1.4
cache: true
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "OpenRouter"
      apiKey: "${OPENROUTER_KEY}"
      baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
      models:
        default: ["gpt-3.5-turbo"]
        fetch: true
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"
      summarize: false
      summaryModel: "current_model"
      forcePrompt: false
      modelDisplayLabel: "OpenRouter"
    - name: "Ollama"
      apiKey: "ollama"
      baseURL: "http://host.docker.internal:11434/v1/"
      models:
        default: [
          "llama3:latest",
          "command-r",
          "mixtral",
          "phi3"
          ]
        fetch: true # fetching list of models is not supported
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"

Step 3. Configure .env File

  • Edit your existing .env file at the project root
    • Copy .env.example and rename to .env if it doesn’t already exist.
  • According to the config above, the environment variable OPENROUTER_KEY is expected and should be set:
OPENROUTER_KEY=your_openrouter_api_key

Notes:

  • As way of example, this guide assumes you have setup Ollama independently and is accessible to you at http://host.docker.internal:11434
    • ”host.docker.internal” is a special DNS name that resolves to the internal IP address used by the host.
    • You may need to change this to the actual IP address of your Ollama instance.
  • In a future guide, we will go into setting up Ollama along with MyLinks.

Step 4. Run the App

  • Now that your files are configured, you can run the app:
docker compose up

Or, if you were running the app before, you can restart the app with:

docker compose restart

Note: Make sure your Docker Desktop or Docker Engine is running before executing the command.

Conclusion

That’s it! You have now configured Custom Endpoints for your MyLinks instance.
