LibreChat Helm Chart

This Librechat Helm Chart provides an easy, light weight template to deploy LibreChat on Kubernetes

Variables

In this Chart, LibreChat will only work with environment Variables. You can Specify Vars and Secret using an existing Secret (This can be generated by creating an Env File and converting it to a Kubernetes Secret --from-env-file)

Setup

1. Generate Variables Generate CREDS_KEY, JWT_SECRET, JWT_REFRESH_SECRET and MEILI_MASTER_KEY using openssl rand -hex 32 and CREDS_IV using openssl rand -hex 16. place them in a secret like this (If you want to change the secret name, remember to change it in your helm values):

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: librechat-credentials-env
  namespace: <librechat-chart-namespace>
type: Opaque
stringData:
  CREDS_KEY: <generated value>
  JWT_SECRET: <generated value>
  JWT_REFRESH_SECRET: <generated value>
  MEILI_MASTER_KEY: <generated value>

2. Add Credentials to the Secret Dependant of the Model you want to use, create Credentials in your provider and add them to the Secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
. . . .

  OPENAI_API_KEY: <your secret value>

3. Apply the Secret to the Cluster

4. Fill out values.yaml and apply the Chart to the Cluster

Admin Panel SSO

When deploying the admin panel at a separate URL, set librechat.adminPanelUrl to the external admin panel base URL. It may include a path, but it should not end with a trailing / because LibreChat appends /auth/... callback paths.

librechat:
  adminPanelUrl: https://admin.example.com/admin

This renders ADMIN_PANEL_URL for LibreChat's admin OAuth flow. For OpenID SSO, also register this LibreChat callback URL with your identity provider:

https://<librechat-domain>/api/admin/oauth/openid/callback

Langfuse Fanout

The chart can optionally deploy an OpenTelemetry Collector that forwards tenant-scoped Langfuse traces to both a central Langfuse project and the tenant Langfuse project. It is disabled by default.

When enabled, the chart also sets LANGFUSE_FANOUT_ENABLED and LANGFUSE_FANOUT_COLLECTOR_URL for the LibreChat app unless those values are already provided in librechat.configEnv.

Set librechat.configEnv.LANGFUSE_FANOUT_TENANT_EXPORT_ENABLED=false to keep central trace export flowing through the collector while disabling tenant trace and score export.

Langfuse base URLs are startup configuration for the LibreChat server and collector. Tenant API keys can still be added through tenant app configuration at runtime without restarting either component.

See otel/langfuse-fanout/README.md for the central Langfuse secret and values example.
