Render Deployment

Note:

Some features will not work:

Bing/Sydney (the IP is blocked by Microsoft)
Meilisearch

Also:

You will have to create an online MongoDB Atlas Database to be able to properly deploy

Create an account

1. visit https://render.com/ and click on 'Get Started for Free` to create an account and Login

2. Go into your dashboard

3. Select New then Web Service

4. Add https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat in the public repositories section and click continue

5. Give it a unique name and continue with the free tier and click on the create web service button in the bottom of the page

6. At that point it will try to automatically deploy, you should cancel the deployment as it is not properly configured yet.

Add Environement Variables

1. Next you want to go in the Environement section of the menu to manually add the Environement Variables

You need to use the Add Environement Variables and add them one by one as adding a secret file will not work in our case.

2. You will need to copy and paste all of these:

Key	Value
ALLOW_REGISTRATION	true
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	user_provided
BINGAI_TOKEN
CHATGPT_TOKEN	user_provided
CREDS_IV	e2341419ec3dd3d19b13a1a87fafcbfb
CREDS_KEY	f34be427ebb29de8d88c107a71546019685ed8b241d8f2ed00c3df97ad2566f0
HOST	0.0.0.0
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET	secret
JWT_SECRET	secret
OPENAI_API_KEY	user_provided
PALM_KEY	user_provided
PORT	3080
SESSION_EXPIRY	(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24) * 7

⬆️ Add a single space in the value field for BINGAI_TOKEN and all other endpoints that you wish to disable.

DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES

3. Also add DOMAIN_CLIENT DOMAIN_SERVER and use the custom render address you were attributed in the value fields

Key	Value
DOMAIN_CLIENT	add your custom `onrender.com` address here
DOMAIN_SERVER	add your custom `onrender.com` address here

Create and Configure your Database

The last thing you need is to create a MongoDB Atlas Database and get your connection string.

Follow the instructions in this document: Online MongoDB Database

Complete the Environment Variables configuration

1. Go back to render.com and enter one last key / value in your Environment Variables

Key	Value
MONGO_URI	`mongodb+srv://USERNAME:[email protected]/?retryWrites=true&w=majority`

2. Important: Remember to replace <password> with the database password you created earlier (when you did step 6 of the database creation (do not leave the < > each side of the password)

3. Save Changes

4. You should now have all these variables

Deployment

1. Now click on Manual Deploy and select Deploy latest commit

2. It will take a couple of minutes

3. When it's ready you will see your service is live 🎉 in the console and the green Live icon on top
