Environment Variables Reference 3.8.40 2026-06-28

Environment Variables Reference

Complete reference for every environment variable recognized by OmniRoute. For a quick-start template, see .env.example.

Important

Every variable documented here must also appear in .env.example, and every variable in .env.example must appear here. npm run check:env-doc-sync enforces this on commit and in CI. To omit a variable on purpose, add it to the allowlist inside scripts/check/check-env-doc-sync.mjs.


Table of Contents


1. Required Secrets

These must be set before the first run. Without them, the application will either refuse to start or operate with insecure defaults.

Variable Required Default Source File Description
JWT_SECRET Yes (none) src/lib/auth Signs/verifies all dashboard session cookies (JWT). Generate with openssl rand -base64 48.
API_KEY_SECRET Yes (none) src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts AES encryption key for API key values at rest in SQLite. Generate with openssl rand -hex 32.
INITIAL_PASSWORD Yes CHANGEME Bootstrap script Sets the initial admin dashboard password (matches .env.example default — kept obviously insecure to force a change). Change before first use. After login, change via Dashboard → Settings → Security.
OMNIROUTE_WS_BRIDGE_SECRET Yes (production) (unset) src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts Shared secret for the internal Codex Responses WebSocket bridge. Authenticates bridge requests between the Electron/browser WS relay and OmniRoute. ⚠️ REQUIRED in production — when unset, all WS bridge requests are rejected. Generate with openssl rand -base64 32.
OMNIROUTE_PEER_STAMP_TOKEN No (auto) (auto per boot) src/server/authz/policies/management.ts Per-process secret proving the trusted peer-IP stamp came from OmniRoute's own HTTP server (scripts/dev/peer-stamp.mjs). The authz middleware trusts request locality (loopback/LAN gating of LOCAL_ONLY routes) only when the stamp carries this token. Auto-generated each boot — leave unset; only pin it for multi-process setups that must share the stamp.

Generation Commands

# Generate all four secrets at once:
echo "JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 48)"
echo "API_KEY_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
echo "INITIAL_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 16)"
echo "OMNIROUTE_WS_BRIDGE_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)"

Caution

Never commit .env files with real secrets to version control. The .gitignore already excludes .env, but verify before pushing.


2. Storage & Database

OmniRoute uses SQLite (via better-sqlite3) for all persistence. These variables control data location, encryption, and lifecycle.

Variable Default Source File Description
DATA_DIR ~/.omniroute/ src/lib/db/core.ts Root directory for SQLite DB, backups, and data files. Override for Docker volumes or custom paths.
STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY (empty = disabled) src/lib/db/encryption.ts AES key for full SQLite database encryption at rest. Generate with openssl rand -hex 32.
STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_VERSION v1 scripts/build/bootstrap-env.mjs, electron/main.js Version label for the encryption key. Increment when performing key rotation to support decryption of old backups.
DISABLE_SQLITE_AUTO_BACKUP false src/lib/db/backup.ts When true, skips the automatic database backup that runs before migrations on every startup.
OMNIROUTE_CRYPT_KEY (unset) src/lib/db/encryption.ts Legacy alias for STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY. Accepted as a fallback when the primary variable is absent.
OMNIROUTE_API_KEY_BASE64 (unset) src/lib/db/encryption.ts Legacy alias (Base64-encoded form) accepted as a fallback. Decoded automatically before use.
OMNIROUTE_DB_HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL_MS (unset) src/lib/db/core.ts Override the periodic SQLite healthcheck interval (ms). When unset, defaults are derived from NODE_ENV.
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_DB_HEALTHCHECK 0 src/lib/db/core.ts, src/lib/db/healthCheck.ts Set to 1 to skip the DB healthcheck entirely on startup. Useful for short-lived tasks and integration tests.
OMNIROUTE_FORCE_DB_HEALTHCHECK 0 src/lib/db/core.ts Set to 1 to force the DB healthcheck loop on, even when it would normally be skipped (e.g., short-lived tasks).
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL 0 scripts/postinstall.mjs Set to 1 to skip the native-runtime warm-up during npm install. Useful in CI/headless installs where sqlite is already built.
OMNIROUTE_MIGRATIONS_DIR (auto-detect) src/lib/db/migrationRunner.ts Override the directory that the migration runner scans. Useful when shipping bundled migrations in custom builds.
OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS 50 src/lib/db/migrationRunner.ts Mass-pending-migrations safety threshold (#3416). Startup aborts if more than this many migrations are pending on an existing DB (guards against a wiped tracking table). Raise it to restore an older backup; set to 0 to disable the check.
OMNIROUTE_SPEND_FLUSH_INTERVAL_MS (default in code) src/lib/spend/batchWriter.ts Flush interval (ms) for the batched spend/cost writer. Lower values reduce write coalescing; higher values reduce DB contention.
OMNIROUTE_SPEND_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (default in code) src/lib/spend/batchWriter.ts Max buffered spend entries before a forced flush. Raise on high-QPS deployments; lower when bounded memory matters more.
OMNIROUTE_PROXY_FETCH_DEBUG (unset) open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts Set to "true" to emit [ProxyFetch] debug logs on the Vercel relay path. Off by default to avoid leaking routing hints.
BATCH_RETRY_DURATION_MS 86400000 (24h) open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts Maximum retry window for individual batch items (ms). Items exceeding this duration are marked failed.
BATCH_BACKOFF_BASE_MS 5000 open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts Base delay (ms) for exponential backoff on batch item retries.
BATCH_BACKOFF_MAX_MS 3600000 (1h) open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts Cap (ms) for exponential backoff between batch item retries.
BATCH_MAX_CONCURRENT 1 open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts Maximum number of batches processed concurrently. Raise to increase throughput; keep low to avoid rate-limit storms.

Scenarios

Scenario Configuration
Local development Leave all defaults. DB lives at ~/.omniroute/omniroute.db.
Docker DATA_DIR=/data + mount a volume at /data.
Encrypted at rest Set STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY + keep backups of the key! Losing it = losing data.
CI/Testing DATA_DIR=/tmp/omniroute-test — ephemeral, no encryption needed.

3. Network & Ports

Variable Default Source File Description
PORT 20128 src/lib/runtime/ports.ts Primary port for both Dashboard UI and API endpoints (single-port mode).
OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH (empty = root) next.config.mjs URL subpath for serving OmniRoute behind a reverse proxy under a subpath (sets Next.js basePath; auth redirects are basePath-aware). E.g. /omniroute.
API_PORT (unset) src/lib/runtime/ports.ts When set, serves the /v1/* proxy API on this separate port.
API_HOST 0.0.0.0 src/lib/runtime/ports.ts Bind address for the API port.
DASHBOARD_PORT (unset) src/lib/runtime/ports.ts When set, serves the Dashboard UI on this separate port.
PROD_DASHBOARD_PORT 20130 docker-compose.prod.yml Host-side published port for the Dashboard in Docker production mode.
PROD_API_PORT 20131 docker-compose.prod.yml Host-side published port for the API in Docker production mode.
OMNIROUTE_PORT (unset) src/lib/runtime/ports.ts Takes precedence over PORT when running inside Electron or other wrappers.
LIVE_WS_PORT 20129 src/server/ws/liveServer.ts Port for the real-time WebSocket live monitoring server.
LIVE_WS_HOST 127.0.0.1 src/server/ws/liveServer.ts Bind address for the live WebSocket server. Set to 0.0.0.0 to expose on LAN (also configure LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS).
LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (unset) src/server/ws/liveServer.ts Comma-separated extra origins allowed to open a live WebSocket. Loopback dashboard origins are already permitted by default.
LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_HOSTS (unset) src/server/ws/liveServerAllowList.ts Comma-separated extra hostnames allowed for live WebSocket origins. Unlike LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (full origin URLs), matches only the host portion — useful for LAN/Tailscale setups.
NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL (unset) src/hooks/useLiveDashboard.ts Public URL for the live dashboard WebSocket (browser-side). Set when fronting the WS server with a reverse proxy or Cloudflare Tunnel (e.g. wss://ws.my-ai.com/live-ws); the browser connects there instead of ws://hostname:20129.
OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS true src/server/ws/liveServer.ts Set to 0 or false to disable the real-time WebSocket server (enabled by default, loopback-bound).
OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS false scripts/start-ws-server.mjs CI/harness toggle that disables the standalone live WebSocket helper script.
RELAY_IP_PER_MINUTE 30 src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/route.ts Per-(token, IP) relay rate limit, requests/minute. In-memory, per instance. 0 or negative disables the IP-dimension gate (per-token DB limit still applies).
NODE_ENV production Next.js core Controls logging verbosity, caching, error detail exposure, and Next.js optimizations.
OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK 1 (Turbopack — code default) package.json / Next.js 16 Turbopack is the default bundler for npm run dev and npm run build (2-3× faster builds, benchmarked). Set to 0 to fall back to webpack on Windows or when running into native binding / bundler-compat incompatibilities.
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_DB_HEALTHCHECK (unset) src/lib/db/core.ts / src/lib/db/healthCheck.ts Set to 1 to skip the SQLite integrity health check on startup. Useful for faster boot on large databases.
CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL 300000 open-sse/config/constants.ts / src/lib/credentialHealth/scheduler.ts Interval (ms) for the background credential health check scheduler. Minimum: 10000 (10s).
CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CACHE_TTL 300000 open-sse/config/constants.ts / src/lib/credentialHealth/cache.ts TTL (ms) for cached credential health status.
OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CHECK false src/lib/credentialHealth/scheduler.ts Set to 1 or true to disable background periodic testing of provider connections.
HOST 0.0.0.0 scripts/dev/run-next.mjs Bind address for the Next.js dev/start server. Overrides the default 0.0.0.0 when set.
HOSTNAME 127.0.0.1 scripts/dev/run-next-playwright.mjs Bind address used by the Playwright runner when launching Next.js. Defaults to 127.0.0.1 for hermetic tests. Do not use for omniroute serve — use OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST instead (POSIX shells auto-set HOSTNAME to the machine name; .env cannot override it).
OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST 0.0.0.0 bin/cli/commands/serve.mjs Bind address for omniroute serve. Avoids collision with the POSIX shell HOSTNAME variable (always set to the machine name by bash/zsh). Falls back to 0.0.0.0 when unset. (#6194)

4. Security & Authentication

Variable Default Source File Description
MACHINE_ID_SALT endpoint-proxy-salt src/lib/auth Salt combined with hardware identifiers for machine fingerprinting. Change per-deployment for isolation.
OMNIROUTE_CLI_SALT omniroute-cli-auth-v1 src/lib/machineToken.ts HMAC salt for deriving the local CLI auth token. Changing this value rotates all CLI tokens on the machine. See docs/security/CLI_TOKEN.md.
AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE false src/lib/auth Sets the Secure flag on session cookies. Must be true when running behind HTTPS.
REQUIRE_API_KEY false API middleware When true, all /v1/* proxy requests must include a valid API key.
ALLOW_API_KEY_REVEAL false src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts Allows revealing full API key values in the Dashboard UI. Configurable from Dashboard Feature Flags; security risk on shared instances.
NO_LOG_API_KEY_IDS (empty) src/lib/compliance/index.ts Comma-separated API key IDs that bypass request logging (GDPR compliance).
DEFAULT_RATE_LIMIT_PER_DAY 1000 src/shared/utils/apiKeyPolicy.ts Fallback per-day request budget applied to API keys whose rate_limits column is null. Default (unset/empty/malformed) keeps the legacy 1000/day, 5000/week, 20000/month windows. Set explicitly to 0 to opt out (unlimited). Any positive integer N enables N/day, 5N/week, 20N/month. Zod-validated; invalid values log a warning and use the legacy default.
MAX_BODY_SIZE_BYTES 10485760 (10 MB) src/shared/middleware/bodySizeGuard.ts Maximum allowed request body size. Rejects payloads exceeding this limit.
OMNIROUTE_CHAT_LARGE_BODY_BYTES 262144 (256 KB) src/shared/middleware/chatBodyAdmission.ts Heap-pressure admission threshold for POST /v1/chat/completions (#5152). Bodies below this are always admitted and never sample the heap; at or above it the heap-pressure check applies.
OMNIROUTE_CHAT_HARD_MAX_BODY_BYTES 52428800 (50 MB) src/shared/middleware/chatBodyAdmission.ts Chat-route hard cap. Bodies larger than this are rejected with 413 before being cloned/parsed, regardless of heap state.
OMNIROUTE_CHAT_HEAP_SHED_RATIO 0.75 src/shared/middleware/chatBodyAdmission.ts Shed a large chat body with 503 + Retry-After once heapUsed / heap_size_limit reaches this ratio (0 < r < 1). Turns a process-wide V8 OOM under concurrent large compacts into a single graceful client retry; a healthy heap admits every body untouched.
OMNIROUTE_MAX_NONSTREAMING_RESPONSE_BYTES 67108864 (64 MB) open-sse/handlers/chatCore/nonStreamingResponseBody.ts Hard cap for a non-streaming upstream response buffered fully into memory. Past this the upstream reader is cancelled and the request fails fast instead of growing an unbounded string until the heap is exhausted.
CORS_ORIGIN (unset) src/server/cors/origins.ts Legacy single-origin CORS allowlist. Prefer CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS for new deployments. CORS is only for cross-origin browser API clients; authenticated dashboard writes use same-origin requests plus session-bound CSRF protection instead.
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (unset) src/server/cors/origins.ts Comma-separated CORS allowlist. No wildcard is sent unless CORS_ALLOW_ALL=true is explicitly configured.
CORS_ALLOW_ALL false src/server/cors/origins.ts Development-only escape hatch to echo any browser Origin. Do not enable on shared or production deployments.
OUTBOUND_SSRF_GUARD_ENABLED true src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts Block provider calls targeting private/loopback/link-local IP ranges. Disable only in isolated test envs.
OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS false src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts Allow provider URLs pointing to private/local networks (localhost, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.). REQUIRED for self-hosted providers (LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, Llamafile, Triton, SearXNG). When false, the dashboard rejects validation of local URLs.
OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_LOCAL_PROVIDER_URLS true src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts Allow adding/validating providers on local/private addresses (127.0.0.1, localhost, LAN, private ranges) — scoped to the provider validation path. Default true (local-first); set false to enforce strict public-only blocking. Cloud-metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal) stay blocked regardless. (#5066)

Hardening Checklist

# Production security minimum:
AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE=true        # Requires HTTPS
REQUIRE_API_KEY=true           # Authenticate all proxy calls
ALLOW_API_KEY_REVEAL=false     # Never expose keys in UI
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://your.domain.com
MAX_BODY_SIZE_BYTES=5242880    # 5 MB limit

5. Input Sanitization & PII Protection

OmniRoute provides a two-layer defense: request-side injection scanning and response-side PII stripping.

Request-Side: Prompt Injection Guard

Variable Default Source File Description
INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED true src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts Enable scanning of incoming messages for prompt injection patterns.
INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE warn src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts warn = log only, block = reject request with 400, redact = strip suspicious patterns.
INJECTION_GUARD_MODE (unset) src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts Legacy alias for INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE — same behavior.
PII_REDACTION_ENABLED false src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts Detect PII (emails, phones, SSNs) in incoming requests.

Response-Side: PII Sanitizer

Variable Default Source File Description
PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION false src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts Scan LLM responses for leaked PII before returning to client.
PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION_MODE redact src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts redact = mask PII, warn = log only, block = drop entire response.

VS Code Tokenized-Route Context Sanitizer

Variable Default Source File Description
OMNIROUTE_VSCODE_SANITIZE_CONTEXT 1 src/app/api/v1/vscode/contextSanitizer.ts Strips implicit active-editor context (editorContext, activeEditor, currentFile, selection, openTabs…) from /v1/vscode/[token]/* requests and redacts content of explicitly-attached sensitive files. Secure-by-default; set to 0 to disable.

Scenarios

Scenario Configuration
Enterprise compliance INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED=true, INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE=block, PII_REDACTION_ENABLED=true, PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION=true
Monitoring only INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED=true, INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE=warn — logs but never blocks
Personal use Leave all disabled — zero overhead

6. Tool & Routing Policies

Variable Default Source File Description
TOOL_POLICY_MODE disabled src/lib/toolPolicy.ts Controls LLM tool/function-calling access. allowlist = only listed tools, denylist = all except listed, disabled = no restrictions.
OMNIROUTE_PAYLOAD_RULES_PATH ./config/payloadRules.json open-sse/services/payloadRules.ts Path to payload manipulation rules JSON file (per-model/protocol upstream tweaks).
OMNIROUTE_PAYLOAD_RULES_RELOAD_MS 5000 open-sse/services/payloadRules.ts Reload interval (ms) for hot-reloading the payload rules file. Minimum 1000.
OMNIROUTE_PREFER_CLAUDE_CODE_FOR_UNPREFIXED_CLAUDE_MODELS false open-sse/services/model.ts Opt-in: route bare claude-* model IDs from Claude Code clients through the Claude Code OAuth account instead of requiring a provider prefix. Explicit provider prefixes still win. Also configurable via a dashboard toggle on the Claude provider page.

7. URLs & Cloud Sync

Variable Default Source File Description
BASE_URL http://localhost:20128 src/lib/cloudSync.ts Server-side URL for internal sync jobs to call /api/sync/cloud. Keep this as a loopback/container URL even when the app is publicly proxied.
CLOUD_URL (empty) src/lib/cloudSync.ts Cloud relay endpoint URL (premium feature).
CLOUD_SYNC_TIMEOUT_MS 12000 src/lib/cloudSync.ts HTTP timeout for cloud sync requests.
OMNIROUTE_BUILD_PROFILE full Webpack build config Build-time profile (set to minimal to physically exclude privileged modules from bundle).
OMNIROUTE_CLOUD_SYNC_SECRET (empty) src/lib/cloudSync.ts Shared secret used to verify the HMAC-SHA256 signature of Cloud Sync responses.
OMNIROUTE_CLOUD_SYNC_SECRETS false src/lib/cloudSync.ts Set to true to allow the Cloud Sync endpoint to overwrite local credentials. Default is false.
OMNIROUTE_ZED_IMPORT_LEGACY_ONE_STEP false src/app/api/providers/zed/import/route.ts Set to true to fall back to the v3.8.5 one-step "import everything" behavior without user confirmation.
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL http://localhost:20128 OAuth, Dashboard, sync Public-facing URL for OAuth redirect_uri, Dashboard links, and generated public URLs. Set this to the stable public URL when OAuth callbacks or generated browser links must use a canonical reverse-proxy host.
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL (empty) Client-side Client-side mirror of CLOUD_URL.
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL (unset) src/shared/services/cloudSyncScheduler.ts Legacy fallback for NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL.
OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (unset) Public-origin resolver, image URLs Highest-priority browser-facing OmniRoute origin used for public URL generation and non-dashboard browser-origin validation (for example /v1/chatgpt-web/image/<id>). Set this when OpenWebUI or another relay reaches OmniRoute by an internal URL but the user's browser must fetch images from a LAN, tunnel, or public origin. Do not include /v1.
OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL (unset) open-sse/config/providerPluginManifestUrl.ts Absolute provider plugin manifest URL advertised to sidecar clients. When unset, OmniRoute derives /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest from request origin or HOST/PORT.
OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_PROTOCOL http open-sse/config/providerPluginManifestUrl.ts Protocol used when deriving the provider plugin manifest URL from HOST/PORT without a request origin. Set to https behind a TLS-terminating public proxy when no explicit OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL is set.
OMNIROUTE_TRUST_PROXY (unset) src/server/origin/publicOrigin.ts Optional trust mode for forwarded public-origin headers. Unset = do not trust Forwarded / X-Forwarded-* for security decisions. true / loopback trusts forwarded host/proto only from a token-stamped loopback proxy. private / lan also trusts private-LAN proxy peers. Prefer explicit NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL in production.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_IMAGE_TIMEOUT_MS 180000 (3 min) open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts Max wait time for an async chatgpt-web image to land via the celsius WebSocket. Increase during upstream queue-deep windows.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_IMAGE_CACHE_MAX_MB 256 open-sse/services/chatgptImageCache.ts Total in-memory byte budget (MB) for the chatgpt-web image cache serving /v1/chatgpt-web/image/<id>. Lower on memory-constrained hosts; raise if image generation is heavy and clients race the 30-minute TTL.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_PRO_TIMEOUT_MS 1200000 (20 min) open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts Overall wait budget for a chatgpt-web GPT-5.5 Pro background-poll handoff. Pro reasoning runs complete out-of-band, so OmniRoute polls until the answer lands or this budget elapses. Raise if Pro requests time out before finishing.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_PRO_POLL_INTERVAL_MS 4000 (4s) open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts Interval between chatgpt-web GPT-5.5 Pro background-poll attempts. Lower for snappier completion at the cost of more upstream polling; raise to reduce request volume.
THEOLDLLM_NAV_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 (30s) open-sse/executors/theoldllm.ts Playwright navigation timeout (ms) for the browser-backed token capture used by the The Old LLM (theoldllm) free provider. Raise on slow networks if the relay page is slow to settle.
KIE_CALLBACK_URL (unset) open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts Public callback URL for asynchronous kie.ai jobs. Highest-priority override before OMNIROUTE_KIE_CALLBACK_URL and OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_URL.
OMNIROUTE_KIE_CALLBACK_URL (unset) open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts Alternate spelling of KIE_CALLBACK_URL. Falls back when the primary variable is unset.
OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_URL (unset) open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts Public origin used to compose async callback URLs. Lowest-priority fallback for kie.ai callbacks; also used as a generic public URL for other relays.
OMNIROUTE_CROF_USAGE_URL https://crof.ai/usage_api/ open-sse/services/usage.ts CrofAI quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_QUOTA_URL https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/quota open-sse/services/opencodeQuotaFetcher.ts OpenCode (zen/go) quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_QUOTA_URL https://api.z.ai/api/monitor/usage/quota/limit open-sse/services/usage.ts OpenCode Go quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_DASHBOARD_URL https://opencode.ai/workspace open-sse/services/usage.ts OpenCode Go dashboard base URL used for quota scraping when a workspace ID and auth cookie are configured. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OPENCODE_GO_WORKSPACE_ID (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts OpenCode Go workspace ID used for dashboard quota scraping. Prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_WORKSPACE_ID (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts Alternate OpenCode Go workspace ID env var used before the shorter alias. Prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OPENCODE_GO_AUTH_COOKIE (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts OpenCode Go auth cookie used for dashboard quota scraping. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS false open-sse/executors/opencode.ts Opt-in: synthesize OpenCode CLI identity headers (User-Agent, x-opencode-client/project, request/session UUIDs) on opencode-go/zen upstream requests the client didn't send, so Cloudflare on VPS egress accepts them (#6210/#5997). Off by default (forward-only is safer).
OPENCODE_USER_AGENT opencode-cli/1.0.0 open-sse/executors/opencode.ts Default User-Agent used when OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS is on and no per-provider <PROVIDER>_USER_AGENT override is set. Only applied to opencode executors.
OPENCODE_CLIENT cli open-sse/executors/opencode.ts Value for the synthesized x-opencode-client header when OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS is on.
OPENCODE_PROJECT default open-sse/executors/opencode.ts Value for the synthesized x-opencode-project header when OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS is on.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_AUTH_COOKIE (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts Alternate OpenCode Go auth cookie env var used before the shorter alias. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OLLAMA_CLOUD_USAGE_URL https://ollama.com/settings open-sse/services/usage.ts Ollama Cloud settings URL used for quota scraping. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OLLAMA_USAGE_COOKIE (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie used for settings-page quota scraping. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OLLAMA_CLOUD_USAGE_COOKIE (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts Alternate Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie env var. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OLLAMA_USAGE_COOKIE (unset) open-sse/services/usage.ts Alternate Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie env var used before the shorter aliases. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_CODEWHISPERER_BASE_URL https://codewhisperer.us-east-1.amazonaws.com open-sse/services/usage.ts CodeWhisperer (AWS Kiro) usage limits endpoint. Override for relays / test fixtures.

Important

When deploying behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy), set NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL to your stable public URL (e.g., https://omniroute.example.com) when OAuth callbacks or generated public links must use that hostname. Without this, OAuth callbacks can fail because the redirect_uri won't match and generated public links can point at the internal container origin.

Keep BASE_URL as an internal loopback/container URL for server-to-server jobs. Do not use a browser Origin or public hostname for credential-bearing internal self-fetches.

Authenticated dashboard writes do not require a static public base URL: the dashboard sends same-origin unsafe requests with a session-bound CSRF token. OmniRoute still centralizes public-origin validation for non-dashboard browser integrations: explicit public URL env vars are trusted first; raw Forwarded / X-Forwarded-* headers are ignored unless OMNIROUTE_TRUST_PROXY is enabled and the immediate proxy peer is token-stamped as trusted. Do not use CORS settings to fix same-origin dashboard requests; CORS is only for cross-origin browser clients.


8. Outbound Proxy

Route upstream LLM provider calls through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy for egress control, geo-routing, or IP masking.

Variable Default Source File Description
ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY true open-sse/executors Enable SOCKS5 proxy agent for upstream calls. Opt-out with false.
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY true Client-side Client-side awareness of SOCKS5 availability.
HTTP_PROXY (unset) Node.js standard HTTP proxy for upstream calls.
HTTPS_PROXY (unset) Node.js standard HTTPS proxy for upstream calls.
ALL_PROXY (unset) Node.js standard Universal proxy (supports socks5://).
NO_PROXY (unset) Node.js standard Comma-separated hostnames/IPs to bypass the proxy.
OMNIROUTE_PROXY_DISPATCHER_CONNECTIONS 32 open-sse/utils/proxyDispatcher.ts Max concurrent sockets per cached HTTP/SOCKS proxy dispatcher. Long-lived SSE streams such as Codex /v1/responses need more than one connection when several requests share the same account-level proxy. Values above 256 are capped.
SOCKS_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS 10000 open-sse/utils/socksConnectorWithFamily.ts SOCKS5 handshake (connect) timeout in ms. Raise it when a single residential gateway host is hit by high concurrency (e.g. 100 simultaneous requests) — the real handshake can exceed 10s under a saturated pool even though the proxy is reachable, which otherwise surfaces as a false [Proxy Fast-Fail] Proxy unreachable. Capped at 120000.
PROXY_FAIL_OPEN false src/sse/handlers/chatHelpers.ts When false (default), a request whose assigned proxy fails to resolve is refused (fail-closed) rather than falling back to a direct connection — prevents real-IP leaks. Set true to restore the legacy DIRECT fallback.
ENABLE_TLS_FINGERPRINT false open-sse/executors Spoof TLS fingerprint using wreq-js (mimics Chrome 124). Counters JA3/JA4 blocking.
OMNIROUTE_TURNSTILE_IGNORE_TLS_ERRORS false open-sse/services/claudeTurnstileSolver.ts Allow the Claude Turnstile Playwright browser context to ignore HTTPS certificate errors.

Scenarios

Scenario Configuration
SOCKS5 through SSH tunnel ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890, ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY=true
Corporate HTTP proxy HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.corp.com:3128, HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.corp.com:3128, NO_PROXY=localhost,internal.corp.com
Anti-fingerprint ENABLE_TLS_FINGERPRINT=true — requires wreq-js (included)
Egress-controlled / no direct access Leave PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=false (default). Requests fail hard when the proxy is unavailable instead of leaking via direct.
Legacy / dev — allow direct fallback PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true. Restores pre-hardening behaviour: direct connection used when proxy resolution fails.

Note (NVIDIA validation bypass — #3226): NVIDIA's API-key validation endpoint stalls when routed through the global proxy/TLS-patched fetch (undici dispatcher → 504). src/lib/providers/validation.ts::directHttpsRequest() intentionally bypasses the proxy patch for that one validation call using safeOutboundFetch({ bypassProxyPatch: true }). This is a documented, scoped exception — it does not affect chat/usage egress. The bypass is scope-pinned by tests/unit/proxy-bypass-scope-guard-3226.test.ts.

CLI_AUGGIE_BIN auggie open-sse/executors/auggie.ts Alias override for the Augment (Auggie) CLI binary path (checked after AUGGIE_BIN).
HERMES_HOME ~/.hermes src/lib/cli-helper/config-generator/hermesHome.ts Hermes Agent home directory where OmniRoute reads/writes the Hermes CLI config. Matches the env var the Hermes PowerShell installer sets on Windows (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes).

CLI Profile Auto-Sync

These feature flags are opt-in and default off. They can also be toggled from the CLI Code dashboard.

Variable Default Source File Description
OMNIROUTE_AUTO_SYNC_CODEX_PROFILES false src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts After a provider model sync, automatically rewrites ~/.codex/*.config.toml profile files from the live catalog. Requires CLI_ALLOW_CONFIG_WRITES; never changes the active/default Codex config, auth, Codex-lb settings, or provider choice.

Requires CLI_ALLOW_CONFIG_WRITES; never changes the active/default Claude config, auth, or provider choice.

Docker Example

# Mount host binaries into the container and tell OmniRoute where they are:
CLI_EXTRA_PATHS=/host-cli/bin
CLI_CONFIG_HOME=/root
CLI_ALLOW_CONFIG_WRITES=true
CLI_CLAUDE_BIN=/host-cli/bin/claude

MODEL_SYNC_INTERVAL_HOURS 24 src/shared/services/modelSyncScheduler.ts Model catalog sync interval in hours.
PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_INTERVAL_MINUTES 70 src/server-init.ts Provider rate-limit and quota polling interval.
PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS 1500 src/lib/usage/providerLimits.ts Gap (ms) between consecutive OAuth quota fetches in a bulk sync; OAuth connections are fetched one at a time to avoid bursting an upstream. 0 opts out (concurrent).
OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS 250 open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts Min interval (ms) between consecutive upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight/monitor path (e.g. Codex /wham/usage); spaces concurrent network calls so many accounts on one IP don't burst the upstream (#6009). Cache hits unaffected. 0 disables; clamped 0..5000.
PROVIDER_LIMITS_POST_USAGE_REFRESH_DELAY_MS 5000 src/lib/usage/providerLimits.ts Delay (ms) before refreshing provider limits after a real usage event, giving the upstream quota API time to register consumption.

COMPRESSION_PREFIX_FREEZE_ENABLED false open-sse/services/compression/prefixFreeze.ts T08/H5 usage-observed prefix freeze master switch. Opt-in (default off) — when on, a system prompt observed >= the threshold is treated as a stable cacheable prefix and preserved from compression even for providers the static cache heuristic misses (freeze only preserves, never mutates).
COMPRESSION_PREFIX_FREEZE_THRESHOLD 3 open-sse/services/compression/prefixFreeze.ts Observations of a system prompt before it is treated as a frozen stable prefix.
OMNIROUTE_BOOTSTRAPPED false src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/page.tsx Set true by bootstrap script after initial setup. Controls setup wizard visibility.

11. OAuth Provider Credentials

Built-in credentials for localhost development. For remote deployments, register your own at each provider's developer console.

Variable Provider Notes
CLAUDE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID Claude Code (Anthropic) Public client — no secret needed.
CLAUDE_CODE_REDIRECT_URI Claude Code Override redirect URI. Default: https://platform.claude.com/oauth/code/callback
CODEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID Codex / OpenAI Public client.

WINDSURF_FIREBASE_API_KEY Windsurf / Devin (v3.8) Public Firebase Web API key used by Windsurf's Secure Token Service to refresh short-lived browser-flow tokens. Client-side credential (not a secret). Long-lived import tokens skip this entirely. Source: extracted from Devin CLI binary.
WINDSURF_API_KEY Windsurf / Devin (v3.8) API key fallback used by open-sse/executors/devin-cli.ts when no per-connection credential is available. Optional.
CLI_DEVIN_BIN Devin CLI (v3.8) Custom path to the Devin CLI binary (devin). Resolved by open-sse/executors/devin-cli.ts.
GITLAB_DUO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID GitLab Duo (v3.8) OAuth client ID for GitLab Duo. Register an app at https://gitlab.com/-/profile/applications with redirect URI <NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL>/callback and scopes api, read_user, openid, profile, email. Falls back to GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID.
GITLAB_DUO_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET GitLab Duo (v3.8) OAuth client secret for GitLab Duo. Optional — PKCE flow does not require a secret. Falls back to GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET.
GITLAB_DUO_BASE_URL GitLab Duo (v3.8) Override GitLab base URL (self-hosted GitLab). Defaults to https://gitlab.com. Falls back to GITLAB_BASE_URL.
GITLAB_BASE_URL GitLab Duo (v3.8) Legacy fallback for GITLAB_DUO_BASE_URL. Used when the _DUO_ variant is unset.
GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID GitLab Duo (v3.8) Legacy fallback for GITLAB_DUO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID consumed by src/lib/oauth/constants/oauth.ts.

QODER_CLI_WORKSPACE Qoder Workspace ID for Qoder CLI.
OMNIROUTE_QODER_WORKSPACE Qoder Alias for QODER_CLI_WORKSPACE.
QODER_CLI_CONFIG_DIR Qoder Override the Qoder CLI config dir (isolated PAT session, avoids clobbering a browser login).
BLACKBOX_WEB_VALIDATED_TOKEN Blackbox Web Frontend tk token to send as validated on /api/chat. Required when Blackbox enforces token matching; otherwise OmniRoute falls back to a random UUID. See issue #2252.
VISION_BRIDGE_BASE_URL Vision Bridge guardrail OpenAI-compatible base URL for non-Anthropic vision-bridge calls. Defaults to the legacy OpenAI URL env or api.openai.com. Point at OmniRoute's /v1 self-loop or any OpenAI-compat endpoint (Gemini OpenAI-compat, OpenRouter). Issue #2232.
VISION_BRIDGE_API_KEY Vision Bridge guardrail API key for the URL above. Overrides per-provider OpenAI / Google env vars for non-Anthropic vision-bridge calls. Anthropic models keep their dedicated Anthropic key path. Issue #2232.

Warning

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console → Credentials
  2. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (type: "Web application")
  3. Add your server URL as Authorized redirect URI
  4. Replace the credential values in .env.

12. Provider User-Agent Overrides

Override the User-Agent header sent to each upstream provider. This is dynamically resolved at runtime by the executor base class:

process.env[`${PROVIDER_ID}_USER_AGENT`]

Source: open-sse/executors/base.tsbuildHeaders()

Variable Default Value When to Update
CLAUDE_USER_AGENT claude-cli/2.1.195 (external, cli) When Anthropic releases a new CLI version
CLAUDE_DISABLE_TOOL_NAME_CLOAK false executors/base.ts + executors/cliproxyapi.ts Set to 1/true to forward third-party harness tool names verbatim to Anthropic on both Anthropic-bound paths (native OAuth and CLIProxyAPI). By default the executor deterministically aliases non-Claude-Code tool names (Claude Code canonical mapping where one exists, otherwise PascalCase) and reverses them on the response via _toolNameMap, so harnesses with snake_case tools are not refused as fingerprinted third-party clients. Debugging only.
CODEX_USER_AGENT codex-cli/0.142.0 (Windows 10.0.26200; x64) When OpenAI updates the Codex CLI
CODEX_CLIENT_VERSION 0.131.0 Override Codex client version independently of full UA string
GITHUB_USER_AGENT GitHubCopilotChat/0.54.0 When GitHub Copilot Chat updates
ANTIGRAVITY_USER_AGENT antigravity/2.0.1 darwin/arm64 When Antigravity IDE updates
KIRO_USER_AGENT AWS-SDK-JS/3.0.0 kiro-ide/1.0.0 When Kiro IDE updates
KIRO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID kiro-cli Override the Kiro social device-code clientId (public id)
KIRO_VERIFY_FULL_CRC false Opt-in: full per-frame message CRC validation on the Kiro event stream (debug corrupted streams)
QODER_USER_AGENT Qoder-Cli When Qoder CLI updates
QWEN_USER_AGENT QwenCode/0.19.3 (linux; x64) When Qwen Code updates
CURSOR_USER_AGENT Cursor/3.3 When Cursor updates

Tip

You can add User-Agent overrides for any provider using the pattern {PROVIDER_ID}_USER_AGENT. The executor dynamically constructs the env var name.


13. CLI Fingerprint Compatibility

When enabled, OmniRoute reorders HTTP headers and JSON body fields to match the exact signature of official CLI tools. This reduces the risk of account flagging while preserving your proxy IP.

Source: open-sse/config/cliFingerprints.ts, open-sse/executors/base.ts

Per-Provider

Variable Activation Effect
CLI_COMPAT_CODEX =1 Mimics Codex CLI request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CLAUDE =1 Mimics Claude Code request signature
CLI_COMPAT_GITHUB =1 Mimics GitHub Copilot request signature
CLI_COMPAT_ANTIGRAVITY =1 Mimics Antigravity request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CURSOR =1 Mimics Cursor request signature
CLI_COMPAT_KIMI_CODING =1 Mimics Kimi Coding request signature
CLI_COMPAT_KILOCODE =1 Mimics Kilo Code request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CLINE =1 Mimics Cline request signature
CLI_COMPAT_QWEN =1 Mimics Qwen Code request signature

Global

Variable Activation Effect
CLI_COMPAT_ALL =1 Enable fingerprint compatibility for all providers at once.

Kimi Coding CLI identity overrides

Variable Default Source File Description
KIMI_CLI_VERSION 1.36.0 src/lib/oauth/providers/kimi-coding.ts Override the Kimi CLI version sent during OAuth/API calls.
KIMI_CODING_DEVICE_ID (captured default) src/lib/oauth/providers/kimi-coding.ts Override the captured Kimi device ID used in client headers.

Note

This feature works alongside the User-Agent overrides (§12). The fingerprint system handles header ordering and body field ordering, while User-Agent overrides handle the specific UA string. Both can be enabled independently.


14. API Key Providers

API keys for providers that use direct authentication. Preferred setup: Dashboard → Providers → Add API Key.

Setting via environment variables is an alternative for Docker or headless deployments.

Recognized pattern: {PROVIDER_ID}_API_KEY

Variable Provider
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY DeepSeek
NVIDIA_API_KEY NVIDIA NIM

Note

Static ${PROVIDER}_API_KEY entries for Groq, xAI, Mistral, Perplexity, Together AI, Fireworks, Cerebras, Cohere, Nebius, and Qianfan were removed in v3.8.0 because the runtime no longer reads them — those providers rely exclusively on Dashboard / data/provider-credentials.json / the encrypted DB. See the Audit: Removed / Dead Variables section at the bottom of this document for the migration path.

Tip

Keys set via the Dashboard are stored encrypted in SQLite and take precedence over environment variables.


15. Timeout Settings

All values are in milliseconds. Centralized resolution in src/shared/utils/runtimeTimeouts.ts.

Timeout Hierarchy

REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (global override)
├─→ FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS (upstream provider calls, default: 600000)
│   ├─→ FETCH_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS)
│   ├─→ FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS)
│   ├─→ TLS_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS)
│   ├── FETCH_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS (independent, default: 30000)
│   └── FETCH_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS (independent, default: 4000)
├─→ STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS, default: 600000)
├─→ STREAM_READINESS_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS, default: 80000)
├─→ STREAM_READINESS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS (caps adaptive readiness extensions, default: 180000)
└─→ API_BRIDGE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS (inherits from REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS, default: 30000)
    ├─→ API_BRIDGE_SERVER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (derived, default: 300000)
    ├── API_BRIDGE_SERVER_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS (default: 60000)
    ├── API_BRIDGE_SERVER_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS (default: 5000)
    └── API_BRIDGE_SERVER_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MS (default: 0 = disabled)
Variable Default Description
REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (unset) Global shortcut — overrides both FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS and STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS defaults.
FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS 600000 Total HTTP request timeout for upstream provider calls.
STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS 600000 Max silence between SSE chunks before aborting. Extended-thinking models rarely pause >90s.
STREAM_READINESS_TIMEOUT_MS 80000 Time to receive the first non-ping SSE event. Inherits REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS when set.
STREAM_READINESS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS 180000 Maximum adaptive first-event readiness window for large, tool-heavy, or high-reasoning streaming requests.
OMNIROUTE_AGENT_GOAL_POLICY_ENABLED true Kill-switch for the /goal heuristic. Set false/0/off to fully disable detection — readiness timeouts and stream recovery are never elevated by request body/headers, mitigating client-controlled timeout amplification.
OMNIROUTE_AGENT_GOAL_READINESS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS 600000 Maximum first-event readiness window for detected /goal agent runs or requests forced with x-omniroute-agent-goal.
OMNIROUTE_AGENT_GOAL_STREAM_RECOVERY true Enable early stream recovery automatically for detected /goal agent runs. Set false/0/off to disable the goal-specific opt-in. This can only ADD recovery on top of the operator default — it never overrides an explicit STREAM_RECOVERY_ENABLED/DB settings opt-out.
OMNIROUTE_CODEX_DROP_NONSTANDARD_EVENTS (off) Strip non-standard codex.* SSE events (e.g. codex.rate_limits) that break the OpenAI SDK's responses.stream() with a 502. Set true/1/yes to enable.
FETCH_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS = FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS Time to receive response headers.
FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS = FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS Time to receive the full response body.
FETCH_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 TCP connection establishment timeout.
FETCH_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS 4000 Keep-alive socket idle timeout.
TLS_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_MS = FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS TLS fingerprint proxy (wreq-js) timeout.
API_BRIDGE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 Proxy hop timeout for /v1 bridge requests.
FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL https://api.firecrawl.dev Point the Firecrawl web-fetch executor at a self-hosted instance (API key optional off-cloud).
FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 Per-request timeout for the Firecrawl web-fetch executor.
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS 300000 Overall server request timeout for the bridge.
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS 60000 Time to send response headers via the bridge.
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS 5000 Bridge keep-alive idle timeout.
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MS 0 Raw socket timeout (0 = disabled).
SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 Grace period on SIGTERM/SIGINT before force-exit.
OMNIROUTE_DEFAULT_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS 120000 Fallback used by src/shared/utils/fetchTimeout.ts when FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS is unset.
OMNIROUTE_CHATGPT_TLS_TIMEOUT_MS 60000 Wire-level timeout for the bogdanfinn/tls-client koffi binding (chatgptTlsClient.ts).
OMNIROUTE_CHATGPT_TLS_GRACE_MS 10000 JS-side grace added on top of the wire timeout when the native binding is wedged.
OMNIROUTE_CHATGPT_STREAM_FIRST_BYTE_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 (30s) Max wait for the first streamed byte from the ChatGPT TLS sidecar (chatgptTlsClient.ts) before aborting a dead stream. Raise if upstream cold-starts exceed the window.
OMNIROUTE_CLAUDE_TLS_TIMEOUT_MS 60000 Wire-level timeout for the bogdanfinn/tls-client koffi binding (claudeTlsClient.ts).
OMNIROUTE_CLAUDE_TLS_GRACE_MS 10000 JS-side grace added on top of the wire timeout when the native binding is wedged.

OMNIROUTE_PPLX_TLS_GRACE_MS 10000 JS-side grace added on top of the wire timeout when the native binding is wedged.
OMNIROUTE_GROK_TLS_TIMEOUT_MS 60000 Wire-level timeout for the bogdanfinn/tls-client koffi binding (grokTlsClient.ts).
OMNIROUTE_GROK_TLS_GRACE_MS 10000 JS-side grace added on top of the wire timeout when the native binding is wedged.
OMNIROUTE_BROWSER_POOL on Shared Playwright browser pool for browser-backed web-cookie chat (browserPool.ts); set off to disable.
WEB_COOKIE_USE_BROWSER 0 Opt a web-cookie chat request into the browser-backed path (browserBackedChat.ts); 1 to enable.

Combo target attempts inherit the resolved upstream request timeout (FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS, or REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS when it supplies the fetch default). Set targetTimeoutMs in a combo, combo defaults, or provider override only to make combo fallback faster; values above the current upstream timeout are capped to the upstream timeout.

Circuit Breaker Thresholds

CHAT_LOG_MAX_OBJECT_KEYS 80 Max object keys retained in chat log payloads (0 = unlimited).
CHAT_DEBUG_FILE false When true, serializeArtifactForStorage skips size-based truncation. Debug only.

17. Memory Optimization

Variable Default Description
OMNIROUTE_MEMORY_MB auto Runtime V8 heap limit (MB). When unset, calibrated dynamically (~35% of system RAM, clamped to [512, 4096]); 512 is only the floor when total memory can't be read. Set explicitly to override. Docker standalone and omniroute serve use it to set --max-old-space-size.

Embedding layer, vector store and reranking knobs for the persistent memory subsystem (src/lib/memory/).

Variable Default Description
MEMORY_EMBEDDING_CACHE_TTL_MS 300000 (5 min) TTL for the in-memory embedding cache (per source/model/dim signature).
MEMORY_EMBEDDING_CACHE_MAX 1000 Max LRU entries kept in the embedding cache.
MEMORY_TRANSFORMERS_MODEL Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 HF repo id for the opt-in @huggingface/transformers local MiniLM pipeline (~23 MB int8, ~400 MB RAM).
MEMORY_STATIC_MODEL minishlab/potion-base-8M HF repo id for the static potion/Model2Vec lookup-table embedder. Downloaded lazily into the cache dir.

MEMORY_TYPED_DECAY_ACCESS_IMMUNITY 3 A memory injected >= this many times becomes immune to decay regardless of type. 0 disables access immunity.
MEMORY_TYPED_DECAY_SWEEP_INTERVAL 0 (disabled) Interval (seconds) for the optional periodic decay sweep in src/lib/memory/typedDecay.ts. 0/unset = no periodic sweep. Doubly opt-in: also requires MEMORY_TYPED_DECAY_ENABLED=true.

Low-RAM Docker Example

OMNIROUTE_MEMORY_MB=128
PROMPT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE=20
PROMPT_CACHE_MAX_BYTES=524288        # 512 KB

CONTEXT_WINDOW_RECONCILE_INTERVAL 86400 (24h) src/lib/contextWindowResolver.ts Interval (seconds) for the self-correcting context-window reconciler (5004): pins provider-declared windows from /models discovery as auto:discovery overrides when they diverge from the catalog. Set to 0 to disable. Reuses already-synced data (no new fetch); never overwrites manual overrides.

20. Provider-Specific Settings

Variable Default Source File Description
OPENROUTER_CATALOG_TTL_MS 86400000 (24h) src/lib/catalog/openrouterCatalog.ts OpenRouter model catalog cache TTL.
MODEL_CATALOG_INCLUDE_NAMES true src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts Include display-friendly name fields in /v1/models responses. Disable for clients that expect IDs only.

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDFLARE_RELAY_DEFAULT_PROJECT omniroute-relay src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/CloudflareRelayModal.tsx Default worker project name suggested in the proxy-pool "Deploy Relay" modal.
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDFLARE_RELAY_ENABLED true src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/ProxyPoolTab.tsx Set to false to hide the Cloudflare Workers relay option from the Proxy Pool tab.
CLOUDFLARED_BIN auto-detect src/lib/cloudflaredTunnel.ts Custom path to cloudflared binary.
DENO_DEPLOY_API_BASE https://api.deno.com/v2 src/app/api/settings/proxy/deno-deploy/route.ts Override the Deno Deploy REST API base used by the proxy-pool relay deployer (#4643 / 9router#1437).
NEXT_PUBLIC_DENO_RELAY_DEFAULT_PROJECT omniroute-deno-relay src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/DenoRelayModal.tsx Default Deno Deploy app name suggested in the proxy-pool "Deploy Relay" modal.
NEXT_PUBLIC_DENO_RELAY_ENABLED true src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/ProxyPoolTab.tsx Set to false to hide the Deno Deploy relay option from the Proxy Pool tab.
SEARCH_CACHE_TTL_MS 300000 (5 min) open-sse/services/searchCache.ts TTL for search API (Perplexity, Brave, etc.) response caching.
ALLOW_MULTI_CONNECTIONS_PER_COMPAT_NODE false src/app/api/providers/route.ts Allow multiple simultaneous connections per OpenAI-compatible provider.
ENABLE_CC_COMPATIBLE_PROVIDER false src/shared/utils/featureFlags.ts Reveal the experimental CC-compatible provider UI for Claude Code-only relays.
NINEROUTER_HOST 127.0.0.1 open-sse/executors/ninerouter.ts Override the host where the embedded 9router instance listens.
NINEROUTER_PORT 20130 open-sse/executors/ninerouter.ts Override the port where the embedded 9router instance listens.

LOCAL_HOSTNAMES (empty) open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts Comma-separated additional hostnames treated as "local" (Docker service names, etc.).

ENABLE_CC_COMPATIBLE_PROVIDER is only for third-party relays that accept Claude Code clients exclusively. OmniRoute rewrites requests so those relays accept them. If you only want to use Claude Code CLI, or you are not sure what these relays are, keep this disabled and add a regular Anthropic-compatible provider instead.


21. Proxy Health

Variable Default Source File Description
PROXY_FAST_FAIL_TIMEOUT_MS 2000 src/lib/proxyHealth.ts Fast-fail health check timeout.
PROXY_HEALTH_CACHE_TTL_MS 30000 src/lib/proxyHealth.ts Health check result cache TTL.
PROXY_HEALTH_UNHEALTHY_CACHE_TTL_MS 2000 src/lib/proxyHealth.ts Cache TTL for failed proxy health probes. Keep this shorter than PROXY_HEALTH_CACHE_TTL_MS so transient proxy timeouts under high concurrency retry quickly without disabling fast-fail for truly dead proxies.
PROXY_HEALTH_ENABLED true src/lib/proxyHealth/scheduler.ts Set false to disable the background proxy health scheduler that periodically probes registered proxies.
PROXY_HEALTH_INTERVAL_MS 600000 src/lib/proxyHealth/scheduler.ts Background health-scheduler sweep interval in ms (minimum 60000).
PROXY_HEALTH_TEST_URL https://httpbin.org/ip src/lib/proxyHealth/scheduler.ts Reachability probe target used by the scheduler and the /api/settings/proxies/auto-test endpoint. Point it at an internal/self-hosted URL to avoid the public default.
PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE false src/lib/proxyHealth/statusPolicy.ts When false (default), automated reachability probes (the scheduler + the /api/settings/proxies/auto-test "Test All" button) are read-only and never write a proxy's status — only the operator sets active/inactive, so a flaky probe can't strand an assigned proxy (#6246). Set true to restore the legacy test-and-set behaviour.
PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE false src/lib/proxyHealth/scheduler.ts Set true to let the scheduler auto-remove proxies after repeated consecutive failures.
PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER 3 src/lib/proxyHealth/scheduler.ts Consecutive failures before the scheduler auto-removes a proxy (when PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true).
OMNIROUTE_CONTROL_PLANE_PROXY_DIRECT_FALLBACK false src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts Allow OAuth and provider validation flows to bypass a pinned proxy and connect directly when proxy reachability pre-checks fail. Effective precedence is Feature Flags DB override > env var > default.
RATE_LIMIT_MAX_WAIT_MS 120000 (2 min) open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts Max time to wait on a 429 before failing the request.
RATE_LIMIT_AUTO_ENABLE (unset) open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts Force the auto-enable rate limit safety net on/off regardless of the persisted Dashboard setting. Accepts true/1/on to force on, false/0/off to force off.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED (unset → off) open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts Opt-in global cross-request provider/connection cooldown tracking. OFF by default (overlaps Connection Cooldown / Provider Circuit Breaker). Accepts true/1/on to enable.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_MIN_MS 5000 open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts Minimum cooldown (ms) before a failed provider/connection is retried. Scaled exponentially with consecutive failures. Only used when PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_MAX_MS 300000 (5 min) open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts Maximum cooldown (ms) cap before a failed provider/connection is retried regardless. Only used when PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED.
STREAM_RECOVERY_ENABLED (unset → off) src/lib/resilience/settings.ts (seed) → open-sse/services/streamRecovery.ts (logic) What: transparent recovery of truncated upstream streams (free-claude-code port). Holds the opening SSE window up to STREAM_RECOVERY.HOLDBACK_MS (750 ms) so a pre-commit cutoff — one that happens before any byte reaches the client — is re-opened and retried invisibly. When to enable: flaky/upstreams that frequently 0-byte-truncate at stream start; leave OFF if you cannot afford up to 750 ms of added time-to-first-token on every stream. Accepts true/1/on. Seeds the persisted Resilience setting; the Dashboard setting wins once set.
STREAM_RECOVERY_MIDSTREAM_ENABLED (unset → off) src/lib/resilience/settings.ts (seed) → open-sse/services/streamRecovery.ts (logic) What: mid-stream continuation (Fase 4.4) — after a post-commit truncation (bytes already reached the client), re-request with the partial text as an assistant prefill and stitch the missing suffix. Plain-text OpenAI-compatible streams only; never fires with a tool call in flight. When to enable: long generations that get cut mid-answer and you accept the recovered tail arriving as one burst rather than token-by-token. Independent of STREAM_RECOVERY_ENABLED (different risk profile). Accepts true/1/on.
HEALTHCHECK_STAGGER_MS 3000 src/lib/tokenHealthCheck.ts Stagger interval (ms) between provider token healthchecks at startup.
REQUEST_RETRY 2 src/sse/services/cooldownAwareRetry.ts Number of automatic retries on model-scoped cooldown responses before returning error to client.
MAX_RETRY_INTERVAL_SEC 30 src/sse/services/cooldownAwareRetry.ts Max backoff interval (seconds) between cooldown retries. Capped by this value regardless of upstream Retry-After.
HEADROOM_URL http://localhost:8787 src/lib/headroom/detect.ts Headroom token-saver proxy URL. The dashboard lifecycle (api/headroom/*) spawns a local headroom-ai CLI on loopback by default; override only to point at an external Docker sidecar proxy.

Stream-recovery tuning constants (not env vars)

The two STREAM_RECOVERY_* flags above are the only operator-facing toggles. The recovery behavior is otherwise tuned by hardcoded constants in open-sse/config/constants.ts (STREAM_RECOVERY), shown here for reference — changing them requires a code edit, not an env var:

  • STREAM_RECOVERY.HOLDBACK_MS = 750 — how long the opening SSE window is held so an early truncation can be retried before any byte is committed to the client.
  • STREAM_RECOVERY.BUFFER_MAX_BYTES = 65536 — hard cap on the held window; commit (flush + passthrough) as soon as this many bytes accumulate, regardless of the timer.
  • STREAM_RECOVERY.EARLY_RETRY_MAX = 4 — max transparent re-opens of the upstream stream while the holdback is still uncommitted.

Per-provider sliding-window rate limit (no env var): the FCC-ported per-provider sliding-window rate-limit fallback exists in code (open-sse/services/providerDefaultRateLimit.ts, wired through open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts) but ships with an empty default map and has no operator env var today — it is enabled only via a test hook / code edit. It is intentionally not listed in the table above. The per-(token, IP) relay limiter that does have a knob is RELAY_IP_PER_MINUTE (§3 Network & Ports).


22. Debugging

Caution

These variables produce verbose output and may leak sensitive data. Never enable in production.

Variable Default Source File Description
CURSOR_DEBUG (unset) open-sse/executors/cursor.ts Set 1 to enable verbose Cursor executor logs (decoded SSE chunks, etc.).

CURSOR_IMAGE_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS 15000 open-sse/utils/cursorImages.ts Per-image fetch timeout (ms) for remote image_url vision input.
CURSOR_STATE_DB_PATH (probed) open-sse/utils/cursorVersionDetector.ts Override the Cursor state DB lookup used for version detection.

24. Skills Sandbox (v3.8.0+)

Limits and safety knobs applied when the Skills framework (src/lib/skills/) executes user-defined automations in a sandboxed environment.

Variable Default Source File Description
SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS 10000 (10 s) src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Per-execution wall-clock timeout for sandboxed skill code. Hard cap; anything longer is killed.
SKILLS_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_MS (falls back to SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS) src/lib/skills/ High-level skill orchestration timeout. Set higher than SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS to allow multi-step workflows.
SKILLS_MAX_FILE_BYTES 1048576 (1 MB) src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Max bytes a skill may read from any single sandboxed file.
SKILLS_MAX_HTTP_RESPONSE_BYTES 256000 (250 KB) src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Max bytes captured from any single HTTP response inside a skill.
SKILLS_MAX_SANDBOX_OUTPUT_CHARS 100000 src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Hard cap on stdout/stderr characters returned from a sandbox invocation.
SKILLS_SANDBOX_NETWORK_ENABLED false src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Set 1/true to allow outbound network from inside the sandbox. Defaults to isolated for safety.
SKILLS_ALLOWED_SANDBOX_IMAGES (empty) src/lib/skills/builtins.ts Comma-separated allowlist of container images permitted for sandbox execution. Empty means built-in default only.
SKILLS_SANDBOX_DOCKER_IMAGE (built-in default) src/lib/skills/ Container image used when spawning a Docker-backed sandbox. Override to pin a custom hardened base image.

Caution

Enabling SKILLS_SANDBOX_NETWORK_ENABLED=true opens an egress path from arbitrary skill code. Pair with OUTBOUND_SSRF_GUARD_ENABLED=true and a strict CORS_ORIGIN/proxy policy in shared deployments.


25. Provider Quotas, Tunnels, Backups & Misc Runtime

Provider quota endpoints, network tunnels (Tailscale, Ngrok, MITM debug proxy), the 1Proxy egress pool, database backups and small per-feature overrides referenced by the executor layer or scripts.

Variable Default Source File Description
REDIS_URL redis://localhost:6379 src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts Redis connection string for the rate limiter backend.
ALIBABA_CODING_PLAN_HOST (production host) open-sse/services/bailianQuotaFetcher.ts Override the host used to fetch Alibaba Bailian coding-plan quotas.
ALIBABA_CODING_PLAN_QUOTA_URL derived from host open-sse/services/bailianQuotaFetcher.ts Full quota URL override for Alibaba Bailian.
CONTEXT_RESERVE_TOKENS 1024 open-sse/services/contextManager.ts Tokens reserved for completion output when computing prompt budgets.
MODEL_ALIAS_COMPAT_ENABLED enabled open-sse/services/model.ts Toggle the legacy model-alias compatibility layer used by older clients.
OMNIROUTE_EMERGENCY_FALLBACK enabled open-sse/services/emergencyFallback.ts Set false (or 0) to disable the emergency budget-exhaustion fallback that reroutes failed requests to the free nvidia/openai/gpt-oss-120b model. Effective precedence is Feature Flags DB override > env var > default; if unavailable, the service falls back to the raw env value.
COMMAND_CODE_CALLBACK_PORT (unset) src/app/api/providers/command-code/auth/shared.ts Local port used for OAuth-style callbacks from the Command Code CLI helper.
COMMAND_CODE_VERSION 0.33.2 open-sse/executors/commandCode.ts Value sent as the x-command-code-version header to the Command Code upstream. Override to bump the CLI version.
MITM_LOCAL_PORT 443 src/mitm/server.cjs Local bind port for the MITM debug proxy.
MITM_DISABLE_TLS_VERIFY 0 src/mitm/server.cjs Set 1 to disable upstream TLS verification (development only).
MITM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS 60000 src/mitm/socketTimeouts.ts, src/mitm/server.cjs Idle socket timeout (ms) for proxied connections; idle sockets past this are torn down to avoid leaking half-open tunnels.
MITM_VERBOSE 1 src/mitm/server.cjs, src/mitm/_internal/bypass.cjs Routing-decision log verbosity: 0 silences, higher values log more bypass/route decisions.
OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO 0 src/mitm/systemCommands.ts Set 1 (truthy) to strip the leading sudo from MITM cert-trust commands — for root-less / user-namespaced deployments where the operator trusts the CA manually (e.g. via Node's extra-CA-certs mechanism).
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST 0 src/mitm/cert/install.ts, src/mitm/tproxy/caTrust.ts Test/CI-only guard: set 1 to make cert trust install/uninstall a no-op so the suite never mutates the OS trust store. Set automatically by the test setup and CI workflows.
CHANGELOG_BASE_REF (auto) scripts/check/check-changelog-integrity.mjs Explicit base ref for the anti CHANGELOG-eat gate (defaults to the PR base branch in CI, or the highest release/v*).
ALLOW_CHANGELOG_REMOVALS 0 scripts/check/check-changelog-integrity.mjs Set 1 to turn intentional CHANGELOG bullet removals into a report instead of a failure (justify in the PR body).
ONEPROXY_ENABLED true src/lib/oneproxySync.ts Enable the 1Proxy egress pool sync.
ONEPROXY_API_URL https://1proxy-api.aitradepulse.com src/lib/oneproxySync.ts 1Proxy service API URL override.
ONEPROXY_MAX_PROXIES 500 src/lib/oneproxySync.ts Maximum proxies imported per sync.
ONEPROXY_MIN_QUALITY_THRESHOLD 50 src/lib/oneproxySync.ts Minimum quality score for imported proxies.

Default OFF makes :free mean "free tier only".
AGENTBRIDGE_UPSTREAM_CA_CERT (unset) src/mitm/manager.ts Extra CA certificate (PEM) trusted for AgentBridge upstream TLS connections.
INSPECTOR_BUFFER_SIZE 1000 src/mitm/inspector/buffer.ts Max captured requests held in the Traffic Inspector ring buffer.
INSPECTOR_MAX_BODY_KB 1024 src/mitm/inspector/buffer.ts Max captured request/response body size (KB) before truncation.

BIFROST_ENABLED 1 src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts Master kill switch for the bifrost sidecar proxy. When set to 0, the route returns 503 with the X-Bifrost-Killswitch header and the operator is bounced to the TS path. Use to disable the sidecar without redeploying (tier-1 router incident, key rotation).
BIFROST_BASE_URL (unset) src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts When set, the Bifrost sidecar proxy route forwards /v1/chat/completions traffic to this Go gateway instead of the TS relay handler. Unset → 503-with-fallback. Trailing slash is stripped.
BIFROST_PORT 8080 src/lib/services/bootstrap.ts Port the supervised Bifrost embedded service binds to (127.0.0.1:<port>) when OmniRoute manages the Bifrost sidecar lifecycle. Defaults to 8080.
BIFROST_API_KEY (unset) src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts API key for the Bifrost gateway (sent as Authorization: Bearer ...). If unset, the route expects the request to carry a valid OmniRoute API key; this key is for gateway-side auth only.
BIFROST_STREAMING_ENABLED true src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts When true, the Bifrost sidecar route streams responses back via SSE through the gateway rather than the TS streaming executor. Set to 0 to force non-streaming JSON responses through the gateway.
BIFROST_TIMEOUT_MS 30000 src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts Per-request timeout when proxying to the Bifrost gateway (ms). On timeout the route returns the TS relay path via the X-Bifrost-Fallback header.
OMNIROUTE_BIFROST_KEY (unset) src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts Alias for BIFROST_API_KEY (used by scripts that read the env via OMNIROUTE_*). BIFROST_API_KEY takes precedence when both are set.
OMNIROUTE_RELAY_BACKEND ts / auto src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/routingBackend.ts Relay backend for /api/v1/relay/chat/completions: ts | bifrost | auto. ts = TypeScript relay (default when Bifrost unconfigured); auto selects Bifrost when BIFROST_BASE_URL is set and BIFROST_ENABLED0, with automatic TS fallback if the sidecar is unreachable; bifrost forces Bifrost (strict, no fallback). Auth/rate-limit/injection-guard/allowlist always run in the Next route first. Responses carry X-Routing-Backend / X-Routing-Fallback.
RELAY_ROUTING_BACKEND (unset) src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/routingBackend.ts Accepted alias for OMNIROUTE_RELAY_BACKEND (same ts | bifrost | auto values). OMNIROUTE_RELAY_BACKEND takes precedence when both are set.
OMNIROUTE_BIFROST_FAILURE_COOLDOWN_MS 5000 src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrostCooldown.ts Cooldown (ms) after a Bifrost sidecar hop fails in auto mode before the relay re-attempts the sidecar; it routes straight to the TS path while the cooldown lasts, then probes again. 0 disables. Only applies when OMNIROUTE_RELAY_BACKEND=auto.
OMNIROUTE_TLS_CERT (unset) bin/cli/commands/serve.mjs Path to a PEM TLS certificate to serve omniroute serve over HTTPS (equivalent to --tls-cert). Must be paired with OMNIROUTE_TLS_KEY; the standalone server then terminates TLS on the same listener (wss:// works unchanged). Unset → plain HTTP. Providing only one of cert/key, or an unreadable path, logs a warning and stays HTTP.
OMNIROUTE_TLS_KEY (unset) bin/cli/commands/serve.mjs Path to the PEM TLS private key for omniroute serve HTTPS (equivalent to --tls-key). Must be paired with OMNIROUTE_TLS_CERT. See OMNIROUTE_TLS_CERT.
OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_ENABLED 0 src/lib/security/localEndpoints.ts Master switch for /api/local/* routes. When unset or 0, all /api/local/* routes return 503 in production. Must be 1 in non-loopback deploys to enable the Redis launcher and similar 1-click local service starters. Belt-and-suspenders with isLocalOnlyPath() route-guard classification (LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES in src/server/authz/routeGuard.ts).
OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_TOKEN (unset) src/lib/security/localEndpoints.ts Bearer token for /api/local/* callers that aren't on loopback (e.g. the desktop app). When set, requests from non-loopback IPs must carry Authorization: Bearer <token>. Required when OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_ENABLED=1 in non-loopback deployments.
OMNIROUTE_REDIS_CONTAINER_NAME omniroute-redis bin/cli/commands/redis.mjs Container name for the 1-click Redis launcher (omniroute redis up). Used by both the CLI and the RedisLauncherPanel GUI.
OMNIROUTE_REDIS_HOST_PORT 6379 bin/cli/commands/redis.mjs Host port for the 1-click Redis launcher. Bump if the host already binds 6379. The container's internal port stays 6379.
OMNIROUTE_REDIS_IMAGE redis:7-alpine bin/cli/commands/redis.mjs Redis image used by the 1-click Redis launcher. Override to redis:8-alpine or a private registry mirror as needed.
QDRANT_HOST qdrant (opt-in cluster profile) Hostname of the Qdrant sidecar when --profile memory is active. Default points to the in-network qdrant service name; override for an external deployment. Only consumed when qdrantEnabled is true in code (src/lib/memory/vectorStore.ts:108).
QDRANT_PORT 6333 (opt-in cluster profile) REST port of the Qdrant sidecar.
QDRANT_GRPC_PORT 6334 (opt-in cluster profile) gRPC port of the Qdrant sidecar. Used by client libraries that prefer gRPC over REST for streaming ops.
QDRANT_API_KEY (unset) (opt-in cluster profile) Optional API key for Qdrant Cloud or an authenticated on-prem instance. Empty → no api-key header sent.
QDRANT_COLLECTION omniroute-memory (opt-in cluster profile) Collection name for OmniRoute's conversation memory embeddings. Created on first run with QDRANT_VECTOR_SIZE dimensions.
QDRANT_EMBEDDING_MODEL text-embedding-3-small (opt-in cluster profile) Default embedding model name recorded in the Qdrant collection metadata. Actual embeddings are generated by whatever provider the embeddingModel field in OmniRoute's settings points to.
QDRANT_VECTOR_SIZE 1536 (opt-in cluster profile) Embedding vector dimension. Must match the model you embed with (text-embedding-3-small → 1536; ada-002 → 1536; nomic-embed-text → 768).
QDRANT_HNSW_EF_CONSTRUCT 128 (opt-in cluster profile) HNSW index construction-time accuracy. Higher = slower build, faster search.

Docs translation pipeline

Used by scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs (the npm run i18n:run command). All five variables are unset by default — set them in .env only on machines that should be able to run the docs translator.

Audit: Removed / Dead Variables

The following variables appeared in previous versions of .env.example but have no runtime references in the current codebase. They have been removed:

Variable Reason
STORAGE_DRIVER=sqlite Never read by any source file. SQLite is the only supported driver — no selection needed.
INSTANCE_NAME=omniroute Present in old docs/env templates but unused at runtime. May return in a future multi-instance feature.
SQLITE_MAX_SIZE_MB=2048 Not referenced in source code. Database size is not artificially limited.
SQLITE_CLEAN_LEGACY_FILES=true Not referenced in source code. Legacy cleanup was likely removed.
CLI_ROO_BIN Not registered in src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts.
CLI_KIMI_CODING_BIN Not registered in src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts (Kimi Coding uses OAuth, not a CLI binary).
IFLOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / IFLOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET Not referenced anywhere in source code.
CEREBRAS_API_KEY / COHERE_API_KEY / FIREWORKS_API_KEY / GROQ_API_KEY / MISTRAL_API_KEY / NEBIUS_API_KEY / PERPLEXITY_API_KEY / TOGETHER_API_KEY / XAI_API_KEY Removed in v3.8.0. The runtime no longer reads these env vars — credentials come from Dashboard / data/provider-credentials.json / encrypted DB.
CURSOR_PROTOBUF_DEBUG Removed in v3.8.0. Cursor executor uses CURSOR_DEBUG / CURSOR_STREAM_DEBUG (see §22).
CLI_COMPAT_KIRO Removed in v3.8.0. Kiro is in CLI_COMPAT_OMITTED_PROVIDER_IDS — its toggle has no effect.
QIANFAN_API_KEY Removed alongside other unused provider API key stubs in v3.8.0.

Default Value Corrections

Variable Old .env.example Value Actual Code Default Fixed
APP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS 90 7 Removed misleading value; documented 7 as default
CALL_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS 90 7 Removed misleading value; documented 7 as default

OpenCode config regeneration (ad-hoc tooling)

Used by scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts to regenerate an opencode.json with accurate limit.context and limit.output values pulled from the running OmniRoute instance. None of these are required for normal operation — the script is developer tooling only.

OMNIROUTE_KEY (unset) scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts API key to authenticate against the OmniRoute /v1/models endpoint. Falls back to OPENCODE_API_KEY when unset.
OPENCODE_API_KEY (unset) scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts OpenCode-style API key (sk-...) written into the regenerated opencode.json. Falls back to OMNIROUTE_KEY when unset.

Compression offline-eval harness (ad-hoc tooling)

Used by scripts/compression-eval/index.ts, the offline compression evaluation CLI. Not required for normal operation — developer tooling only.

Variable Default Source File Description
OMNIROUTE_EVAL_CREDENTIALS {} (empty) scripts/compression-eval/index.ts Operator-supplied JSON credentials for the provider exercised by the offline compression-eval CLI (parsed with JSON.parse). Leave unset for a dry run.
