# Environment Variables
This document provides an explanation of the environment variables used in the big-AGI application.
**All variables are optional**; and _UI options_ take precedence over _backend environment variables_,
which take place over _defaults_. This file is kept in sync with [`../src/server/env.mjs`](../src/server/env.mjs).
### Setting Environment Variables
Environment variables can be set by creating a `.env` file in the root directory of the project.
The following is an example `.env` for copy-paste convenience:
```bash
# Database (Postgres)
POSTGRES_PRISMA_URL=
POSTGRES_URL_NON_POOLING=
# Database (MongoDB)
MDB_URI=
# LLMs
OPENAI_API_KEY=
OPENAI_API_HOST=
OPENAI_API_ORG_ID=
AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_HOST=
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
GEMINI_API_KEY=
GROQ_API_KEY=
LOCALAI_API_HOST=
LOCALAI_API_KEY=
MISTRAL_API_KEY=
OLLAMA_API_HOST=
OPENPIPE_API_KEY=
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=
TOGETHERAI_API_KEY=
# Model Observability: Helicone
HELICONE_API_KEY=
# Browse
PUPPETEER_WSS_ENDPOINT=
# Search
GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY=
GOOGLE_CSE_ID=
# Text-To-Speech: ElevenLabs
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=
ELEVENLABS_API_HOST=
ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID=
# Text-To-Image: Prodia
PRODIA_API_KEY=
# Backend HTTP Basic Authentication (see `deploy-authentication.md` for turning on authentication)
HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=
HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=
# Backend Analytics Flags
BACKEND_ANALYTICS=
# Frontend variables
NEXT_PUBLIC_GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID=
NEXT_PUBLIC_PLANTUML_SERVER_URL=
```
## Backend Variables
These variables are used only by the server-side code, at runtime. Define them before running the nextjs local server (in development or
cloud deployment), or pass them to Docker (--env-file or -e) when starting the container.
### Database
To enable Chat Link Sharing, you need to connect the backend to a database. We currently support Postgres and MongoDB.
For Database configuration see [deploy-database.md](deploy-database.md).
### LLMs
The following variables when set will enable the corresponding LLMs on the server-side, without
requiring the user to enter an API key
| Variable | Description | Required |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | API key for OpenAI | Recommended |
| `OPENAI_API_HOST` | Changes the backend host for the OpenAI vendor, to enable platforms such as Helicone and CloudFlare AI Gateway | Optional |
| `OPENAI_API_ORG_ID` | Sets the "OpenAI-Organization" header field to support organization users | Optional |
| `AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT` | Azure OpenAI endpoint - host only, without the path | Optional, but if set `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` must also be set |
| `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` | Azure OpenAI API key, see [config-azure-openai.md](config-azure-openai.md) | Optional, but if set `AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT` must also be set |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | The API key for Anthropic | Optional |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_HOST` | Changes the backend host for the Anthropic vendor, to enable platforms such as AWS Bedrock | Optional |
| `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` | The API key for Deepseek AI | Optional |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | The API key for Google AI's Gemini | Optional |
| `GROQ_API_KEY` | The API key for Groq Cloud | Optional |
| `LOCALAI_API_HOST` | Sets the URL of the LocalAI server, or defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8080 | Optional |
| `LOCALAI_API_KEY` | The (Optional) API key for LocalAI | Optional |
| `MISTRAL_API_KEY` | The API key for Mistral | Optional |
| `OLLAMA_API_HOST` | Changes the backend host for the Ollama vendor. See [config-local-ollama.md](config-local-ollama.md) | |
| `OPENPIPE_API_KEY` | The API key for OpenPipe | Optional |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | The API key for OpenRouter | Optional |
| `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` | The API key for Perplexity | Optional |
| `TOGETHERAI_API_KEY` | The API key for Together AI | Optional |
### LLM Observability: Helicone
Helicone provides observability to your LLM calls. It is a paid service, with a generous free tier.
It is currently supported for:
- **Anthropic**: by setting the Helicone API key, Helicone is automatically activated
- **OpenAI**: you also need to set `OPENAI_API_HOST` to `oai.hconeai.com`, to enable routing
| Variable | Description |
|--------------------|--------------------------|
| `HELICONE_API_KEY` | The API key for Helicone |
### Features
Enable the app to Talk, Draw, and Google things up.
| Variable | Description |
|:---------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Text-To-Speech** | [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) is a high quality speech synthesis service |
| `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | ElevenLabs API Key - used for calls, etc. |
| `ELEVENLABS_API_HOST` | Custom host for ElevenLabs |
| `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID` | Default voice ID for ElevenLabs |
| **Text-To-Image** | [Prodia](https://prodia.com/) is a reliable image generation service |
| `PRODIA_API_KEY` | Prodia API Key - used with '/imagine ...' |
| **Google Custom Search** | [Google Programmable Search Engine](https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/) produces links to pages |
| `GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY` | Google Cloud API Key, used with the '/react' command - [Link to GCP](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) |
| `GOOGLE_CSE_ID` | Google Custom/Programmable Search Engine ID - [Link to PSE](https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/) |
| **Browse** | |
| `PUPPETEER_WSS_ENDPOINT` | Puppeteer WebSocket endpoint - used for browsing (pade downloadeing), etc. |
| **Backend** | |
| `BACKEND_ANALYTICS` | Semicolon-separated list of analytics flags (see backend.analytics.ts). Flags: `domain` logs the responding domain. |
| `HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME` | See the [Authentication](deploy-authentication.md) guide. Username for HTTP Basic Authentication. |
| `HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` | Password for HTTP Basic Authentication. |
### Frontend Variables
The value of these variables are passed to the frontend (Web UI) - make sure they do not contain secrets.
| Variable | Description |
|:----------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID` | The measurement ID for Google Analytics 4. (see [deploy-analytics](deploy-analytics.md)) |
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_PLANTUML_SERVER_URL` | The URL of the PlantUML server, used for rendering UML diagrams. (code in RederCode.tsx) |
> Important: these variables must be set at build time, which is required by Next.js to pass them to the frontend.
> This is in contrast to the backend variables, which can be set when starting the local server/container.
