## Nginx Reverse Proxy Note
When using Nginx as a reverse proxy for Sub2API (or CRS) with Codex CLI, add the following to the `http` block in your Nginx configuration:
```nginx
underscores_in_headers on;
```
Nginx drops headers containing underscores by default (e.g. `session_id`), which breaks sticky session routing in multi-account setups.
---
## Deployment
### Method 1: Script Installation (Recommended)
One-click installation script that downloads pre-built binaries from GitHub Releases.
#### Prerequisites
- Linux server (amd64 or arm64)
- PostgreSQL 15+ (installed and running)
- Redis 7+ (installed and running)
- Root privileges
#### Installation Steps
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api/main/deploy/install.sh | sudo bash
```
The script will:
1. Detect your system architecture
2. Download the latest release
3. Install binary to `/opt/sub2api`
4. Create systemd service
5. Configure system user and permissions
#### Post-Installation
```bash
# 1. Start the service
sudo systemctl start sub2api
# 2. Enable auto-start on boot
sudo systemctl enable sub2api
# 3. Open Setup Wizard in browser
# http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080
```
The Setup Wizard will guide you through:
- Database configuration
- Redis configuration
- Admin account creation
#### Upgrade
You can upgrade directly from the **Admin Dashboard** by clicking the **Check for Updates** button in the top-left corner.
The web interface will:
- Check for new versions automatically
- Download and apply updates with one click
- Support rollback if needed
#### Useful Commands
```bash
# Check status
sudo systemctl status sub2api
# View logs
sudo journalctl -u sub2api -f
# Restart service
sudo systemctl restart sub2api
# Uninstall
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api/main/deploy/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- uninstall -y
```
---
### Method 2: Docker Compose (Recommended)
Deploy with Docker Compose, including PostgreSQL and Redis containers.
#### Prerequisites
- Docker 20.10+
- Docker Compose v2+
#### Quick Start (One-Click Deployment)
Use the automated deployment script for easy setup:
```bash
# Create deployment directory
mkdir -p sub2api-deploy && cd sub2api-deploy
# Download and run deployment preparation script
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api/main/deploy/docker-deploy.sh | bash
# Start services
docker compose up -d
# View logs
docker compose logs -f sub2api
```
**What the script does:**
- Downloads `docker-compose.local.yml` (saved as `docker-compose.yml`) and `.env.example`
- Generates secure credentials (JWT_SECRET, TOTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY, POSTGRES_PASSWORD)
- Creates `.env` file with auto-generated secrets
- Creates data directories (uses local directories for easy backup/migration)
- Displays generated credentials for your reference
#### Manual Deployment
If you prefer manual setup:
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api.git
cd sub2api/deploy
# 2. Copy environment configuration
cp .env.example .env
chmod 600 .env
# 3. Edit configuration (generate secure passwords)
nano .env
```
**Required configuration in `.env`:**
```bash
# PostgreSQL password (REQUIRED)
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_secure_password_here
# JWT Secret (RECOMMENDED - keeps users logged in after restart)
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here
# TOTP Encryption Key (RECOMMENDED - preserves 2FA after restart)
TOTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_totp_key_here
# Optional: Admin account
ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
ADMIN_PASSWORD=your_admin_password
# Optional: Custom port
SERVER_PORT=8080
```
**Generate secure secrets:**
```bash
# Generate JWT_SECRET
openssl rand -hex 32
# Generate TOTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY
openssl rand -hex 32
# Generate POSTGRES_PASSWORD
openssl rand -hex 32
```
```bash
# 4. Create data directories (for local version)
mkdir -p data postgres_data redis_data
# 5. Start all services
# Option A: Local directory version (recommended - easy migration)
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
# Option B: Named volumes version (simple setup)
docker compose up -d
# 6. Check status
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml ps
# 7. View logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs -f sub2api
```
#### Deployment Versions
| Version | Data Storage | Migration | Best For |
|---------|-------------|-----------|----------|
| **docker-compose.local.yml** | Local directories | ✅ Easy (tar entire directory) | Production, frequent backups |
| **docker-compose.yml** | Named volumes | ⚠️ Requires docker commands | Simple setup |
**Recommendation:** Use `docker-compose.local.yml` (deployed by script) for easier data management.
#### Access
Open `http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080` in your browser.
If admin password was auto-generated, find it in logs:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs sub2api | grep "admin password"
```
#### Upgrade
```bash
# Pull latest image and recreate container
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
```
#### Easy Migration (Local Directory Version)
When using `docker-compose.local.yml`, migrate to a new server easily:
```bash
# On source server
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
cd ..
tar czf sub2api-complete.tar.gz sub2api-deploy/
# Transfer to new server
scp sub2api-complete.tar.gz user@new-server:/path/
# On new server
tar xzf sub2api-complete.tar.gz
cd sub2api-deploy/
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
```
#### Useful Commands
```bash
# Stop all services
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
# Restart
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml restart
# View all logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs -f
# Remove all data (caution!)
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
rm -rf data/ postgres_data/ redis_data/
```
---
### Method 3: Apple container (macOS)
Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 26 can run the full Sub2API, PostgreSQL, and Redis stack with Apple `container` 1.1.0 or newer:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api.git
cd sub2api/deploy
./apple-container.sh init
./apple-container.sh up
./apple-container.sh status
```
This is an operator-managed local workflow; Docker Compose remains the recommended production path. See [deploy/APPLE_CONTAINER.md](deploy/APPLE_CONTAINER.md) for lifecycle commands, persistence, upgrades, and runtime limitations.
---
### Method 4: Build from Source
Build and run from source code for development or customization.
#### Prerequisites
- Go 1.21+
- Node.js 18+
- PostgreSQL 15+
- Redis 7+
#### Build Steps
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api.git
cd sub2api
# 2. Install pnpm (if not already installed)
npm install -g pnpm
# 3. Build frontend
cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm run build
# Output will be in ../backend/internal/web/dist/
# 4. Build backend with embedded frontend
cd ../backend
VERSION="$(./scripts/resolve-version.sh)"
go build -tags embed -ldflags="-X main.Version=${VERSION}" -o sub2api ./cmd/server
# 5. Create configuration file
cp ../deploy/config.example.yaml ./config.yaml
# 6. Edit configuration
nano config.yaml
```
> **Note:** The `-tags embed` flag embeds the frontend into the binary. Without this flag, the binary will not serve the frontend UI.
**Key configuration in `config.yaml`:**
```yaml
server:
host: "0.0.0.0"
port: 8080
mode: "release"
database:
host: "localhost"
port: 5432
user: "postgres"
password: "your_password"
dbname: "sub2api"
redis:
host: "localhost"
port: 6379
username: ""
password: ""
jwt:
secret: "change-this-to-a-secure-random-string"
expire_hour: 24
default:
user_concurrency: 5
user_balance: 0
api_key_prefix: "sk-"
rate_multiplier: 1.0
```
Additional security-related options are available in `config.yaml`:
- `cors.allowed_origins` for CORS allowlist
- `security.url_allowlist` for upstream/pricing/CRS host allowlists
- `security.url_allowlist.enabled` to disable URL validation (use with caution)
- `security.url_allowlist.allow_insecure_http` to allow HTTP URLs when validation is disabled
- `security.url_allowlist.allow_private_hosts` to allow private/local IP addresses
- `security.response_headers.enabled` to enable configurable response header filtering (disabled uses default allowlist)
- `security.csp` to control Content-Security-Policy headers
- `billing.circuit_breaker` to fail closed on billing errors
- `security.trust_forwarded_ip_for_api_key_acl` enables legacy raw forwarded-header takeover (enabled by default for upgrade compatibility); disable it to enforce `server.trusted_proxies`, which should contain only the exact proxy CIDRs that connect directly to Sub2API
- `security.forwarded_client_ip_headers` configures up to 16 third-party CDN client-IP header names; they are checked in order before the built-in headers only while legacy takeover is enabled
- `turnstile.required` to require Turnstile in release mode
Custom client-IP headers can be set in YAML or as a comma-separated environment variable:
```bash
SECURITY_FORWARDED_CLIENT_IP_HEADERS=True-Client-IP,X-CDN-Client-IP
```
Header names are validated, canonicalized, and de-duplicated. The admin security settings can update the list without a restart; new installations persist YAML/environment defaults and existing installations backfill a missing database value. When legacy takeover is disabled, all custom and built-in raw forwarding headers are ignored and Gin uses only `server.trusted_proxies`. While takeover is enabled, firewall the origin to CDN/proxy addresses and make the edge overwrite every trusted client-IP header. See [`deploy/EDGE_SECURITY.md`](deploy/EDGE_SECURITY.md) for the complete migration and trust-boundary rules.
**⚠️ Security Warning: HTTP URL Configuration**
When `security.url_allowlist.enabled=false`, the system performs minimal URL validation and **allows HTTP URLs by default** (dev-friendly mode; Docker Compose deployments use the same default). For production, explicitly tighten this to HTTPS-only:
```yaml
security:
url_allowlist:
enabled: false # Disable allowlist checks
allow_insecure_http: false # HTTPS only (recommended for production)
```
**Or via environment variable:**
```bash
SECURITY_URL_ALLOWLIST_ENABLED=false
SECURITY_URL_ALLOWLIST_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=false
```
**Risks of allowing HTTP:**
- API keys and data transmitted in **plaintext** (vulnerable to interception)
- Susceptible to **man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks**
- **NOT suitable for production** environments
**When to use HTTP:**
- ✅ Development/testing with local servers (http://localhost)
- ✅ Internal networks with trusted endpoints
- ✅ Testing account connectivity before obtaining HTTPS
- ❌ Production environments (use HTTPS only)
**Example error for HTTP URLs when `allow_insecure_http: false` is set:**
```
Invalid base URL: invalid url scheme: http
```
If you disable URL validation or response header filtering, harden your network layer:
- Enforce an egress allowlist for upstream domains/IPs
- Block private/loopback/link-local ranges
- Enforce TLS-only outbound traffic
- Strip sensitive upstream response headers at the proxy
#### OpenAI Responses WebSocket ingress limits
`gateway.openai_ws` bounds the lifetime and aggregate count of client-facing
Responses WebSocket sessions. These safeguards apply independently from
per-turn user and account concurrency slots, which are released between turns.
```yaml
gateway:
openai_ws:
# Total time to receive and decompress the first client message.
client_first_message_timeout_seconds: 30
# Close a client socket idle between completed turns; 0 disables this safeguard.
ingress_inter_turn_idle_timeout_seconds: 300
# Distributed API-key limit for live client ingress sessions; 0 disables it.
max_ingress_connections_per_api_key: 64
```
The first-message timeout is a total read deadline. Deployments that accept
large contexts or image-heavy requests over slower links can raise it to
120-300 seconds. It expires before HTTP bridge routing, so bridge mode does not
override this limit.
The connection cap is coordinated through Redis using a 60-second lease that
is refreshed every 20 seconds. A process that cannot confirm a lease for a
full lease lifetime closes its local WebSocket rather than continuing outside
the global cap.
Enable the v2 mode router before selecting an account-level WS mode such as
`http_bridge`:
```yaml
gateway:
openai_ws:
mode_router_v2_enabled: true
```
Or set `GATEWAY_OPENAI_WS_MODE_ROUTER_V2_ENABLED=true` in the environment.
Use `http_bridge` for client-WebSocket/upstream-HTTP operation when rolling out
or mitigating upstream WebSocket issues.
