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-env-doc-sync.mjs.

Audit: Removed / Dead Variables

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_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).
`API_PORT`	(unset)	`src/lib/runtime/ports.ts`	When set, serves the `/v1/*` proxy API on this separate port.

`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.
`OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS`	`false`	`src/server/ws/liveServer.ts`	Set to `1` or `true` to enable the real-time WebSocket server (disabled by default).
`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` (default in `.env.example`)	`package.json` / Next.js 16	Toggles the Next.js 16 Turbopack bundler in `npm run dev` and `npm run build`. Set to `0` on Windows or when running into native binding 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.

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`	Dashboard providers page	Allows revealing full API key values in the Dashboard UI. 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.
`CORS_ORIGIN`	`*`	Next.js middleware	CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` value. Restrict for production.
`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.

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_ORIGIN=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`	`false`	`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.

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_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. Must match your public URL behind reverse proxy.
`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)	`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts`	Browser-facing OmniRoute origin used for image URLs in API responses (e.g., `/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_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.
`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_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_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), NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL must be set to your public URL (e.g., https://omniroute.example.com). Without this, OAuth callbacks will fail because the redirect_uri won't match.

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.

[!WARNING] Google OAuth (Antigravity, Gemini CLI) credentials only work on localhost. For remote servers:

Go to Google Cloud Console → Credentials

Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (type: "Web application")

Add your server URL as Authorized redirect URI

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.ts → buildHeaders()

Variable	Default Value	When to Update
`CLAUDE_USER_AGENT`	`claude-cli/2.1.145 (external, cli)`	When Anthropic releases a new CLI version
`CLAUDE_DISABLE_TOOL_NAME_CLOAK`	`false`	`executors/base.ts` + `executors/cliproxyapi.ts`
`CODEX_USER_AGENT`	`codex-cli/0.132.0 (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/0.45.1`	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)
`QODER_USER_AGENT`	`Qoder-Cli`	When Qoder CLI updates
`QWEN_USER_AGENT`	`QwenCode/0.15.9 (linux; x64)`	When Qwen Code updates
`CURSOR_USER_AGENT`	`Cursor/3.3`	When Cursor updates
`GEMINI_CLI_USER_AGENT`	`google-api-nodejs-client/10.3.0`	When Google API client 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

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.

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.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
`OMNIROUTE_URL`	`http://localhost:20128`	`scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts`	Base URL of the OmniRoute instance to query for `/v1/models`.
`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.

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-env-doc-sync.mjs.

`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_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.

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`	Dashboard providers page	Allows revealing full API key values in the Dashboard UI. 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.
`CORS_ORIGIN`	`*`	Next.js middleware	CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` value. Restrict for production.
`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.

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_ORIGIN=https://your.domain.com
MAX_BODY_SIZE_BYTES=5242880    # 5 MB limit

5. Input Sanitization & PII Protection

`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_MODE`	`redact`	`src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts`	`redact` = mask PII, `warn` = log only, `block` = drop entire response.

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.

`NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL`	(unset)	`src/shared/services/cloudSyncScheduler.ts`	Legacy fallback for `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`.
`OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`	(unset)	`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts`	Browser-facing OmniRoute origin used for image URLs in API responses (e.g., `/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_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_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), NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL must be set to your public URL (e.g., https://omniroute.example.com). Without this, OAuth callbacks will fail because the redirect_uri won't match.

8. Outbound Proxy

[!WARNING] Google OAuth (Antigravity, Gemini CLI) credentials only work on localhost. For remote servers:

Go to Google Cloud Console → Credentials

Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (type: "Web application")

Add your server URL as Authorized redirect URI

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.ts → buildHeaders()

Variable	Default Value	When to Update
`CLAUDE_USER_AGENT`	`claude-cli/2.1.145 (external, cli)`	When Anthropic releases a new CLI version
`CLAUDE_DISABLE_TOOL_NAME_CLOAK`	`false`	`executors/base.ts` + `executors/cliproxyapi.ts`
`CODEX_USER_AGENT`	`codex-cli/0.132.0 (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/0.45.1`	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)
`QODER_USER_AGENT`	`Qoder-Cli`	When Qoder CLI updates
`QWEN_USER_AGENT`	`QwenCode/0.15.9 (linux; x64)`	When Qwen Code updates
`CURSOR_USER_AGENT`	`Cursor/3.3`	When Cursor updates
`GEMINI_CLI_USER_AGENT`	`google-api-nodejs-client/10.3.0`	When Google API client 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.

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

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
`OMNIROUTE_URL`	`http://localhost:20128`	`scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts`	Base URL of the OmniRoute instance to query for `/v1/models`.
`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.
