API key auth single key

theobouwman · April 3, 2025, 4:07pm

Hi,

Hosting libretranslate on a request only container (e.g. container is removed/deleted after 120 sec no requests) will result in api keys being reset.

How can I solve this issue?
Is it possible to just set a single api key though the arguments?

Thanks

Just make sure to set a local volume when launching the container, so you don’t lose the API Keys database between restarts: -v lt-db:/app/db

github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

run.sh

main


      
              if [[ $not_found ]]; then
                  return 1
              fi
          }
          
          environment_check(){
              check_command "docker" "https://www.docker.com/"
          }
          
          environment_check
          docker run -ti --rm -p $LT_PORT:$LT_PORT $DB_VOLUME -v lt-local:/home/libretranslate/.local libretranslate/libretranslate ${ARGS[@]}
