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:

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

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

# 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

# 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:

# 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:

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api.git
cd sub2api/deploy

# 2. Copy environment configuration
cp .env.example .env

# 3. Edit configuration (generate secure passwords)
nano .env

Required configuration in .env:

# 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:

# Generate JWT_SECRET
openssl rand -hex 32

# Generate TOTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY
openssl rand -hex 32

# Generate POSTGRES_PASSWORD
openssl rand -hex 32

# 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:

docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs sub2api | grep "admin password"

Upgrade

# 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:

# 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

# 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: 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

# 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
go build -tags embed -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:

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
  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

Sora Status (Temporarily Unavailable)

⚠️ Sora-related features are temporarily unavailable due to technical issues in upstream integration and media delivery. Please do not rely on Sora in production at this time. Existing gateway.sora_* configuration keys are reserved and may not take effect until these issues are resolved.

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
• server.trusted_proxies to enable X-Forwarded-For parsing
• turnstile.required to require Turnstile in release mode

⚠️ Security Warning: HTTP URL Configuration

When security.url_allowlist.enabled=false, the system performs minimal URL validation by default, rejecting HTTP URLs and only allowing HTTPS. To allow HTTP URLs (e.g., for development or internal testing), you must explicitly set:

security:
  url_allowlist:
    enabled: false                # Disable allowlist checks
    allow_insecure_http: true     # Allow HTTP URLs (⚠️ INSECURE)

Or via environment variable:

SECURITY_URL_ALLOWLIST_ENABLED=false
SECURITY_URL_ALLOWLIST_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=true

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 without this setting:

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

# 6. Run the application
./sub2api

Development Mode

# Backend (with hot reload)
cd backend
go run ./cmd/server

# Frontend (with hot reload)
cd frontend
pnpm run dev

Code Generation

When editing backend/ent/schema, regenerate Ent + Wire:

cd backend
go generate ./ent
go generate ./cmd/server

---

Simple Mode

Simple Mode is designed for individual developers or internal teams who want quick access without full SaaS features.

• Enable: Set environment variable RUN_MODE=simple
• Difference: Hides SaaS-related features and skips billing process
• Security note: In production, you must also set SIMPLE_MODE_CONFIRM=true to allow startup

---

Antigravity Support

Sub2API supports Antigravity accounts. After authorization, dedicated endpoints are available for Claude and Gemini models.

Dedicated Endpoints

Endpoint	Model
/antigravity/v1/messages	Claude models
/antigravity/v1beta/	Gemini models

Claude Code Configuration

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8080/antigravity"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-xxx"

Hybrid Scheduling Mode

Antigravity accounts support optional hybrid scheduling. When enabled, the general endpoints /v1/messages and /v1beta/ will also route requests to Antigravity accounts.

⚠️ Warning: Anthropic Claude and Antigravity Claude cannot be mixed within the same conversation context. Use groups to isolate them properly.

Known Issues

In Claude Code, Plan Mode cannot exit automatically. (Normally when using the native Claude API, after planning is complete, Claude Code will pop up options for users to approve or reject the plan.)

Workaround: Press Shift + Tab to manually exit Plan Mode, then type your response to approve or reject the plan.
