[Bug]:

[nolandubeau]

What happened?

I am using a custom config.yaml file instead of the default librechat.yaml. I have set my CONFIG_PATH to:

CONFIG_PATH="config.yaml"

The file is located in the root of the project, however when I restart the app I get the following error:

error: Config file YAML format is invalid: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'config.yaml'

The same applies if I use the default librechat.yaml file/location and I comment out CONFIG_PATH.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set CONFIG_PATH="config.yaml" and uncomment
2. Rename librechat.yaml to config.yaml
3. Restart app
4. Error occurs

Thanks for checking out the project!

That would work, but if you are using docker, the container won't know about the file even if it was librechat.yaml in the same directory.

You need to follow this step:

https://docs.librechat.ai/install/configuration/custom_config.html#docker-setup

there's no reason to rename the file unless you really need to, in which case, you would need to adapt this:

# For more details on the override file, see the Docker Override Guide:
# https://docs.librechat.ai/install/configuration/docker_override.html

version: '3.4'

services:
  api:
    volumes:
# local/filepath:container/filepath
      - ./librechat.yaml:/app/librechat.yaml 

CONFIG_PATH mainly gives you the flexibility to host the file somewhere remotely (for example, you can put it in a public repo you own), or put it in a different directory or rename as you did.

The remote option is an alternative to using the docker override file for this reason.
