Docker Deployment (Recommended)
Quick Start
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/Wei-Shaw/sub2api.git
cd sub2api/deploy
# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
nano .env # Set POSTGRES_PASSWORD (required)
# Start all services
docker-compose up -d
# View logs (check for auto-generated admin password)
docker-compose logs -f sub2api
# Access Web UI
# http://localhost:8080
How Auto-Setup Works
When using Docker Compose with AUTO_SETUP=true:
-
On first run, the system automatically:
- Connects to PostgreSQL and Redis
- Applies database migrations (SQL files in
backend/migrations/*.sql) and records them inschema_migrations - Generates JWT secret (if not provided)
- Creates admin account (password auto-generated if not provided)
- Writes config.yaml
-
No manual Setup Wizard needed - just configure
.envand start -
If
ADMIN_PASSWORDis not set, check logs for the generated password:docker-compose logs sub2api | grep "admin password"
Database Migration Notes (PostgreSQL)
- Migrations are applied in lexicographic order (e.g.
001_...sql,002_...sql). schema_migrationstracks applied migrations (filename + checksum).- Migrations are forward-only; rollback requires a DB backup restore or a manual compensating SQL script.
Verify users.allowed_groups → user_allowed_groups backfill
During the incremental GORM→Ent migration, users.allowed_groups (legacy BIGINT[]) is being replaced by a normalized join table user_allowed_groups(user_id, group_id).
Run this query to compare the legacy data vs the join table:
WITH old_pairs AS (
SELECT DISTINCT u.id AS user_id, x.group_id
FROM users u
CROSS JOIN LATERAL unnest(u.allowed_groups) AS x(group_id)
WHERE u.allowed_groups IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM old_pairs) AS old_pair_count,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user_allowed_groups) AS new_pair_count;

# Start services
docker-compose up -d
# Stop services
docker-compose down
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f sub2api
# Restart Sub2API only

Gemini OAuth Configuration
Sub2API supports three methods to connect to Gemini:
Method 1: Code Assist OAuth (Recommended for GCP Users)
No configuration needed - always uses the built-in Gemini CLI OAuth client (public).
- Leave
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_IDandGEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRETempty - In the Admin UI, create a Gemini OAuth account and select "Code Assist" type
- Complete the OAuth flow in your browser
Note: Even if you configure
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID/GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRETfor AI Studio OAuth, Code Assist OAuth will still use the built-in Gemini CLI client.
Requirements:
- Google account with access to Google Cloud Platform
- A GCP project (auto-detected or manually specified)
How to get Project ID (if auto-detection fails):
- Go to Google Cloud Console
- Click the project dropdown at the top of the page
- Copy the Project ID (not the project name) from the list
- Common formats:
my-project-123456orcloud-ai-companion-xxxxx
Method 2: AI Studio OAuth (For Regular Google Accounts)
Requires your own OAuth client credentials.
Step 1: Create OAuth Client in Google Cloud Console
- Go to Google Cloud Console - Credentials
- Create a new project or select an existing one
- Enable the Generative Language API:
- Go to "APIs & Services" → "Library"
- Search for "Generative Language API"
- Click "Enable"
- Configure OAuth Consent Screen (if not done):
- Go to "APIs & Services" → "OAuth consent screen"
- Choose "External" user type
- Fill in app name, user support email, developer contact
- Add scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/generative-language.retriever(and optionallyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform) - Add test users (your Google account email)
- Create OAuth 2.0 credentials:
- Go to "APIs & Services" → "Credentials"
- Click "Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
- Application type: Web application (or Desktop app)
- Name: e.g., "Sub2API Gemini"
- Authorized redirect URIs: Add
http://localhost:1455/auth/callback
- Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
- ⚠️ Publish to Production (IMPORTANT):
- Go to "APIs & Services" → "OAuth consent screen"
- Click "PUBLISH APP" to move from Testing to Production
- Testing mode limitations:
- Only manually added test users can authenticate (max 100 users)
- Refresh tokens expire after 7 days
- Users must be re-added periodically
- Production mode: Any Google user can authenticate, tokens don't expire
- Note: For sensitive scopes, Google may require verification (demo video, privacy policy)
Step 2: Configure Environment Variables
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your-client-secret
Step 3: Create Account in Admin UI
- Create a Gemini OAuth account and select "AI Studio" type
- Complete the OAuth flow
- After consent, your browser will be redirected to
http://localhost:1455/auth/callback?code=...&state=... - Copy the full callback URL (recommended) or just the
codeand paste it back into the Admin UI
- After consent, your browser will be redirected to
Method 3: API Key (Simplest)
- Go to Google AI Studio
- Click "Create API key"
- In Admin UI, create a Gemini API Key account
- Paste your API key (starts with
AIza...)
Comparison Table
| Feature | Code Assist OAuth | AI Studio OAuth | API Key |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup Complexity | Easy (no config) | Medium (OAuth client) | Easy |
| GCP Project Required | Yes | No | No |
| Custom OAuth Client | No (built-in) | Yes (required) | N/A |
| Rate Limits | GCP quota | Standard | Standard |
| Best For | GCP developers | Regular users needing OAuth | Quick testing |

# Uninstall
sudo ./install.sh uninstall
Service Management
# Start the service
sudo systemctl start sub2api
# Stop the service
sudo systemctl stop sub2api
# Restart the service

Configuration
Server Address and Port
During installation, you will be prompted to configure the server listen address and port. These settings are stored in the systemd service file as environment variables.
To change after installation:
-
Edit the systemd service:
sudo systemctl edit sub2api -
Add or modify:
[Service] Environment=SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 Environment=SERVER_PORT=3000 -
Reload and restart:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart sub2api
Gemini OAuth Configuration
If you need to use AI Studio OAuth for Gemini accounts, add the OAuth client credentials to the systemd service file:
-
Edit the service file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/sub2api.service -
Add your OAuth credentials in the
[Service]section (after the existingEnvironment=lines):Environment=GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com Environment=GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your-client-secret -
Reload and restart:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart sub2api
Note: Code Assist OAuth does not require any configuration - it uses the built-in Gemini CLI client. See the Gemini OAuth Configuration section above for detailed setup instructions.
Application Configuration
The main config file is at /etc/sub2api/config.yaml (created by Setup Wizard).
Prerequisites
- Linux server (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, CentOS 8+, etc.)
