## Setup litellm Project
- [ ] Copy and rename this folder to active/container_litellm
- [ ] Find and replace litellm with the name of the service.
- [ ] Create the rootless user to run the podman containers
- [ ] Write the compose.yaml spec for your service
- [ ] Convert the compose.yaml spec to a quadlet
- [ ] Install the quadlet on the podman server
- [ ] Expose the quadlet service
- [ ] Install a backup service and timer
## Install litellm
### Create the ai user
```bash
# SSH into your podman server as root
useradd ai
loginctl enable-linger $(id -u ai)
systemctl --user --machine=ai@.host enable podman-restart
systemctl --user --machine=ai@.host enable --now podman.socket
mkdir -p /home/ai/.config/containers/systemd
```
### Write the litellm compose spec
See the [docker run command here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/docker_quick_start#32-start-proxy)
Edit the compose.yaml at active/container_litellm/compose/compose.yaml
#### A Note on Volumes
Named volumes are stored at `/home/litellm/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/`.
### Convert litellm compose spec to quadlets
Run the following to convert a compose.yaml into the various `.container` files for systemd:
```bash
# Generate the systemd service
podman run \
--security-opt label=disable \
--rm \
-v $(pwd)/active/container_litellm/compose:/compose \
-v $(pwd)/active/container_litellm/quadlets:/quadlets \
quay.io/k9withabone/podlet \
-f /quadlets \
-i \
--overwrite \
compose /compose/compose.yaml
# Copy the files to the server
export PODMAN_SERVER=ai-ai
scp -r active/container_litellm/quadlets/. $PODMAN_SERVER:/home/ai/.config/containers/systemd/
```
### Create the litellm.env file
Should look something like:
```env
LITELLM_MASTER_KEY="random-string"
LITELLM_SALT_KEY="random-string"
UI_USERNAME="admin"
UI_PASSWORD="random-string"
```
Then copy it to the server
```bash
export PODMAN_SERVER=ai
scp -r active/container_litellm/config.yaml $PODMAN_SERVER:/home/ai/litellm_config.yaml
ssh $PODMAN_SERVER chown -R ai:ai /home/ai/litellm_config.yaml
```
### Start and enable your systemd quadlet
SSH into your podman server as root:
```bash
ssh ai
machinectl shell ai@
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user restart litellm
journalctl --user -u litellm -f
# Enable auto-update service which will pull new container images automatically every day
systemctl --user enable --now podman-auto-update.timer
```
### Expose litellm
1. If you need a domain, follow the [DDNS instructions](/active/container_ddns/ddns.md#install-a-new-ddns-service)
2. For a web service, follow the [Caddy instructions](/active/container_caddy/caddy.md#adding-a-new-caddy-record)
3. Finally, follow your OS's guide for opening ports via its firewall service.
## Using LiteLLM
### Adding Models
```json
// qwen3.5-35b-a3b-thinking
{
"temperature": 1,
"top_p": 0.95,
"presence_penalty": 1.5,
"extra_body": {
"top_k": 20,
"min_p": 0,
"repetition_penalty": 1,
"chat_template_kwargs": {
"enable_thinking": true
}
}
}
// qwen3.5-35b-a3b-coding
{
"temperature": 0.6,
"top_p": 0.95,
"presence_penalty": 0,
"extra_body": {
"top_k": 20,
"min_p": 0,
"repetition_penalty": 1,
"chat_template_kwargs": {
"enable_thinking": true
}
}
}
// qwen3.5-35b-a3b-instruct
{
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.8,
"presence_penalty": 1.5,
"extra_body": {
"top_k": 20,
"min_p": 0,
"repetition_penalty": 1,
"chat_template_kwargs": {
"enable_thinking": false
}
}
}
```
### Testing Models
```bash
# List models
curl -L -X GET 'https://aipi.reeseapps.com/v1/models' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234'
curl -L -X POST 'https://aipi.reeseapps.com/v1/chat/completions' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-4o-mini", # 👈 REPLACE with 'public model name' for any db-model
"messages": [
{
"content": "Hey, how's it going",
"role": "user"
}
],
}'
```
## Backup litellm
Follow the [Borg Backup instructions](/active/systemd_borg/borg.md#set-up-a-client-for-backup)
## Upgrade litellm
### Upgrade Quadlets
Upgrades should be a repeat of [writing the compose spec](#convert-litellm-compose-spec-to-quadlets) and [installing the quadlets](#start-and-enable-your-systemd-quadlet)
```bash
export PODMAN_SERVER=
scp -r quadlets/. $PODMAN_SERVER$:/home/litellm/.config/containers/systemd/
ssh litellm systemctl --user daemon-reload
ssh litellm systemctl --user restart litellm
```
## Uninstall
```bash
# Stop the user's services
systemctl --user disable podman-restart
podman container stop --all
systemctl --user disable --now podman.socket
systemctl --user disable --now podman-auto-update.timer
# Delete the user (this won't delete their home directory)
# userdel might spit out an error like:
# userdel: user litellm is currently used by process 591255
# kill those processes and try again
userdel litellm
```
## Notes
### SELinux
<https://blog.christophersmart.com/2021/01/31/podman-volumes-and-selinux/>
:z allows a container to share a mounted volume with all other containers.
:Z allows a container to reserve a mounted volume and prevents any other container from accessing.
