Docker setup

This is the recommended path. The prebuilt LibreChat Prometheus Exporter image is published to GitHub Container Registry — no local build needed.

1. Get the env file​

Copy the example to .env in the same directory as your docker-compose.yml:

cp .env.example .env

Edit it to point at your LibreChat MongoDB and pick a port. See Environment variables for the full list.

2. Start the stack​

docker compose up -d

This pulls the latest ghcr.io/rubentalstra/librechat-prom-exporter:latest for the exporter, and starts a Prometheus container based on the bundled prometheus.yml.

3. Check it works​

curl -fsS http://localhost:9087/health
# {"status":"ok","mongo":"connected"}

curl -fsS http://localhost:9087/metrics | head
# # HELP librechat_user_count Current number of LibreChat users
# # TYPE librechat_user_count gauge
# librechat_user_count 0
# ...

If /health returns 503 with mongo:"disconnected", the exporter cannot reach Mongo — check MONGO_URI in your .env and that the Mongo container is reachable from the exporter container's network.

Verifying the published image​

The image is signed with Sigstore keyless cosign and carries a SLSA build-provenance attestation. To verify before deploying:

# Signature
cosign verify \
  --certificate-identity-regexp='^https://github.com/rubentalstra/librechat-prom-exporter/' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer='https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  ghcr.io/rubentalstra/librechat-prom-exporter:latest

# Build provenance + SBOM via GitHub native attestations
gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/rubentalstra/librechat-prom-exporter:latest \
  --owner rubentalstra

Pinning to a specific release​

For production, pin to a version tag rather than :latest:

services:
  exporter:
    image: ghcr.io/rubentalstra/librechat-prom-exporter:0.8.0

Use the versions dropdown at the top of these docs to read the docs that match your pinned release.
