✨ Core Highlights

  • 🤖 Intelligent load balancing: Weight + priority + grouping scheduler with built-in circuit breaker and up to three failover retries to keep requests stable.
  • 🧩 Multi-provider management: Connect Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI-compatible vendors simultaneously with per-provider model redirection and HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS proxy rules.
  • 🛡️ Rate limiting & concurrency control: Enforce RPM, monetary quotas (5-hour / weekly / monthly), and session concurrency via Redis Lua scripts with atomic counters and fail-open degradation.
  • 📘 Automated OpenAPI docs: 39 REST endpoints exported from Server Actions into OpenAPI 3.1.0, instantly browsable in Swagger and Scalar UI.
  • 📊 Real-time monitoring & analytics: Dashboards, active sessions, consumption leaderboards, decision-chain tracing, and proxy health tracking provide second-level visibility.
  • 💰 Price sheet management: Paginated SQL queries with debounce search and LiteLLM sync keep thousands of model prices searchable in milliseconds.
  • 🔁 Session management: Five-minute context cache preserves decision trails, reduces vendor switches, and maintains full auditability.
  • 🔄 OpenAI-compatible endpoint: Supports /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI-compatible format), passes through tool calls and reasoning fields, enforces strict same-format routing with no cross-format conversion.

⚡️ Quick Start

Requirements

  • Docker and Docker Compose (latest version recommended)
  • Optional (for local development): Node.js ≥ 20, Bun ≥ 1.3

🚀 One-Click Deployment Script (✨ Recommended - Fully Automated)

The one-click deployment script automatically handles all of the following:

  • Check and install Docker and Docker Compose (Linux/macOS support auto-install)
  • Create deployment directory and configuration files
  • Generate secure admin token and database password
  • Start all services and wait for health checks
  • Display access URLs and admin token

Linux / macOS:

# Download and run the deployment script
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ding113/claude-code-hub/main/scripts/deploy.sh -o deploy.sh
chmod +x deploy.sh
./deploy.sh

Or using wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ding113/claude-code-hub/main/scripts/deploy.sh
chmod +x deploy.sh
./deploy.sh

Windows (PowerShell as Administrator):

# Download and run the deployment script
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ding113/claude-code-hub/main/scripts/deploy.ps1" -OutFile "deploy.ps1"
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
.\deploy.ps1

Deployment Directories:

  • Linux: /www/compose/claude-code-hub
  • macOS: ~/Applications/claude-code-hub
  • Windows: C:\ProgramData\claude-code-hub

Branch Selection:

The script will prompt you to select a deployment branch:

  • main (default): Stable release, recommended for production
  • dev: Development version with latest features, for testing

Important Notes:

  • ⚠️ Please save the Admin Token displayed by the script - it's the only credential to access the admin dashboard!
  • ⚠️ Windows users: If Docker Desktop is not installed, the script will automatically open the download page

Three-Step Launch (Docker Compose)

  1. Clone and configure

    git clone https://github.com/ding113/claude-code-hub.git
    cd claude-code-hub
    cp .env.example .env
    
  2. Edit configuration

Edit the .env file and update ADMIN_TOKEN (admin login token):

   # MUST change this!
   ADMIN_TOKEN=your-secure-token-here

   # Docker Compose defaults (usually no changes needed)
   DSN=postgres://postgres:postgres@postgres:5432/claude_code_hub
   REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
  1. Start services

    docker compose up -d
    

Check status:

   docker compose ps
   docker compose logs -f app

Access the application

Once started:

  • Admin Dashboard: http://localhost:23000 (login with ADMIN_TOKEN from .env)
  • API Docs (Scalar UI): http://localhost:23000/api/actions/scalar
  • API Docs (Swagger UI): http://localhost:23000/api/actions/docs

💡 Tip: To change the port, edit the ports section in docker-compose.yml.

Clients / CLI / Integrations
        │
        ▼
Next.js 15 App Router (v1 API routes)
        │
Hono + Proxy Pipeline (Auth → Session Allocation → Rate Limiting → Provider Selection → Forwarding → Response Handling)
        │
Multi-provider pool (Claude / OpenAI / Gemini / others) + PostgreSQL + Redis
  • App layer: src/app hosts dashboards, settings, and API actions for UI and internal APIs.
  • Proxy core: src/app/v1/_lib/proxy-handler.ts chains ProxyAuthenticator, ProxySessionGuard, ProxyRateLimitGuard, ProxyProviderResolver, ProxyForwarder, and ProxyResponseHandler.
  • Business logic: src/lib contains rate limiting, session manager, circuit breaker, proxy utilities, and price-sync; src/repository encapsulates Drizzle ORM queries.
  • Documentation system: src/app/api/actions/[...route]/route.ts converts Server Actions into OpenAPI endpoints automatically.

Data flow & components

  1. Ingress: Requests with API keys hit the Next.js route and pass through ProxyAuthenticator.
  2. Context control: SessionManager fetches the five-minute cache from Redis, enforces concurrency, and records the decision chain.
  3. Rate limiting: RateLimitService applies Lua-driven atomic counters for RPM, spend, and session caps, falling back gracefully if Redis is unavailable.
  4. Routing: ProxyProviderResolver scores vendors with weights, priorities, breaker states, and session reuse, retrying up to three times.
  5. Forwarding & response handling: ProxyForwarder sends requests upstream; ProxyResponseHandler processes response streams while preserving endpoint-native formats, with proxy support and model redirects.
  6. Observability: Dashboards, leaderboards, and price sheets query PostgreSQL via repositories with hourly aggregations.

🚢 Deployment

🐳 Docker Compose (✨ Recommended, Production-Ready)

Docker Compose is the preferred deployment method — it automatically provisions the database, Redis, and application services without manual dependency installation, ideal for production quick-start.

  1. Prepare .env (see .env.example) and point DSN/REDIS_URL to the Compose services.
  2. Start the stack:

    docker compose up -d
    
  3. Monitor:

    docker compose logs -f app
    docker compose ps
    
  4. Upgrade:

    docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
    

    Stop and clean up with docker compose down when necessary.

Local development (dev toolchain)

  1. Enter the dev/ folder: cd dev.
  2. Run make dev to launch PostgreSQL + Redis + bun dev in one command.
  3. Helpful targets:
    • make db: start only database and Redis.
    • make logs / make logs-app: tail all services or app logs.
    • make clean / make reset: clean or fully reset the environment.
  4. Use make migrate and make db-shell for schema operations.

Manual deployment (bun build + start)

  1. Install dependencies and build:

    bun install
    bun run build      # Copies the VERSION file automatically
    
  2. Export environment variables via your process manager (systemd, PM2, etc.) and ensure PostgreSQL/Redis endpoints are reachable.

  3. Launch production server:

    bun run start
    
  4. You may keep AUTO_MIGRATE=true for the first run, then disable it and manage migrations explicitly with Drizzle CLI.

⚙️ Configuration

Variable Default Description
ADMIN_TOKEN change-me Admin console token — must be updated before deployment.
DSN - PostgreSQL connection string, e.g., postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db.
AUTO_MIGRATE true Executes Drizzle migrations on startup; consider disabling in production for manual control.
REDIS_URL redis://localhost:6379 Redis endpoint, supports rediss:// for TLS providers.
REDIS_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED true Validate Redis TLS certificates; set false to skip (for self-signed/shared certs).
ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT true Toggles multi-dimensional rate limiting; Fail-Open handles Redis outages gracefully.
ENABLE_API_KEY_VACUUM_FILTER true Enables API Key Vacuum Filter (negative short-circuit only; set to false/0 to disable).
ENABLE_API_KEY_REDIS_CACHE true Enables API Key auth Redis cache (requires Redis; auto-fallback to DB on errors).
API_KEY_AUTH_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS 60 API Key auth cache TTL in seconds (default 60, max 3600).
SESSION_TTL 300 Session cache window (seconds) that drives vendor reuse.
ENABLE_SECURE_COOKIES true Browsers require HTTPS for Secure cookies; set to false when serving plain HTTP outside localhost.
ENABLE_CIRCUIT_BREAKER_ON_NETWORK_ERRORS false When true, network errors also trip the circuit breaker for quicker isolation.
APP_PORT 23000 Production port (override via container or process manager).
APP_URL empty Populate to expose correct servers entries in OpenAPI docs.
API_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS 15000 Timeout (ms) for provider API connectivity tests. Accepts 5000-120000 for regional tuning.

Boolean values support true/false or 1/0. Quoting in .env is also fine (dotenv will strip quotes). See .env.example for the full list.

❓ FAQ

  1. Database connection failures

    • Verify the DSN format and credentials; use service names (e.g., postgres:5432) within Docker.
    • Inspect docker compose ps or local PostgreSQL status, and use make db-shell for deeper checks.
  2. What if Redis goes offline?

    • The platform uses a fail-open policy: rate limiting and session metrics degrade gracefully while requests continue flowing. Monitor logs for Redis errors and restore the service asap.
  3. Circuit breaker keeps opening

    • Inspect [CircuitBreaker] logs to see whether repeated 4xx/5xx or network errors triggered it.
    • Check provider health in the admin console and wait 30 minutes or restart the app to reset state.
  4. “No provider available” errors

    • Ensure providers are enabled, have reasonable weights/priorities, and haven’t hit concurrency or spend caps.
    • Review the decision-chain log to confirm whether breakers or proxy failures removed them.
  5. Proxy configuration issues

    • Make sure URLs include a protocol (http://, socks5://, etc.) and validate via the “Test Connection” button in the UI.
    • If proxy_fallback_to_direct is enabled, confirm via logs that the system retried without the proxy when failures occur.
