What is on the image

This guide matches Marketplace package 0.1.1 (LibreChat 0.8.8). The listing title is LibreChat with External MongoDB. Check the listing for the version currently on offer.

  • LibreChat 0.8.8 on Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64. The service is librechat.service. It runs as the non-login librechat user, and the program files are read-only.
  • A chat UI on 127.0.0.1:3080. You open it as http://localhost:3080 through a Session Manager port forward.
  • First-boot identity. First boot creates the instance encryption and session identity once. The application waits until you configure the database. An unconfigured status at that stage is expected.
  • Owner setup with sudo sushi-librechat configure and sudo sushi-librechat create-owner. Public registration and social login are disabled.
  • Static artifact previews. Details are in Configuration.
  • Image notes at /opt/sushi/docs/README.md and /opt/sushi/docs/DEMO.md. License notices and selected source materials are under /usr/share/doc/librechat and /usr/share/doc/librechat/sources.

Not included: a MongoDB server, a database account, search, RAG, MCP servers, image-processing workflows, Redis, model weights, and a provider account.

t3.large (8 GiB of memory), x86_64, with an encrypted gp3 root volume of at least 40 GiB and IMDSv2. Attach an instance profile that can use Session Manager and that can call Amazon Nova Lite in us-east-1. Allow outbound access to Systems Manager, your MongoDB endpoint, and Amazon Bedrock. No inbound application port is required.

Billing

The listing states a software rate of USD 0.03 per running instance-hour. Confirm the offer before you subscribe. EC2, EBS, data transfer, external MongoDB hosting, and Bedrock model requests are billed separately.

Where to go next

  • Getting started: launch, point LibreChat at your database, create the owner, and sign in.
  • Configuration: the MongoDB file, Bedrock permissions, and artifact previews.
  • Operations: backups, the service, and support.
  • Troubleshooting: an unconfigured start, exit code 3, and database connection errors.
