# LibreChat — Kubernetes Deployment
Deploys [LibreChat](https://www.librechat.ai/) on Kubernetes with MongoDB, MeiliSearch, and the JIRA MCP server.
## Architecture
```
Namespace: librechat
├── Ingress nginx (librechat.sttlab.pc — TLS wildcard *.sttlab.pc)
│ └── librechat :3080
│ ├── mongodb :27017 (StatefulSet, 5 Gi PVC)
│ └── meilisearch :7700 (Deployment, 2 Gi PVC)
└── MCP JIRA (namespace: mcp)
└── mcp-jira :9000 (streamable-http, 49 tools)
```
| Component | Image | Storage |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| LibreChat | `ghcr.io/danny-avila/librechat:latest` | — (stateless) |
| MongoDB | `mongo:7` | 5 Gi PVC |
| MeiliSearch | `getmeili/meilisearch:v1.7` | 2 Gi PVC |

```
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes cluster with an Nginx ingress controller
- A default StorageClass (for PVCs)
- `kubectl` configured against your cluster
- Wildcard TLS certificate for `*.sttlab.pc` in `$HOME/tls/`
## Initial deployment
### 1. Fill in secrets
Edit `secret.yaml` with real values. Generate them with:
```bash
openssl rand -base64 24 # MONGO_PASSWORD
openssl rand -base64 32 # MEILI_MASTER_KEY, JWT_SECRET, JWT_REFRESH_SECRET
openssl rand -hex 32 # CREDS_KEY
openssl rand -hex 8 # CREDS_IV
```
**Important:** `MONGO_URI` must include `?authSource=admin` because `MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME` creates the user in the `admin` database:
```
mongodb://librechat:<password>@mongodb:27017/LibreChat?authSource=admin
```
### 2. Create the TLS secret
```bash
kubectl apply -f k8s/namespace.yaml
kubectl create secret tls sttlab-tls \
--cert=$HOME/tls/sttlab.pc.crt \
--key=$HOME/tls/sttlab.pc.key \
--namespace=librechat \
--dry-run=client -o yaml > k8s/ingress/tls.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/ingress/tls.yaml
```
### 3. Deploy
```bash
export DOMAIN=librechat.sttlab.pc
kubectl kustomize k8s/ | envsubst '${DOMAIN}' | kubectl apply -f -
```
> **Note:** `DOMAIN` must be exported before the pipe. An inline assignment (`DOMAIN=x cmd1 | cmd2`) does not propagate to `envsubst`.
### 4. Verify
```bash
kubectl get pods,ingress -n librechat
curl -sk https://librechat.sttlab.pc/health
```
## MCP JIRA
The JIRA MCP server runs in the `mcp` namespace (`mcp-jira:9000`, `streamable-http` transport).
`librechat/configmap-app.yaml` mounts `/app/librechat.yaml` into the container:
```yaml
mcpSettings:
allowedDomains:
- "http://mcp-jira.mcp.svc.cluster.local:9000"
mcpServers:
jira:
type: streamable-http
url: http://mcp-jira.mcp.svc.cluster.local:9000/mcp
```
> `mcpSettings.allowedDomains` is required to allow internal k8s domains, which are blocked by default as SSRF protection.
## Updating
```bash
export DOMAIN=librechat.sttlab.pc
kubectl kustomize k8s/ | envsubst '${DOMAIN}' | kubectl apply -f -
```
Force a pod restart:
```bash
kubectl rollout restart deployment/librechat -n librechat
```
## Teardown
```bash
kubectl delete namespace librechat
```
> This also deletes all PVCs and their data. Back up MongoDB first if needed.
