Docker users reported Settings -> Engines failing with 'Failed to load engines: Failed to fetch'. Two problems: (1) the two API-base resolvers diverged (client.ts honored VITE_API_URL; apiBase.ts honored VITE_OMNIVOICE_API), and the docs documented VITE_OMNIVOICE_API -- which the Engines request path ignored; (2) VITE_* is inlined at BUILD time, so a prebuilt ghcr.io image has no working runtime override at all for reverse-proxy / split-origin deploys. - backend: when OMNIVOICE_PUBLIC_API_BASE is set, inject it into index.html as window.__OMNIVOICE_API_BASE__ (core/spa_inject.py; validated to a plain http(s) URL so it can't break out of the <script>). Unset (default) -> StaticFiles serves index.html untouched (same-origin, zero overhead). - frontend: both resolvers (client.ts _resolveApiBase + utils/apiBase.ts) now read the runtime global FIRST, then VITE_OMNIVOICE_API/VITE_API_URL, then fall through to same-origin. client.ts also strips trailing slashes and recognises __TAURI_INTERNALS__ (parity with apiBase.ts/external.ts). - docs: docker.md + troubleshooting.md document OMNIVOICE_PUBLIC_API_BASE as the runtime override that works on the prebuilt image (the old VITE_OMNIVOICE_API docker run -e example never worked -- build-time inlining). - tests: spa_inject helpers (inject + URL validation/breakout); resolver precedence for the runtime global + VITE_OMNIVOICE_API in both test files. Default same-origin behavior is unchanged on every platform; override is opt-in. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

OmniVoice Studio — Install with Docker
For headless servers, dedicated GPUs, or "I want one command" deployments. The docker image bundles the backend; the UI is served over HTTP and you open it in a normal browser.
Pull and run (CPU)
docker pull ghcr.io/debpalash/omnivoice-studio:latest
docker run -d --name omnivoice \
-p 127.0.0.1:3900:3900 \
-v omnivoice-data:/app/omnivoice_data \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
ghcr.io/debpalash/omnivoice-studio:latest
Open http://localhost:3900. The first run downloads
~2.4 GB of model weights — follow docker logs -f omnivoice to watch.
Pull and run (NVIDIA GPU)
docker run -d --name omnivoice --gpus all \
-p 127.0.0.1:3900:3900 \
-v omnivoice-data:/app/omnivoice_data \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
ghcr.io/debpalash/omnivoice-studio:latest
GPU mode requires the NVIDIA Container Toolkit on the host.
Docker Compose (recommended)
# CPU
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml --profile cpu up -d
# NVIDIA GPU
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml --profile gpu up -d
The docker-compose.yml shipped in deploy/ defaults to 127.0.0.1:3900
on the host. The backend inside the container binds to 0.0.0.0 so the
host port mapping can forward — the host-side 127.0.0.1 binding is what
enforces loopback-only.
LAN access
To expose OmniVoice on your LAN (e.g. you're running it on a homelab box and opening the UI from a laptop), change the host port mapping:
# deploy/docker-compose.yml
services:
omnivoice:
ports:
- "0.0.0.0:3900:3900" # ← was 127.0.0.1:3900:3900
The OmniVoice frontend defaults to the same origin the page was served
from, so opening the UI from http://<lan-ip>:3900 Just Works for both the
page load and the API/media requests it makes afterwards.
If you front the app with a reverse proxy and the API and UI land on
different origins, pin the API base explicitly. Use OMNIVOICE_PUBLIC_API_BASE
— a runtime env var the backend injects into the page, so it works with the
prebuilt image via docker run -e (the older VITE_OMNIVOICE_API is inlined at
build time and cannot be set on a prebuilt image):
docker run -e OMNIVOICE_PUBLIC_API_BASE=https://api.your-host.example \
-p 0.0.0.0:3900:3900 \
ghcr.io/debpalash/omnivoice-studio:latest
OMNIVOICE_PUBLIC_API_BASEmust be a plainhttp(s)://…URL; anything else is ignored and the app falls back to same-origin. If you build from source you may instead bakeVITE_OMNIVOICE_APIat build time, but the runtime var above is simpler and image-agnostic.
Security: OmniVoice ships no authentication. Anything on your LAN with the URL can use the app. Put it behind a reverse proxy with
basic_auth(Caddy / nginx + htpasswd) or a private network overlay (Tailscale, ZeroTier) before exposing publicly.
Volume mounts
Two paths are worth persisting across container restarts:
| Mount | Purpose | Why |
|---|---|---|
omnivoice_data:/app/omnivoice_data |
Project DB, user voices, settings | Survives upgrade; encrypted HF token lives here |
~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface |
HF model cache | Re-using your host's cache saves ~2.4 GB of re-downloads |
Troubleshooting
- Media-preview 404 in LAN mode: see the LAN access section
above — the
window.location.hostfix shipped in v0.3. - GPU not detected: verify
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.8.0-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smisucceeds first. - More entries: docs/install/troubleshooting.md.
