Environment Variable Update Overview

This document outlines required configuration changes for self-hosted FastGPT deployments upgrading to version 4.14.9, focusing on environment variable adjustments and a new security control toggle. All changes are derived from the official 4.14.9 upgrade documentation.

Renamed Sandbox Service Environment Variables

Two environment variables tied to the FastGPT code sandbox service have been renamed to standardize naming across the platform. Deployments must update these variables to avoid service disruptions. The following table and example configuration show the legacy and updated formats:

Legacy Environment VariableUpdated Environment VariableAdditional Notes
SANDBOX_URLCODE_SANDBOX_URLCode sandbox service network address
SANDBOX_TOKENCODE_SANDBOX_TOKENPreviously allowed an empty value, as sandbox authentication was added in 4.14.8. Requires a valid credential in the 4.14.9 update.

A sample of the updated environment configuration is shown below:

# 4.14.9+ Configuration
CODE_SANDBOX_URL=<your-code-sandbox-address>
CODE_SANDBOX_TOKEN=<your-code-sandbox-credential>

For reference, the legacy pre-4.14.9 configuration was:

# Pre-4.14.9 Configuration
SANDBOX_URL=<your-code-sandbox-address>
SANDBOX_TOKEN=<your-code-sandbox-credential>

Internal Network Security Check Toggle

As of 4.14.9, internal network IP security checks are disabled by default for all FastGPT services. This change reduces unnecessary validation overhead for most deployments. If your organization requires this security control to restrict access to internal IP ranges, you can re-enable it by setting the CHECK_INTERNAL_IP environment variable to true. This configuration applies to the following FastGPT services:

  • fastgpt
  • fastgpt-pro
  • fastgpt-sandbox

An example of adding this toggle to your environment file is:

CHECK_INTERNAL_IP=true

Applicability and version scope

Use this page for the documented Deployment and upgrades scenario. Confirm the FastGPT, dependency, API, and deployment versions in the official source before applying a change.

Safety guardrails

Use [REDACTED_CREDENTIAL] for credentials and private data. Confirm the documented environment and version before review.

Rollback guidance

Restore the prior technical-content authority snapshot. Restore saved configuration and data snapshots, then repeat the smallest verification scenario.
