Deploy M3E Large Model API for FastGPT

Container Image Options Two official container images are provided for running the M3E large model API.

Container Image Options

Two official container images are provided for running the M3E large model API. The primary public image is stawky/m3e-large-api:latest. For users in mainland China, a mirrored image is available to reduce pull latency: registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/fastgpt_docker/m3e-large-api:latest. All images expose a single service port: 6008.

Configuration Environment Variables

The only required environment variable for deployment sets the security token, which functions as the channel key in OneAPI. The official parameter details are listed below:

Environment VariableDefault ValueDescription
sk-key[REDACTED_CREDENTIAL]Security token used as the channel key in OneAPI

For alternative methods of passing environment variables to the container, refer to the official Docker documentation.

Step-by-Step Deployment

  1. Pull the selected container image. For the official image: ``bash docker pull stawky/m3e-large-api:latest ` For mainland China users, use the mirrored image instead: `bash docker pull registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/fastgpt_docker/m3e-large-api:latest ``
  2. Launch the container with the required port mapping and authentication token. Use the default token or replace it with a custom value: ``bash docker run -d -p 6008:6008 -e sk-key=[REDACTED_CREDENTIAL] stawky/m3e-large-api:latest ` Replace the image name in the run command if using the mirrored image, and update the sk-key` value if a custom security token is required.

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.
