Obiguard provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including your locally hosted models through LocalAI.

Obiguard SDK Integration with LocalAI

1. Install the Obiguard SDK

2. Initialize Obiguard with LocalAI URL

First, ensure that your API is externally accessible. If you’re running the API on http://localhost, consider using a tool like ngrok to create a public URL. Then, instantiate the Obiguard client by adding your LocalAI URL (along with the version identifier) to the customHost property, and add the provider name as openai.
Note: Don’t forget to include the version identifier (e.g., /v1) in the customHost URL
Obiguard currently supports all endpoints that adhere to the OpenAI specification. This means, you can access and observe any of your LocalAI models that are exposed through OpenAI-compliant routes.

3. Invoke Chat Completions

Use the Obiguard SDK to invoke chat completions from your LocalAI model, just as you would with any other provider.

Using Provider Credentials and Access Keys

Obiguard stores the credentials for your provider in its vault as a provider credential, and your application authenticates to the gateway with an access key. This simplifies the use of multiple providers and Obiguard features within your application. For self-hosted LLMs, you can configure custom authentication requirements including authorization keys, bearer tokens, or any other headers needed to access your model.
  1. Add your self-hosted model to Obiguard as a provider credential
  2. Configure your deployment:
    • Select the matching provider API specification (typically OpenAI)
    • Enter your model’s base URL as the custom host
    • Add required authentication headers and their values
  3. Create an access key for the agent or project that will call it
You can now use the access key in your requests:
