Orpheus-FastAPI

Run Orpheus-FastAPI locally and connect it to OpenReader using the Custom OpenAI-Like provider.

Run Orpheus​

Refer to the upstream repository for Docker instructions: Lex-au/Orpheus-FastAPI.

Connect to OpenReader​

Environment variables (recommended for deployment):

API_BASE=http://orpheus:8000/v1

Use the container name if that's how it's named, or host.docker.internal if not.

Or in-app via Settings → TTS Provider:

  1. Set provider to Custom OpenAI-Like.
  2. Set API_BASE to your Orpheus endpoint (e.g. http://orpheus:8000/v1).
  3. Leave API_KEY blank unless your deployment requires one.
  4. Choose model Orpheus (or the model your deployment exposes).

Settings modal values override env vars. See TTS Providers for how the two layers interact.
