Crear clave de API

Se requiere una cuenta de Novita para crear una clave de API.
Ve directamente a la página de claves de API de Novita para crear una nueva clave de API. O sigue estos pasos:
  1. Ve a tu consola de Novita
  2. Haz clic en el botón “Manage API Keys” o ve a tu foto de perfil y haz clic en API Keys
  3. Haz clic en “Add New Key” y rellena con ‘Kodus’ o el nombre que prefieras
  4. Haz clic en “Confirm”
  5. Copia la clave de API y guárdala en un lugar seguro

​
System Requirements

  • Docker (latest stable) with the Compose plugin
  • Domain name or fixed IP if you want to receive Git webhooks from cloud providers (GitHub.com, GitLab.com, etc.)
Default host port mappings — adjust in .env if any conflict.
  • 3000 — Kodus Web App
  • 3001 — API
  • 3332 — Webhooks
  • 5432 — PostgreSQL
  • 27017 — MongoDB
  • 5672, 15672, 15692 — RabbitMQ (AMQP, management UI, metrics)
  • 3101 — MCP Manager (only if API_MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true)
What ./scripts/install.sh brings up, based on your .env.Core (always on):
  • api — main backend
  • worker — code-review jobs
  • webhooks — Git provider webhook receiver
  • kodus-web — Next.js frontend
  • db_kodus_postgres, db_kodus_mongodb, rabbitmq — local infrastructure. Skip with USE_LOCAL_DB=false / USE_LOCAL_RABBITMQ=false to point at managed instances.
Optional:
  • kodus-mcp-manager — Model Context Protocol broker. Enable with API_MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true. See MCP Manager.
  • worker-analytics — Cockpit ingestion (DORA metrics, PR classifier). Self-hosted Enterprise only, not wired by default. See Analytics Worker.
Code review uses an AST graph + cross-file context that runs in a sandbox — local (default, runs inside the worker) or e2b (paid remote sandbox). See Sandbox & AST Graph for the modes, caching behavior, and when to pick each.
Internet access is required if you plan to connect to cloud-based Git services (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) or cloud LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). For self-hosted Git tools and on-prem LLMs within your network, external internet access is optional.

​
Domain Name Setup (Optional)

If you're planning to integrate Kodus with cloud-based Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), you'll need public-facing URLs for both the Kodus Web App and its API. This allows your server to receive webhooks for proper Code Review functionality and ensures correct application behavior. We recommend setting up two subdomains:
  • One for the Web Application, e.g., kodus-web.yourdomain.com.
  • One for the API, e.g., kodus-api.yourdomain.com.
Webhooks are handled by a separate service (port 3332). You can either:
  • Use a dedicated webhooks subdomain, e.g., kodus-webhooks.yourdomain.com, or
  • Keep using the API domain and route /github/webhook, /gitlab/webhook, etc. to the webhooks service in your reverse proxy.
Both subdomains should have DNS A records pointing to your server's IP address. Later in this guide, we will configure a reverse proxy (Nginx) to route requests to these subdomains to the correct internal services. This setup is essential for full functionality, including webhooks and authentication.
Note: If you're only connecting to self-hosted Git tools on your network and do not require public access or webhooks, you might be able to use a simpler setup, but this guide focuses on public-facing deployments.

​
Setup

1

Clone the installer repository

git clone https://github.com/kodustech/kodus-installer.git
cd kodus-installer
2

Copy the example environment file

cp .env.example .env
3

Generate secure keys for the required environment variables

./generate-keys.sh
4

Edit the environment file

Edit .env with your values using your preferred text editor.
nano .env
See Environment Variables Configuration for detailed instructions.
5

Run the installer

./scripts/install.sh
6

Success 🎉

When complete, Kodus Services should be running on your machine. You can verify your installation using the following script:
./scripts/doctor.sh
7

Access the web interface

Once you access the web interface for the first time, you'll need to:
  1. Create your admin account - This will be the first user with full system access
  2. Configure your Git provider - Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket following the on-screen instructions
  3. Select repositories for analysis - Choose which code repositories Kody will review
For detailed steps on the initial configuration process, refer to our Getting Started Guide.

​
Configura Novita en el archivo de entorno

Edita tu archivo .env y configura los ajustes principales. Para la Integración con LLM, usa Novita en Modo Fijo: 
# Core System Settings (update with your domains)
WEB_HOSTNAME_API="kodus-api.yourdomain.com"    
WEB_PORT_API=443                               
NEXTAUTH_URL="https://kodus-web.yourdomain.com"

# Security Keys (generate with openssl commands above)
WEB_NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-generated-secret"
API_CRYPTO_KEY="your-generated-hex-key"
API_JWT_SECRET="your-generated-secret"
API_JWT_REFRESH_SECRET="your-generated-secret"

# Database Configuration
API_PG_DB_PASSWORD="your-secure-db-password"
API_MG_DB_PASSWORD="your-secure-db-password"

# Novita Configuration (Fixed Mode) 
API_LLM_PROVIDER_MODEL="deepseek-v3-0324"                    # Choose your preferred model
API_OPENAI_FORCE_BASE_URL="https://api.novita.ai/v3/openai"  # Novita API URL
API_OPEN_AI_API_KEY="your-novita-api-key"                    # Your Novita API Key

# Git Provider Webhooks (choose your provider)
API_GITHUB_CODE_MANAGEMENT_WEBHOOK="https://kodus-api.yourdomain.com/github/webhook"
# or API_GITLAB_CODE_MANAGEMENT_WEBHOOK="https://kodus-api.yourdomain.com/gitlab/webhook"
# or GLOBAL_BITBUCKET_CODE_MANAGEMENT_WEBHOOK="https://kodus-api.yourdomain.com/bitbucket/webhook"
Las URLs de webhook deben alcanzar el servicio de Webhooks (puerto 3332). Usa un dominio dedicado para webhooks o enruta /.../webhook al puerto 3332 en tu proxy inverso.
El Modo Fijo es ideal para Novita porque proporciona APIs compatibles con OpenAI y solo requiere una clave de API. Esto simplifica significativamente tu configuración.

​
Run the Installation Script

Looking for more control? Check out our docker-compose file for manual deployment options.
Set the proper permissions for the installation script: 
chmod +x scripts/install.sh
Run the script: 
./scripts/install.sh

​
What the Installer Does

Our installer automates several important steps:
  • Verifies Docker installation
  • Creates networks for Kodus services
  • Clones repositories and configures environment files
  • Runs docker-compose to start all services
  • Executes database migrations
  • Seeds initial data
🎉 Success! When complete, the Kodus Web App and backend services (API, worker, webhooks, MCP manager) should be running on your machine. You can verify your installation by visiting http://localhost:3000 - you should see the Kodus Web Application interface.
Code Review features will not work yet unless you complete the reverse proxy setup. Without this configuration, external Git providers cannot send webhooks to your instance.

​
6. Configura el proxy inverso (para producción)

Para webhooks y acceso externo, configura Nginx: 
# Web App (port 3000)
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name kodus-web.yourdomain.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

# API (port 3001)  
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name kodus-api.yourdomain.com;
    location ~ ^/(github|gitlab|bitbucket|azure-repos)/webhook {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3332;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

​
