langchain app add $PROJECT_NAME

# adding custom GitHub repo packages
langchain app add --repo $OWNER/$REPO
# or with whole git string (supports other git providers):

Setup LangSmith (Optional)

LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications. LangSmith is currently in private beta, you can sign up here. If you don't have access, you can skip this section

export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true

export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project>  # if not specified, defaults to "default"

Launch LangServe

langchain serve

Running in Docker

This project folder includes a Dockerfile that allows you to easily build and host your LangServe app.

Building the Image

To build the image, you simply:

docker build . -t my-langserve-app

If you tag your image with something other than my-langserve-app, note it for use in the next step.

Running the Image Locally

To run the image, you'll need to include any environment variables necessary for your application.

In the below example, we inject the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable with the value set in my local environment ($OPENAI_API_KEY)

We also expose port 8080 with the -p 8080:8080 option.

docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY -p 8080:8080 my-langserve-app
