title: KittenTTS-FastAPI
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Run [KittenTTS-FastAPI](https://github.com/richardr1126/KittenTTS-FastAPI) locally and connect it to OpenReader using the `Custom OpenAI-Like` provider. Lightweight and CPU-friendly.
|
|
|
|
## Run KittenTTS
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it --rm \
|
|
--name kittentts-fastapi \
|
|
-e KITTEN_MODEL_REPO_ID="KittenML/kitten-tts-nano-0.8-fp32" \
|
|
-p 8005:8005 \
|
|
ghcr.io/richardr1126/kittentts-fastapi-cpu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Connect to OpenReader
|
|
|
|
**Environment variables (recommended for deployment):**
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
API_BASE=http://kittentts-fastapi:8005/v1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Use `kittentts-fastapi` if that's the container name, 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 KittenTTS endpoint (e.g. `http://kittentts-fastapi:8005/v1`).
|
|
3. Leave `API_KEY` blank unless your deployment requires one.
|
|
4. Choose model `kitten-tts` (or the model your deployment exposes).
|
|
|
|
Settings modal values override env vars. See [TTS Providers](../tts-providers) for how the two layers interact.
