API Keys
Below is a list of commands you can use to generate/remove/view API keys. prefix any of the below commands with abra app cmd <app-domain> app
# Add a key (120 requests/minute by default)
key_add
# Add a key with a custom rate limit
key_add 60
# Add a key with a character limit
key_add 120 5000
# Remove a key
key_remove "api-key"
# View all keys
keys_view
Metrics
Metrics are exported Prometheus-compatible, in this recipe they also require a key.
Once you set METRICS to true you can use https://<app-domain>/metrics in your prometheus.yml and SECRET_METRICS_AUTH_TOKEN which was generated when you setup the app.
Selecting Languages
By default all available languages are loaded. Even though the Argo Translate models are very efficient they are too large to include in the image.
Expect All languages to take up between 8-10 GB of storage space. Depending on the host this can take between 10-20 minutes to setup.
If you choose to load languages individually keep in mind there's no one "language file" each Argos model is a from and to model. So, if you set LANG to en,es you will need both the from es and to es model files. So two languages will require two model files, 3 languages will require 6 model files.
Backups
Backups only preserve API keys for the purpose of ensuring authentication stays consistent across restorations.
