Settings: API Keys

The API Keys tab issues credentials for scripts and API clients — including inference clients talking to Ollama. This is the default tab when you open Settings.

Settings API Keys tab with created keys

Create a key

Section titled “Create a key”
  1. Click create. The modal asks for:
    • Name
    • Expiry: 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or Never
    • Kind: inference (Ollama/completions only) or full (whole Home API)
  2. Submit and the secret is shown once. Copy it immediately — there is no second look.
  3. The key then appears in the table (Name · Kind · Key prefix · Expires · Last used · Created), masked, ready to Revoke.

Point clients at http://<device>:7777 with the key as bearer token — inference clients use the full completions path http://<device>:7777/v1/chat/completions, shown on the Ollama page. The Ollama page mints exactly this kind of key inline.

Revoking

Section titled “Revoking”

Revoke takes effect immediately. Anything still using the key starts failing auth.
