Air-Gapped Deployment

Overview

Vikat fetches its pricing and model parameter datasheets from https://vikat.ai/datasheet on startup and periodically in the background. In environments without outbound internet access, these fetches fail and Vikat cannot start. Both fields accept file:// URLs so you can load the datasheets from the local filesystem instead.

Setup

1. Download the datasheets on a machine with internet access:

curl -o pricing.json https://vikat.ai/datasheet
curl -o model-parameters.json https://vikat.ai/datasheet/model-parameters

Transfer the files to your air-gapped host (or bake them into your container image / Kubernetes volume). 2. Point Vikat at the local files in config.json:

{
  "framework": {
    "pricing": {
      "pricing_url": "file:///opt/vikat/pricing.json",
      "model_parameters_url": "file:///opt/vikat/model-parameters.json",
      "pricing_sync_interval": 86400
    }
  }
}

file:// URLs require three slashes followed by an absolute path.

3. Ensure the files are accessible to the Vikat process at the configured paths before starting.

Keeping datasheets current

Vikat re-reads the file on every sync tick (pricing_sync_interval, minimum 3600 s). The live model lists are separate from the datasheets: each configured provider’s own GET /v1/models is re-fetched every model_list_refresh_interval seconds (default 3600, minimum 300, maximum 2592000), and a provider whose list endpoint is unreachable simply keeps its previous list.
