Dify version

1.9.0

Cloud or Self Hosted

Self Hosted (Docker)

Steps to reproduce

Deploy Dify v0.6.0 using the standard Docker Compose method.

Set up a self-hosted OpenAI-compatible model endpoint (in my case, using vLLM to serve a DeepSeek model).

In the Dify UI, navigate to Settings -> Model Provider.

Click to add a new model under the vllm provider.

Enter the correct API endpoint URL and model name for API endpoint.

Click the "Add" button.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The model provider should be added successfully without any errors.

Actual Behavior

The UI immediately displays an error notification: "Credentials validation failed with status code 404". The model provider cannot be saved.

Important Additional Context:
We have performed extensive troubleshooting and can confirm this is not a user configuration or network issue:

A curl request to the model endpoint (http://...:8080/v1/models) works perfectly when executed from the Dify host server's terminal. This proves there is no firewall or connectivity problem.

We performed a full, clean reset of the Dify application by running docker-compose down --volumes and docker-compose up -d. The issue persists even on a completely fresh installation.
