Dify version

1.9.0

Cloud or Self Hosted

Self Hosted (Docker)

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce*
Deploy Dify v1.9.0 using the standard Docker Compose method.

Set up a self-hosted OpenAI-compatible model endpoint (in our 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 have confirmed this is not a user configuration or network issue.

A curl request to the model's /v1/models endpoint works perfectly when executed from inside the Dify API container.

Command: docker exec -it <dify_api_container> curl http://<model_server_ip>:/v1/models

This definitive test proves there are no firewall, DNS, or Docker networking problems.

The issue persisted even after a full, clean reset of the Dify application (docker-compose down --volumes) and a successful upgrade from version 0.6.0 to 1.9.0.
