LobeHub

Connect Praxis to LobeHub—a modern open-source AI chat interface with plugins and multi-model support. Start with Docker, fill in two fields in the browser.

Every step lists its expected result: follow along yourself, or hand this page to an AI assistant that can operate your computer and let it do the install, setup, and verification for you.

What you'll accomplish

• Run a LobeHub instance with Docker, connected to Praxis models
• Done when: you send "Hello" and get a reply
• Time needed: 5 minutes (excluding the image download)
• Protocol: OpenAI-compatible (/openai/v1)

Prerequisites

• Docker installed and running (check docker --version).
• A Praxis API key (starting with sk-praxis-). Create one at Console → API Keys. See Quickstart.

Install & Start

Step 1: start the container

docker run -d --name lobehub --restart always -p 3210:3210 lobehub/lobe-chat:latest

Expected: a container ID prints; the first pull is ~1GB.

Step 2: open the browser

Visit http://localhost:3210. Expected: automatic redirect to the chat page.

Configure

Step 3: open Language Model settings

Click the settings icon (gear) in the left sidebar, then select "Language Model".

Expected: the API Key and API Proxy Address input areas appear.

Step 4: enter the Praxis connection

Click "Check". Expected: passes; then check deepseek-flash in Model List.

Preset via environment variables:

docker run -d --name lobehub --restart always -p 3210:3210 \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-praxis-your-key \
  -e OPENAI_PROXY_URL=https://api.deepraxis.ai/openai/v1 \
  lobehub/lobe-chat:latest

Verify

Pick a model and send "Hello". Expected: a reply means you're connected.
