LobeChat

LobeChat Integration Guide

Connect UnoRouter to LobeChat through a custom provider or Docker env vars.

Overview

LobeChat supports any OpenAI-compatible host through env vars or Add Custom Provider. Pair it with UnoRouter for a local web client.

Paste these into the client. Your key auto-fills when signed in.

Add models
Save the provider, then add the UnoRouter models you want. They appear in the model picker.

Optional: Docker env vars

Self-hosting: set the OpenAI env vars at container runtime instead.

bash

docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY \
           -e OPENAI_PROXY_URL=https://api.unorouter.com/v1 \
           lobehub/lobe-chat

Free models that work here. Paste any model id into the client.

To keep first-party OpenAI alongside UnoRouter, use Add Custom Provider, not the OpenAI env vars.
Provider ID must be lowercase. unorouter works, UnoRouter does not.
