New API setup with Docker Compose and Cherry Studio

This Chinese-language tutorial, uploaded on January 13, 2026, demonstrates a self-hosted New API gateway on a Debian 13 server. The speaker installs Docker, clones the project with Git, and starts its default configuration through Docker Compose. No New API release number is supplied. The example routes requests to an external provider; it does not demonstrate how to run models locally.

The walkthrough opens the web interface over HTTP at the server's IP address on port 3000, creates an administrator account, and initializes the system. The speaker suggests nginx or Caddy for an HTTPS setup but does not configure either. The console sections covered include channel management, access tokens, and model pricing multipliers, which the speaker says can prevent use when unset.

An OpenRouter channel supplies the example upstream connection. The speaker enters its credentials and maps the requested name gpt5 to openai/gpt5. The channel test fails, but the tutorial continues to token creation and a chat test in Cherry Studio. A token with no expiry and unlimited quota is selected for this demonstration.

The supplied description adds a setup correction: enter the server address in system settings before restarting Docker Compose for the Cherry Studio connection. The final sections inspect request logs and explain channel priority and weighted load balancing among channels with equal priority.
