Adding New AI Provider Documentation

Complete workflow for adding documentation for a new AI provider.

Overview

1. Create usage documentation (EN + CN)
2. Add environment variable documentation (EN + CN)
3. Update Docker configuration files
4. Update .env.example
5. Prepare image resources

Step 1: Create Provider Usage Documentation

Required Files

• docs/usage/providers/{provider-name}.mdx (English)
• docs/usage/providers/{provider-name}.zh-CN.mdx (Chinese)

Key Requirements

• 5-6 screenshots showing the process
• Cover image for the provider
• Real registration and dashboard URLs
• Pricing information callout
• Never include real API keys - use placeholders

Reference: docs/usage/providers/fal.mdx

Step 2: Update Environment Variables Documentation

Files to Update

• docs/self-hosting/environment-variables/model-provider.mdx (EN)
• docs/self-hosting/environment-variables/model-provider.zh-CN.mdx (CN)

Content Format

### `{PROVIDER}_API_KEY`
 
-Type: Required
-Description: API key from {Provider Name}
-Example: `{api-key-format}`
 
### `{PROVIDER}_MODEL_LIST`
 
-Type: Optional
-Description: Control model list. Use `+` to add, `-` to hide
-Example: `-all,+model-1,+model-2=Display Name`

Step 3: Update Docker Files

Update all Dockerfiles at the end of ENV section:

• Dockerfile
• Dockerfile.database
• Dockerfile.pglite

# {New Provider}
{PROVIDER}_API_KEY="" {PROVIDER}_MODEL_LIST=""

Step 4: Update .env.example

### {Provider Name} ###
# {PROVIDER}_API_KEY={prefix}-xxxxxxxx

Step 5: Image Resources

• Cover image
• 3-4 API dashboard screenshots
• 2-3 LobeHub configuration screenshots
• Host on LobeHub CDN: hub-apac-1.lobeobjects.space
