🚀 Quick Start

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api.git
cd new-api

# Edit docker-compose.yml configuration
nano docker-compose.yml

# Start the service
docker-compose up -d

Using Docker Commands

# Pull the latest image
docker pull calciumion/new-api:latest

# Using SQLite (default)
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

# Using MySQL
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e SQL_DSN="root:123456@tcp(localhost:3306)/oneapi" \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

💡 Tip: -v ./data:/data will save data in the data folder of the current directory, you can also change it to an absolute path like -v /your/custom/path:/data

🔧 Deployment Methods

Method 1: Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api.git
cd new-api

# Edit configuration
nano docker-compose.yml

# Start service
docker-compose up -d

Method 2: Docker Commands

Using SQLite:

docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

Using MySQL:

docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e SQL_DSN="root:123456@tcp(localhost:3306)/oneapi" \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

💡 Path explanation:

• ./data:/data - Relative path, data saved in the data folder of the current directory
• You can also use absolute path, e.g.: /your/custom/path:/data

Method 3: BaoTa Panel

1. Install BaoTa Panel (≥ 9.2.0 version)
2. Search for New-API in the application store
3. One-click installation

📖 Tutorial with images

⚠️ Multi-machine Deployment Considerations

• Must set SESSION_SECRET - Otherwise login status inconsistent
• Shared Redis must set CRYPTO_SECRET - Otherwise data cannot be decrypted

🔄 Channel Retry and Cache

Retry configuration: Settings → Operation Settings → General Settings → Failure Retry Count

Cache configuration:

• REDIS_CONN_STRING: Redis cache (recommended)
• MEMORY_CACHE_ENABLED: Memory cache
