## Prerequisite
To install aaPanel, go to the [aaPanel](https://www.aapanel.com/new/download.html#install) official website and select the corresponding script to download and install.
## Deployment
1. Log in to aaPanel and click `Docker` in the menu bar 
2. The first time you will be prompted to install the `Docker` and `Docker Compose` services, click Install Now. If it is already installed, please ignore it. 
3. After the installation is complete, find `LobeChat` in `One-Click Install` and click `install`\
4. configure basic information such as the domain name, OpenAI API key, and port to complete the installation Note: The domain name is optional, if the domain name is filled, it can be managed through \[Website]--> \[Proxy Project], and you do not need to check \[Allow external access] after filling in the domain name, otherwise you need to check it before you can access it through the port 
5. After installation, enter the domain name or IP+ port set in the previous step in the browser to access.
- Name: application name, default `LobeChat-random characters`
- Version selection: default `latest`
- Domain name: If you need to access directly through the domain name, please configure the domain name here and resolve the domain name to the server
- Allow external access: If you need direct access through `IP+Port`, please check. If you have set up a domain name, please do not check here.
- Port: Default `3210`, can be modified by yourself
6. After submission, the panel will automatically initialize the application, which will take about `1-3` minutes. It can be accessed after the initialization is completed.
⚠️ Do not enable any form of cache in the reverse proxy settings of the panel to avoid affecting
the normal operation of the service. Read more at
