In my setup, it is the front desk for AI usage: every app talks to one endpoint, while the gateway routes requests to authorized upstream providers and handles tokens, quotas, groups, model limits, logs, and usage accounting. For a personal deployment, the big win is not “one more dashboard”; it is no longer scattering upstream keys across every client, script, and agent.</p> <p>This post explains why I wanted a self-hosted model relay, what people usually misunderstand, how to deploy a minimal Docker Compose version, why I add persistent storage, and how to use one-click scripts for Windows 11, Ubuntu 26.04, and macOS 26. It also includes an agent-driven setup prompt with strict boundaries. No private address, complete machine name, private domain, or real secret is included.</p> </blockquote>
