Common Setups

Use this page when onboard, ask, or chat already makes sense and you want one practical setup shape instead of reading provider, channel, and gateway pages separately. This page is now the setup hub, not another long cookbook. The detailed operational steps live in dedicated playbooks. If you want the shared public config shape before you pick a playbook, start with Configuration Patterns.

Start With The Common Cases

These playbooks cover a few repeatable rollout shapes. They are representative paths, not the full support matrix. Use Provider Guides and Channel Guides when you want the broader family-by-family map instead of one end-to-end playbook. Keep Provider Recipes and Channel Recipes for representative patterns. All routes here stay inside the current public contract:
  • runtime-backed service channels are still Feishu / Lark, Telegram, Matrix, WhatsApp, and WeCom
  • outbound-only surfaces stay outbound-only
  • gateway run remains the explicit owner contract for longer-lived service supervision

If you still just need one provider to work locally, go back to First Run and Provider Guides instead of treating this hub like a provider-only guide.

Shared Validation Loop

Use the same short loop after each setup slice:
loong doctor
loong list-models
loong channels
When gateway ownership is involved, add:
loong gateway status --json

Reading Rules

  • Start with the base CLI path first. Do not treat a channel or gateway setup as step zero.
  • Use Configuration Patterns when the rollout is clear but you still want the shared provider, account, and memory shape before a playbook.
  • Use a dedicated playbook when the rollout shape is already clear.
  • Use provider-only or channel-only recipe pages when the setup is still narrow.
  • Move to gateway selectors only after named accounts.<id> entries exist.
