Local Model Plus Outbound Delivery

• the model runtime stays local or self-hosted
• delivery stays outbound-only
• nothing here is documented as if it joins the runtime-backed gateway owner contract

​

When This Is The Right Playbook

• local control over the model runtime matters more than hosted convenience
• no inbound or reply-loop channel is required on day one
• the team wants notifications, reports, or alerts delivered outward without overclaiming runtime support

​

Use A Different Playbook If

​

Step 1: Bring Up The Local Provider

active_provider = "local"

[providers.local]
kind = "ollama"
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:11434"
model = "auto"

loong doctor
loong ask --message "Confirm that the local provider is healthy."

• if the server effectively serves one production model, pin model explicitly instead of forcing catalog discovery drama

​

Step 2: Add One Outbound Surface

[webhook]
enabled = true
endpoint_url = { env = "WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_URL" }
auth_token = { env = "WEBHOOK_AUTH_TOKEN" }
payload_format = "json_text"
payload_text_field = "text"

loong channels send webhook --text "local-runtime smoke test"

[email]
enabled = true
smtp_host = "smtp.example.com"
smtp_username = { env = "EMAIL_SMTP_USERNAME" }
smtp_password = { env = "EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD" }
from_address = "loong@example.com"

loong channels send email --target "ops@example.com" --text $'Local run is healthy\nEverything is green.'

​

Step 3: Keep The Boundary Truthful

• webhook, email, Slack, Discord, Teams, and similar surfaces are outbound-only
• they do not join the same reply-loop owner model as Feishu / Lark, Telegram, Matrix, or WeCom
• do not route this setup description toward gateway run as if outbound-only delivery became a supervised runtime

​

Step 4: Adjust The Outbound HTTP Boundary When Needed

[outbound_http]
allow_private_hosts = true
