 "title": "Run a self-hosted Codex account-pool gateway with Docker",
 "page_title": "How to run a self-hosted Codex account-pool gateway with Docker with Codex LB Enhanced",
 "summary": "Start the gateway in a container, add accounts, and create an API key in the dashboard.",
 "who": "A developer or small team that wants one local endpoint for Codex and OpenAI-compatible clients, backed by several upstream accounts they control.",
 "problem": "Single upstream accounts hit quota limits or drop long Codex sessions, and each client needs its own setup.",
 "outcome": "A running gateway at localhost:2455 with accounts added, an API key created, and a persistent SQLite data volume.",
 "steps": [
  "Create the Docker network if it does not exist: `docker network inspect codex-lb-net >/dev/null 2>&1 || docker network create codex-lb-net`",
  "Create the data volume: `docker volume create codex-lb-enhanced-data`",
  "Start the container: `docker run -d --name codex-lb-enhanced --restart unless-stopped -e CODEX_LB_HTTP_RESPONSES_SESSION_BRIDGE_AMBIGUOUS_CONTINUATION_RECOVERY_MODE=server_indefinite_recovery --network codex-lb-net -p 2455:2455 -p 1455:1455 -v codex-lb-enhanced-data:/var/lib/codex-lb ghcr.io/aafqaq/codex-lb-enhanced:1.25.3` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open http://localhost:2455, complete initialization, and add your accounts.",
  "Create an API key in the dashboard and save it for your clients."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the aafqaq/codex-lb-enhanced repo, run the Docker quick start to start the gateway as the container named codex-lb-enhanced, using the target directory <workdir>. Report the container status from `docker ps` and confirm that http://localhost:2455 responds. Verify that the data volume codex-lb-enhanced-data exists before you finish.",
