Introduction to ChatGPT-Web

ChatGPT-Web is an easy-to-use online chat platform implemented using the official ChatGPT API. It has been adjusted from its original form to provide a simple HTML-based interface for real-time online conversations. This project, available at this link, focuses on providing a minimalistic chat experience by employing the OpenAI ChatGPT API. For users interested in a free version of ChatGPT, they can access chatgpt-html.

Features

The ChatGPT-Web project is designed with simplicity in mind, particularly aimed at beginners. It may not boast an extensive range of features, but it covers essential capabilities like continuous dialogue, isolation of multiple user sessions, and markdown format output. These core features ensure that users can engage in seamless and structured conversations online.

Deployment

Acquiring the OpenAI API KEY

Before setting up ChatGPT-Web, it is recommended to obtain an OpenAI API Key through official channels at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Configuration

The project offers two main configuration methods:

Configuring from Source: Detailed instructions are available in the original author's GitHub repository.

Using Docker Compose: This approach involves:

Creating a .env configuration file and adding the following line:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY="Your OpenAI API KEY"
```

Creating a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:

services:
  chatgpt:
    image: sheepgreen/chatgpt-web
    container_name: webchat
    volumes:
      - ./.env:/chatgpt-web/.env
      # Default UI is built-in; to use a custom UI, uncomment the line below:
      # - ./chat.html:/chatgpt-web/templates/chat.html
    ports:
      - "8888:8088" # Change the external port as needed
    restart: always

Executing the command docker-compose up -d to start the chat service.

Important Notes

The chat service can be accessed at http://ip:port/chat.
If there are any changes made to the chat.html file, it is necessary to restart the Docker container using docker restart webchat for the modifications to take effect.
