## Introduction

Supports dual models, provides two unofficial `ChatGPT API` methods:

| Method                                        | Free?  | Reliability | Quality |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------ | ----------- | ------- |
| `ChatGPTAPI(gpt-3.5-turbo-0301)`                           | No     | Reliable    | Relatively clumsy |
| `ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI(Web accessToken)` | Yes    | Relatively unreliable | Smart |

Comparison:
1. `ChatGPTAPI` uses `gpt-3.5-turbo-0301` to simulate `ChatGPT` through the official `OpenAI` completion `API` (the most reliable method, but it is not free and does not use models specifically tuned for chat).
2. `ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI` accesses `ChatGPT`'s backend `API` via an unofficial proxy server to bypass `Cloudflare` (uses the real `ChatGPT`, is very lightweight, but depends on third-party servers and has rate limits).

[Details](https://github.com/Chanzhaoyu/chatgpt-web/issues/138)

Switching Methods:
1. Go to the `service/.env` file.
2. For `OpenAI API Key`, fill in the `OPENAI_API_KEY` field [(Get apiKey)](https://platform.openai.com/overview).
3. For `Web API`, fill in the `OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN` field [(Get accessToken)](https://chat.openai.com/api/auth/session).
4. When both are present, `OpenAI API Key` takes precedence.

Reverse Proxy:

Available when using `ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI`.

```shell
# service/.env
API_REVERSE_PROXY=
```

Environment Variables:

For all parameter variables, check [here](#docker-parameter-example) or see:

```
/service/.env
```

## Roadmap
[✓] Dual models

[✓] Multiple session storage and context logic

[✓] Formatting and beautifying code-like message types

[✓] Multilingual interface

[✓] Interface themes

[✗] More...

## Prerequisites

### Node

`node` requires version `^16 || ^18` (`node >= 14` requires installation of [fetch polyfill](https://github.com/developit/unfetch#usage-as-a-polyfill)), and multiple local `node` versions can be managed using [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

```shell
node -v
```

### PNPM
If you have not installed `pnpm` before:
```shell
npm install pnpm -g
```

### Fill in the Keys

Get `Openai Api Key` or `accessToken` and fill in the local environment variables [jump](#introduction)

```
# service/.env file

# OpenAI API Key - https://platform.openai.com/overview
OPENAI_API_KEY=

# change this to an `accessToken` extracted from the ChatGPT site's `https://chat.openai.com/api/auth/session` response
OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=
```

## Install Dependencies

> To make it easier for `backend developers` to understand, we did not use the front-end `workspace` mode, but stored it in different folders. If you only need to do secondary development of the front-end page, delete the `service` folder.

### Backend

Enter the `/service` folder and run the following command

```shell
pnpm install
```

### Frontend
Run the following command in the root directory
```shell
pnpm bootstrap
```

## Run in Test Environment
### Backend Service

Enter the `/service` folder and run the following command

```shell
pnpm start
```

### Frontend Webpage
Run the following command in the root directory
```shell
pnpm dev
```

## Packaging

![docker](./docs/docker.png)

#### Docker Build & Run

```bash
docker build -t chatgpt-web .

# foreground operation
docker run --name chatgpt-web --rm -it -p 3002:3002 --env OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key chatgpt-web

# background operation
docker run --name chatgpt-web -d -p 3002:3002 --env OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key chatgpt-web

# running address
http://localhost:3002/
```

#### Docker Compose

[Hub Address](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/chenzhaoyu94/chatgpt-web/general)

```yml
version: '3'

services:
  app:
    image: chenzhaoyu94/chatgpt-web # always use latest, pull the tag image again when updating
    ports:
      - 3002:3002
    environment:
      # one of two
      OPENAI_API_KEY: xxxxxx
      # one of two
      OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN: xxxxxx
      # api interface url, optional, available when OPENAI_API_KEY is set
      OPENAI_API_BASE_URL: xxxx
      # reverse proxy, optional
      API_REVERSE_PROXY: xxx
      # timeout, in milliseconds, optional
      TIMEOUT_MS: 60000
      # socks proxy, optional, effective with SOCKS_PROXY_PORT
      SOCKS_PROXY_HOST: xxxx
      # socks proxy port, optional, effective with SOCKS_PROXY_HOST
      SOCKS_PROXY_PORT: xxxx
```
The `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL` is optional and only used when setting the `OPENAI_API_KEY`.

### Manual packaging

#### Backend service

> If you don't need the `node` interface of this project, you can skip the following steps.

Copy the `service` folder to a server that has a `node` service environment.

```shell
# Install
pnpm install

# Build
pnpm build

# Run
pnpm prod
```

PS: You can also run `pnpm start` directly on the server without packaging.

#### Frontend webpage

1. Modify `VITE_APP_API_BASE_URL` in `.env` at the root directory to your actual backend interface address.
2. Run the following command in the root directory and then copy the files in the `dist` folder to the root directory of your website service.

[Reference information](https://cn.vitejs.dev/guide/static-deploy.html#building-the-app)

```shell
pnpm build
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does Git always report an error when committing?

A: Because there is submission information verification, please follow the [Commit Guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.en.md).

Q: Where to change the request interface if only the frontend page is used?

A: The `VITE_GLOB_API_URL` field in the `.env` file at the root directory.

Q: All red when saving the file?

A: For `vscode`, please install the recommended plug-in of the project or manually install the `Eslint` plug-in.

Q: Why doesn't the frontend have a typewriter effect?

A: One possible reason is that after Nginx reverse proxying, buffering is turned on, and Nginx will try to buffer a certain amount of data from the backend before sending it to the browser. Please try adding `proxy_buffering off;` after the reverse proxy parameter and then reloading Nginx. Other web server configurations are similar.
