# Self-hosting DocsGPT on Railway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to host DocsGPT on Railway App.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At first Clone and set up the project locally to run , test and Modify.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Clone and GitHub SetUp
|
|
|
|
a. Open Terminal (Windows Shell or Git bash(recommended)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b. Type `git clone https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT.git`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Download the package information
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once it has finished cloning the repository, it is time to download the package information from all sources. To do so, simply enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt update`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Install Docker and Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DocsGPT backend and worker use Python, Frontend is written on React and the whole application is containerized using Docker. To install Docker and Docker Compose, enter the following commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt install docker.io`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And now install docker-compose:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt install docker-compose`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Access the DocsGPT Folder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enter the following command to access the folder in which the DocsGPT docker-compose file is present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`cd DocsGPT/`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Prepare the Environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inside the DocsGPT folder create a `.env` file and copy the contents of `.env_sample` into it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`nano .env`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure your `.env` file looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
OPENAI_API_KEY=(Your OpenAI API key)
|
|
|
|
VITE_API_STREAMING=true
|
|
|
|
SELF_HOSTED_MODEL=false
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To save the file, press CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, set the correct IP for the Backend by opening the docker-compose.yml file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`nano docker-compose.yml`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And Change line 7 to: `VITE_API_HOST=http://localhost:7091`
|
|
|
|
to this `VITE_API_HOST=http://<your instance public IP>:7091`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will allow the frontend to connect to the backend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Running the Application
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're almost there! Now that all the necessary bits and pieces have been installed, it is time to run the application. To do so, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo docker-compose up -d`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Launching it for the first time will take a few minutes to download all the necessary dependencies and build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once this is done you can go ahead and close the terminal window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Pushing it to your own Repository

|
|
|
|
|
|
