WebSVF

This is the WebSVF repo which highlights the static webSVF github io for redirecting to the deployed WebSVF pages https://svf-tools.github.io/WebSVF/

Capstone Project for the WebSVF can be found within this Repo as a sub module learn more about submodules at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

For a quick introduction to the latest addition in WebSVF 4.0, the CodeGPT panel, please have a watch of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf6vAyzOlJ0

The new feature allows users to communicate with OpenAI's GPT 3.5-Turbo engine, and attach any of their files present on the site!

Create EC2 instance from custom WebSVF AMI

These instructions are adapted from official AWS documentation (sources listed below).

It is highly recommended you read through the sources in detail if you're unfamiliar with the AWS environment, especially with AWS EC2.

WebSVF AMI: ami-06787f758a0b88e83

1a. Sign up for an AWS account

If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.

To sign up for an AWS account

1. Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup.

2. Follow the online instructions.

Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.

When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to an administrative user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.

AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by going to https://aws.amazon.com/ and choosing My Account.

1b. Login to AWS account

Login to your AWS account through the AWS Management Console.

2. Create a key pair

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Key Pairs.

3. Choose Create key pair.

4. For Name, enter a descriptive name for the key pair. Amazon EC2 associates the public key with the name that you specify as the key name.

5. For Key pair type, choose RSA

6. For Private key file format, choose the format in which to save the private key.

7. Choose Create key pair.

8. The private key file is automatically downloaded by your browser. The base file name is the name you specified as the name of your key pair, and the file name extension is determined by the file format you chose. Save the private key file in a safe place.

3. Access Amazon EC2

Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/

4. Launch EC2 instance

1. From the EC2 console dashboard, in the Launch instance box, choose Launch instance, and then choose Launch instance from the options that appear.

2. Under Name and tags, for Name, enter a descriptive name for your instance.

3. Under Application and OS Images (Amazon Machine Image), do the following:

   • Choose Quick Start, and then choose Amazon Linux. This is the operating system (OS) for your instance.

   • From Amazon Machine Image (AMI), choose Browse more AMIs to browse the full AMI catalog.

   • Choose Community AMIs

   • Search for the AMI ami-06787f758a0b88e83

   • Select it

4. Under Key pair (login), for Key pair name, choose the key pair that you created when getting set up.

5. Review a summary of your instance configuration in the Summary panel, and when you're ready, choose Launch instance.

Troubleshoot

No usable version of libssl was found error

If this error occurs, there should be a libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.21_amd64.deb that can be installed by running the following command.

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.21_amd64.deb

If this libssl file is not here, you can run the following commands

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
tar -xzvf openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1c
./config
make
sudo make install (it puts it into /usr/local/lib so it doesn't mess with the rest of your system)

Then, run this command to map this command temporarily via LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You will need to run this command everytime the computer restarts.

export export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"

Source for no usable libssl if there is no libssl file. dotnet/core#4749

API Key

If you want to change the API key for codeGPT or come across the error 'apiKey' does not exist.

Add the APIKey in environment.ts (clientApp->src/environments->environments.ts).

To generate the API key, you will need to:

1. create an account with OpenAI.
2. After logging in, select 'API'.
3. Click on the GPT icon in the top left corner to expand the sidebar
4. Select API Keys. Here, you can generate a key and add it as the value to the apiKey variable.

An alternative method can also be to use a dotenv file, you can find some documentation on this here. This will allow you to secure the API keys over public repositories. https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-secure-angular-environment-variables-for-use-in-github-actions-39c07587d590
