This project is a web server that creates an image based on a user-input prompt. It is using DallE 3 (you will need an OpenAI API account). It was mostly written using ChatGPT just to see how far it would go (even this Readme!).
Note: It can optionally save each image to the disk with its prompt, for safekeeping.
server.py: Flask server that serves an HTML page and runs an image generating function when a form on the HTML page is submitted.index.html: HTML page that takes user input and sends it to the Flask server.Dockerfile: Dockerfile to build a container for running this project.requirements.txt: Python dependencies needed for this project. Dependencies should be pinned, yes, but it's just a toyinprogress.gif: a GIF shown in the user interface while the image is being generated.
- First, build the Docker image as follows:
docker build -t microdalle .- Run the Docker image:
docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY -e SAVE_DIR=/images -v LOCAL_DIR:/images -p 8000:8000 microdalleNote: -e SAVE_DIR=/images -v LOCAL_DIR:/images is optional and only if you want to save all the images as they are generated.
They will be saved in /images on the docker container, and LOCAL_DIR on your filesystem. Usual issues with access right applies.
- Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8000.
- Enter your parameters in the form and click
