ChatGPT Web

Introduction

Important

This project is forked from Chanzhaoyu/chatgpt-web

As the original project author does not agree to introduce a dependency on the database, this Hard Fork was created for independent development discussion for details

Thank you again, the great Chanzhaoyu, for your contributions to the open-source project 🙏

Some unique features have been added:

[✓] Register & Login & Reset Password & 2FA

[✓] Sync chat history

[✓] Front-end page setting apikey

[✓] Custom Sensitive Words

[✓] Set unique prompts for each chat room

[✓] Users manager

[✓] Random Key

[✓] Conversation round limit & setting different limits by user & giftcards

[✓] Implement SSO login through the auth proxy feature (need to integrate a third-party authentication reverse proxy, it can support login protocols such as LDAP/OIDC/SAML)

ChatGPT Web

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:

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).
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

Switching Methods:

Go to the service/.env.example file and copy the contents to the service/.env file.
For OpenAI API Key, fill in the OPENAI_API_KEY field (Get apiKey).
For Web API, fill in the OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN field (Get accessToken).
When both are present, OpenAI API Key takes precedence.

Reverse Proxy:

Available when using ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI.Details

# service/.env
API_REVERSE_PROXY=

Environment Variables:

For all parameter variables, check here or see:

/service/.env

Prerequisites

Node

node requires version ^16 || ^18 || ^20 || ^22, and multiple local node versions can be managed using nvm.

node -v

PNPM

If you have not installed pnpm before:

npm install pnpm -g

Fill in the Keys

Get Openai Api Key or accessToken and fill in the local environment variables jump

# 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

pnpm install

Frontend

Run the following command in the root directory

pnpm bootstrap

Run in Test Environment

Backend Service

Enter the /service folder and run the following command

pnpm start

Frontend Webpage

Run the following command in the root directory

pnpm dev

Packaging

Deployment with Railway

Refer to this issue https://github.com/Kerwin1202/chatgpt-web/issues/266

Note: Changing environment variables in Railway will cause re-deployment.

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.

# Install
pnpm install

# Build
pnpm build

# Run
pnpm prod

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

Frontend webpage

Refer to the root directory .env.example file content to create .env file, modify VITE_GLOB_API_URL in .env at the root directory to your actual backend interface address.
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

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.

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.

Q: The content returned is incomplete?

A: There is a length limit for the content returned by the API each time. You can modify the VITE_GLOB_OPEN_LONG_REPLY field in the .env file under the root directory, set it to true, and rebuild the front-end to enable the long reply feature, which can return the full content. It should be noted that using this feature may bring more API usage fees.

Auth Proxy Mode

Warning

This feature is only provided for Operations Engineer with relevant experience to deploy during the integration of the enterprise's internal account management system. Improper configuration may lead to security risks.

Set env AUTH_PROXY_ENABLED=true can enable auth proxy mode.

After activating this feature, it is necessary to ensure that chatgpt-web can only be accessed through a reverse proxy.

Authentication is carried out by the reverse proxy, which then forwards the request with the header to identify the user identity. Default header name is X-Email, can custom config use set env AUTH_PROXY_HEADER_NAME.

Recommended for current IdP to use LDAP protocol, using authelia

Recommended for current IdP to use OIDC protocol, using oauth2-proxy
