📥 Installation

Option 1: Direct Deployment (Recommended)

Requirements: Node.js 20+, npm, Git

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/zhaiiker/Chat2API-web.git
cd Chat2API-web

# Install dependencies
npm ci

# Build frontend + backend
npm run build

# Start (default port 8080)
PORT=8080 node dist/backend/index.js

# Start (Windows PowerShell)
$env:PORT="8080"; $env:HOST="0.0.0.0"; node dist/backend/index.js

Open http://your-server:8080 in a browser. On first visit you'll set an administrator password.

Run with PM2 (recommended for production):

npm install -g pm2

# Start
PORT=8080 pm2 start dist/backend/index.js --name chat2api

# Auto-start on boot
pm2 startup
pm2 save

# View logs
pm2 logs chat2api

Option 2: Docker

# Build and start
docker compose up -d --build

# View logs
docker compose logs -f chat2api

Or with custom port:

PORT=9000 docker compose up -d --build

The docker-compose.yml uses a named volume (chat2api-data) so data persists across container restarts.

Option 3: Development Mode

npm ci
npm run dev

This starts both backend (port 8080) and frontend dev server (port 5173) with hot reload.

⚙️ Configuration

All configuration is done via environment variables or the .env file:

Variable	Default	Description
PORT	8080	Server port
HOST	0.0.0.0	Bind address
CHAT2API_DATA_DIR	~/.chat2api	Data directory
CHAT2API_MANAGEMENT_SECRET	(auto)	Pin management API secret
CHAT2API_ENCRYPTION_KEY	(auto)	Pin credential encryption key

🔧 Usage

1. Open the web UI → Add a provider (e.g. DeepSeek)
2. Paste your token from the provider's website
3. Create an API Key in the API Key Management page
4. Point your AI client to http://your-server:8080/v1 with the API key

Works with Cherry Studio, Chatbox, OpenCat, Cline, Roo-Code, or any OpenAI-compatible tool.
