## 🤖 Your First LLM App
In this repository, we'll walk you through the steps to create a Large Language Model (LLM) application using Chainlit, then containerize it using Docker, and finally deploy it on Huggingface Spaces.
Are you ready? Let's get started!
🏗️ Building Your First LLM App
1. Clone [this](https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space/Beyond-ChatGPT/tree/main) repo.
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space/Beyond-ChatGPT.git
```
2. Navigate inside this repo
``` bash
cd Beyond-ChatGPT
```
3. Install the packages required for this python envirnoment in `requirements.txt`.
``` bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Open your `.env` file. Replace the `###` in your `.env` file with your OpenAI Key and save the file.
``` bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-###
```
5. Let's try deploying it locally. Make sure you're in the python environment where you installed Chainlit and OpenAI. Run the app using Chainlit. This may take a minute to run.
``` bash
chainlit run app.py -w
```
Great work! Let's see if we can interact with our chatbot.
Awesome! Time to throw it into a docker container and prepare it for shipping!
🐳 Containerizing our App
1. Let's build the Docker image. We'll tag our image as `llm-app` using the `-t` parameter. The `.` at the end means we want all of the files in our current directory to be added to our image.
``` bash
docker build -t llm-app .
```
2. Run and test the Docker image locally using the `run` command. The `-p`parameter connects our **host port #** to the left of the `:` to our **container port #** on the right.
``` bash
docker run -p 7860:7860 llm-app
```
3. Visit http://localhost:7860 in your browser to see if the app runs correctly.
Great! Time to ship!
🚀 Deploying Your First LLM App
1. Let's create a new Huggingface Space. Navigate to [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co) and click on your profile picture on the top right. Then click on `New Space`.
2. Setup your space as shown below:
- Owner: Your username
- Space Name: `llm-app`
- License: `Openrail`
- Select the Space SDK: `Docker`
- Docker Template: `Blank`
- Space Hardware: `CPU basic - 2 vCPU - 16 GB - Free`
- Repo type: `Public`
3. You should see something like this. We're now ready to send our files to our Huggingface Space. After cloning, move your files to this repo and push it along with your docker file. You DO NOT need to create a Dockerfile. Make sure NOT TO push your `.env` file. This should automatically be ignored.
4. After pushing all files, navigate to the settings in the top right to add your OpenAI API key.
5. Scroll down to `Variables and secrets` and click on `New secret` on the top right.
6. Set the name to `OPENAI_API_KEY` and add your OpenAI key under `Value`. Click save.
7. To ensure your key is being used, we recommend you `Restart this Space`.
