GPTBridge

• Server Repo: [email protected]:patfinder/GPTBridge.git

• App repo: [email protected]:patfinder/GPTBridge-app.git

• ChatGPT bridge is an application supports submitting a prompt to ChatGPT and retrieve the result.

• It uses Selenium to control a ChatGPT website.

• The web server to receive the UI request is Python http.server. The app UI is a React app.

UI App

• App is configured to be hosted on the same web server as GPTBridge server. The folder is /app. Open /app/index.html

Notes

• To serve React app from the same server, build React app: npm run build
• Then create link to build folder of React app. ln -s ../GPTBridge-app/build/ app

Step to start app

Start GPTBridge server

• NOTE: This is tested and worked for Firefox on Ubuntu.

  • Chrome seem not working (properly because of Chrome security block to automation)

• Open Firefox with the profile used for running Selenium (This profile folder must be the same as FirefoxProfile() option in code.)

firefox --profile /home/vuong/tmp/FirefoxProfile

• Go to GPTBridge folder.
• Start GPTBridge python server with below command:

python main.py

A Firefox browser will be launched with ChatGPT opened.

• Login to ChatGPT using your account if you haven't.

Open UI app (GPTBridge-app)

• Open UI app with this URL: http://localhost:8000/app/index.html (See below for how to host on Internet)

• You can now start send query to ChatGPT and view response.

Expose your server to Internet

If you want to expose your app to Internet, follow below steps:

• Register account and login to ngrok.com. This tool will help you to expose the local server to the Internet.
• On dashboard.ngrok.com, open Getting Started > Setup & Installation; Follow instructions there. Major steps .
• Install ngrok to local machine.
• Follow the instructions there to configure (authenticate) your local ngrok.

ngrok config add-authtoken 2V5xp6i......_....USNVA

• Run below command to expose your server to Internet

ngrok http http://localhost:8000

Ngrok console will display the status of the server, with one line similar to below:

...
Web Interface                 http://127.0.0.1:4040
Forwarding                    https://ed64-2607-fea8-4f41-6700-c314-5b14-2762-2d50.ngrok-free.app -> http://localhost:8000
...

Now you can open the URL on the "Forwarding" line above to access your server from Internet.

TODO

• Authenticate access with password?
• Lock Selenium to avoid multiple concurrent queries.
• Write log of user's queries, with IP address.
• Keep previous query on UI, write new query and result on top.
