Chainlit Backend Implementation

This project is a reverse-engineered version of Chainlit's cloud, offering limited functionality. It focuses on enabling the saving of conversations, messages, and adding new users to a Chainlit-like application without using chainlit's cloud.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • pip (Python package manager)
  • Git

Installation

  1. Clone the Repository

    Clone the project repository to your local machine.

    git clone https://github.com/nickandbro/chainlit_backend_implementation
cd chainlit_backend_implementation

  2. Set Up a Virtual Environment

    Create and activate a virtual environment for the project.

    python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux

  3. Install Chainlit

    If you haven't installed chainlit, install version 0.7.700 as its the last proven version that works

    pip install chainlit==0.7.700

  4. Install Other Dependencies

    Install the required dependencies from the requirements.txt file.

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  5. Environment Variables Set the following environment variables for your chainlit client:

    CHAINLIT_AUTH_SECRET="EMPTY"
CHAINLIT_API_KEY="your key"
CHAINLIT_SERVER="http://127.0.0.1:5000"

  6. Run the Server

    To run the server, use the following command:

    uvicorn main:app --port 5000

    Add --host 0.0.0.0 if you want to host publicly

Current Problems

1. Currently limited to just saving/retrieving/deleting conversations and creating/gettings users
2. Relies on version 0.7.700 for compatibility. Most likely chainlit 1.0.0 is going to use a completely different graphQL schema
