Can't get web interface to work

[buffeh]

Hi, hope someone can help.

I didn't think I'd have any issues as it uses a setup script to basically sort everything for you. So I thought even my self with some but not a lot of Linux knowledge would be fine! I even made sure to use Ubuntu Server and a Raspberry Pi 4 - just like the developer - to reduce the chance of issues.

The setup script didn't work 100% like the Github page said it would, and would fail, until I installed the dependencies manually then it all worked beautifully and the services etc were setup.

The project is useless without the web interface, and as far as I could tell, this isn't set up by default, and the instructions at https://github.com/judahpaul16/gpt-home/tree/main/src/frontend need to be followed to get it up and running and hosted.

So - I followed these instructions exactly and ran sudo npm install (I had to actually install npm first), and that ran ok, with a few warnings about depreciated things but no critical errors. Then I ran sudo npm start, and it compiled and started hosting on port 3000 with no errors, it specifically said all is ok.

I was then able to connect and see the web page, the Integrations page seemed to work fine, but the event logs page would show an error "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" and the settings page would just say "Loading" forever.

Additionally if I try and build the project with sudo npm run build, that works ok, but when I serve it with sudo serve -s build, it starts serving fine, but when looking at the web page at localhost:3000 I either get just a directory listing of the files in the frontend/build folder, or I get a screen prompting me to choose a password, but if I try and set one, I get the error "Error hashing password: undefined". I would expect to at least see the same website as when running sudo npm test, even if it's broken.

I have absolutely no idea what I could have done wrong or what the problem is. I would imagine if everyone was having this problem, it would be apparent in the Issues section on Github, so I don't think it's a problem with the project in general.

If anyone could offer any advice or point me in the right direction to try and get this sorted, I'd be really grateful.

Fixed it, I was mistaken about having to setup the Frontend web page manually, the setup script did do it and the web interface is actually on port 80 (not 3000) - for anyone else who finds this :)

You got it. You can see the status of all docker services by running docker exec -it gpt-home supervisorctl status. The instructions at https://github.com/judahpaul16/gpt-home/tree/main/src/frontend are for if you want to make changes to the web interface. When you run npm install and npm run start it will launch a development server on the computer you run the commands on at localhost:3000 so you can see the frontend changes you make. You would then do npm run build to rebuild the frontend to the build folder and run docker exec -it gpt-home restart web-interface to have the changes reflected in the docker container.
