# Docker

## Docker

To run the ChatGPT application with Docker, follow these steps:

1. **Provide all necessary credentials** such as API keys, access tokens, and the Mongo Connection String in the `docker-compose.yml` file under the api service.
2. **Run the command** `docker-compose up` to start the application.

Note: MongoDB does not support older ARM CPUs like those found in Raspberry Pis. However, you can make it work by setting MongoDB's version to `mongo:4.4.18` in `docker-compose.yml`, which is the most recent version compatible with such devices.

To download the latest version of ChatGPT's Docker image, please visit the [**chatgptclone/app Tags | Docker Hub**](https://hub.docker.com/r/chatgptclone/app/tags) page.

#### Prerequisites

To use ChatGPT, you need to have the following:

* Node.js >= 19.0.0: <https://nodejs.org/en/download>
* MongoDB installed or [MongoDB Atlas](https://account.mongodb.com/account/login) (required if not using Docker)
  * MongoDB does not support older ARM CPUs like those found in Raspberry Pis. However, you can make it work by setting MongoDB's version to `mongo:4.4.18` in `docker-compose.yml`, which is the most recent version compatible with such devices.
  * If you are using MongoDB Atlas, remove `&w=majority` from the default connection string.
* [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys)
