Our infrastructure might seem a bit confusing, but it's actually quite simple. Just the first one really matters for you, if you want to access our AI API. The other ones are just for the team.
### AI API
**Public** (everyone can use it with a valid API key)
Create a `.env` file, make sure not to reveal any of its contents to anyone, and fill in the required values in the format `KEY=VALUE`. Otherwise, the code won't run.
### Database
Set up a MongoDB database and set `MONGO_URI` to the MongoDB database connection URI. Quotation marks are definetly recommended here!
### Proxy
-`PROXY_TYPE` (optional, defaults to `socks.PROXY_TYPE_HTTP`): the type of proxy - can be `http`, `https`, `socks4`, `socks5`, `4` or `5`, etc...
-`PROXY_HOST`: the proxy host (host domain or IP address), without port!
-`PROXY_PORT` (optional)
-`PROXY_USER` (optional)
-`PROXY_PASS` (optional)
Want to use a proxy list? See the according section!
Keep in mind to set `USE_PROXY_LIST` to `True`! Otherwise, the proxy list won't be used.
### `ACTUAL_IPS` (optional)
This is a security measure to make sure a proxy, VPN, Tor or any other IP hiding service is used by the host when accessing "Closed"AI's API.
It is a space separated list of IP addresses that are allowed to access the API.
You can also just add the *beginning* of an API address, like `12.123.` (without an asterisk!) to allow all IPs starting with `12.123.`.
> To disable the warning if you don't have this feature enabled, set `ACTUAL_IPS` to `None`.
### Timeout
`TRANSFER_TIMEOUT` seconds to wait until the program throws an exception for if the request takes too long. We recommend rather long times like `120` for two minutes.
### Core Keys
`CORE_API_KEY` specifies the **very secret key** for which need to access the entire user database etc.
`TEST_NOVA_KEY` is the API key the which is used in tests. It should be one with tons of credits.
### Webhooks
`DISCORD_WEBHOOK__USER_CREATED` is the Discord webhook URL for when a user is created.
`DISCORD_WEBHOOK__API_ISSUE` is the Discord webhook URL for when an API issue occurs.
### Other
`KEYGEN_INFIX` can be almost any string (avoid spaces or special characters) - this string will be put in the middle of every NovaAI API key which is generated. This is useful for identifying the source of the key using e.g. RegEx.
## Proxy Lists
To use proxy lists, navigate to `api/secret/proxies/` and create the following files:
-`http.txt`
-`socks4.txt`
-`socks5.txt`
Then, paste your proxies in the following format:
```
[username:password@]host:port
```
e.g.
```
1.2.3.4:8080
user:pass@127.0.0.1:1337
```
You can use comments just like in Python.
**Important:** to use the proxy lists, you need to change the `USE_PROXY_LIST` environment variable to `True`!
## Run
> **Warning:** read the according section for production usage!
For developement:
```bash
python run
```
This will run the development server on port `2332`.
You can also specify a port, e.g.:
```bash
python run 1337
```
## Adding a provider
## Test if it works
`python checks`
## Ports
```yml
2332: Developement (default)
2333: Production
```
## Production
Make sure your server is secure and up to date.
Check everything.
The following command will run the API __without__ a reloader!
