Configuring AI Server

AI Server can be configured in several ways:

  • install.sh Script: Run the install.sh script to set up the AI Server and ComfyUI Agent.
  • .env File: Update the .env file with your API keys and run the AI Server for the first time.
  • Admin Portal: Use the Admin Portal to add, edit, or remove AI Providers and generate AI Server API keys.

Running the Installer​

The install.sh script is the quickest way to get AI Server up and running with the default configuration. This is ideal for local development and testing.

To run the installer:

git clone https://github.com/ServiceStack/ai-server.git
cd ai-server
cat install.sh | bash

The installer will prompt you to configure your AI Providers and optionally add the ComfyUI Agent.

.env Configuration​

The installer populates the .env file with the choices you made during the installation script. You can also manually configure the .env file with your API keys and settings.

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key
AUTH_SECRET=p@55wOrd
ASSETS_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5006

After these values are set in your .env file, you can run the AI Server for the first time via docker compose:

docker compose up

This will perform an initial setup, saving providers configuration in the SQLite database. From here, you can manage your AI Providers via the Admin Portal.

INFO

The default credentials to access the Admin Portal are p@55wOrd, this can be changed in your .env file by setting the AUTH_SECRET key.

Using the Admin Portal​

The Admin Portal provides a more interactive way to manage your AI Providers after the AI Server is running.

To access the Admin Portal:

  1. Navigate to http://localhost:5006/admin.
  2. Log in with the default credentials p@55wOrd.
  3. Click on the AI Providers tab to view and manage your AI Providers.

Generating AI Server API Keys​
