If you just want to run it locally, the best way is to use Docker.
First, install Docker if you haven't already: Get Docker
Then run:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
-e AI_PROVIDER=openai \
-e AI_MODEL=gpt-4o \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key \
ghcr.io/dayuanjiang/next-ai-draw-io:latestOr use an env file:
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env ghcr.io/dayuanjiang/next-ai-draw-io:latestYou can mount an ai-models.json file into the container to provide multiple server-side models without exposing user API keys:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key \
-v $(pwd)/ai-models.json:/app/ai-models.json:ro \
ghcr.io/dayuanjiang/next-ai-draw-io:latestIf you prefer to keep the config in a different path inside the container, set AI_MODELS_CONFIG_PATH:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key \
-e AI_MODELS_CONFIG_PATH=/config/ai-models.json \
-v $(pwd)/ai-models.json:/config/ai-models.json:ro \
ghcr.io/dayuanjiang/next-ai-draw-io:latestOpen http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
Replace the environment variables with your preferred AI provider configuration. See AI Providers for available options.
