Summary

This project provides a self-hostable, OpenAI-compatible API gateway by reverse-engineering the ChatGPT official website protocol. It targets engineers and power users needing to integrate ChatGPT's text and image capabilities, offering advanced multi-account management, robust image handling, and a comprehensive administrative console for flexible self-hosted deployments.

How It Works

The core architecture reverse-engineers ChatGPT's web protocol to expose an OpenAI-compatible API supporting text, image generation/editing, and web search. Key features include sophisticated multi-account scheduling, proxy group management, detailed image pipeline diagnostics, and an integrated Vue-based management console. This approach aims for a superior self-hosted experience for high-concurrency image workloads and complex account management.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation is streamlined via a one-click curl script or Docker Compose. Prerequisites include Docker and basic command-line tools. Optional WARP, Privoxy, and FlareSolverr integration enhances Cloudflare stability. The project exposes a local web panel (e.g., http://localhost:3000) and an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:3000/v1).

Highlighted Details
