ChatGPT Web (by 869413421) is an open-source, self-hosted web application that gives you your own private ChatGPT-style site powered by the OpenAI API. Written in Go and distributed as ready-to-run binaries and Docker images, it turns a single API key into a polished chat website you can customize — persona, creativity, answer length — and share with your own users. The project has about 3,100 stars on GitHub; its codebase was last updated in 2024.
Deployment is deliberately one-click: download the release for your platform, drop your API key into the config file, and the site is live on port 8080. The interface renders Markdown and code, keeps conversation context, and exposes more than twenty parameter presets from OpenAI’s examples — an AI chat companion, a product-name generator, a Python code fixer and more — by simply changing the bot description and sampling settings. A built-in user module with JWT authentication lets you run the site for a team or community rather than exposing a raw key, and proxy support plus configurable API endpoints help in restricted networks. Docker, docker-compose and systemd setups are documented, and an NGINX reverse-proxy example covers HTTPS deployments.
ChatGPT Web is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You supply your own OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly for the tokens your site consumes.
ChatGPT Web is for individuals and small teams who want a private, customizable ChatGPT front end on their own server — with their own branding, personas and access control — instead of relying on the public chatgpt.com site.
