Full Rust AI Chat

This is an implentation of an AI Chat inspired by Code to the Moon youtube channel.

Don't worry if the chat takes time to answer, the model is running on your computer, watch your activity monitor.

You will need an account at huggingface to download the model, make sure to have git-lfs installed before cloning the repository:

git lfs install && git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:kantum/ai-chat.git
cd ai-chat

You will need the cargo leptos cli to build the app:

cargo install --locked cargo-leptos

Running the project for dev

In two terminals:

npx tailwindcss -i ./input.css -o ./style/output.css --watch

cargo leptos watch

Compiling for Release

cargo leptos build --release

Will generate your server binary in target/server/release and your site package in target/site

Run the Release Binary

./target/server/release/ai-chat

Testing Your Project

cargo leptos end-to-end

cargo leptos end-to-end --release

Cargo-leptos uses Playwright as the end-to-end test tool. Tests are located in end2end/tests directory.

Executing a Server on a Remote Machine Without the Toolchain

After running a cargo leptos build --release the minimum files needed are:

1. The server binary located in target/server/release
2. The site directory and all files within located in target/site

Copy these files to your remote server. The directory structure should be:

ai-chat
site/

Set the following environment variables (updating for your project as needed):

LEPTOS_OUTPUT_NAME="ai-chat"
LEPTOS_SITE_ROOT="site"
LEPTOS_SITE_PKG_DIR="pkg"
LEPTOS_SITE_ADDR="127.0.0.1:3000"
LEPTOS_RELOAD_PORT="3001"

Finally, run the server binary.
