Quadlets

Important notes

1. I use Fedora Kinoite which has Podman pre-installed
2. These Quadlets have been tested on Fedora Kinoite 39 with Podman 4.9.4
3. Fedora uses SELinux, hence I use :Z flag for Podman's volumes. This flag will not work without SELinux

Preparation

1. Create folders for Quadlets

mkdir -p ~/.config/containers/systemd/{chatgpt-web,stirling-pdf}

2. Create folders for app data

mkdir -p ~/podman/appdata/chatgpt-web/app
mkdir -p ~/podman/appdata/stirling-pdf/{tessdata,logs}

3. Quadlets are available in Podman 4.4+. See release notes. Check the version of Podman with:

podman version

chatgpt-web

Build container with a Dockerfile from this Niek van der Maas' repo.

cd /tmp
git clone [email protected]:Niek/chatgpt-web.git
cd chatgpt-web
podman build . -t chatgpt-web

stirling-pdf

1. Download the required Tesseract files from tessdata_fast (for fast OCR) or tessdata (for more accurate and slower OCR). For example,

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/raw/main/fin.traineddata

2. Place the Tesseract files into ~/podman/appdata/stirling-pdf/tessdata.

mv ~/Downloads/fin.traineddata ~/podman/appdata/stirling-pdf/tessdata

Activate Quadlets

1. Clone this repo

cd /tmp
git clone [email protected]:artur-sannikov/local-quadlets.git

2. Move Quadlet files to ~/.config/containers/systemd

cd local-quadlets

mv chatgpt-web/ ~/.config/containers/systemd
mv stirling-pdf/ ~/.config/containers/systemd

3. Reload daemon

systemctl --user daemon-reload

4. Start containers

systemctl --user start chatgpt-web.service
systemctl --user start stirling-pdf.service

5. Check if services are running

   1. Go to localhost:5173 to access ChatGPT Web-UI
   2. Go to localhost:8080 to access Stirling PDF
