Getting Started with Codel

The simplest way to run Codel is by using a pre-built Docker image. Here’s how you can get started:

Step 1: Pulling the Docker Image

You can find the latest Docker image on the Github Container Registry. Use the following command to run the Docker image:

docker run \
   -e OPEN_AI_KEY=your_open_ai_key \
   -e OPEN_AI_MODEL=gpt-4-0125-preview \
   -e OLLAMA_MODEL=llama2 \
   -p 3000:8080 \
   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
   ghcr.io/semanser/codel:latest

Step 2: Configuring the Environment Variables

You need to set environment variables according to your requirements. For a more organized setup, create a .env file and run the Docker image with the –env-file flag. More details can be found here.

Step 3: Accessing Codel

After successfully running the Docker image, visit localhost:3000 in your browser, and you are all set to use Codel!

Understanding the Code Configuration: An Analogy

Think of setting up Codel like preparing a recipe in the kitchen. Each environment variable represents an ingredient required for your dish. Just as the correct combination of ingredients leads to a delicious meal, setting accurate environment variables will help your AI agent function without any hiccups. If you miss an ingredient (or an environment variable), your outcome may not be as expected. Ensure you gather everything before you start cooking!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while setting up or running Codel, consider these troubleshooting ideas:

• Check that Docker is installed and running on your machine.
• Ensure that you have a stable internet connection, as Codel fetches resources online.
• Review the error messages in the terminal – they often guide you to the solution.
• Double-check the environment variable values you’ve provided.
• Try to pull the latest version of the Docker image to ensure you’re not missing recent updates.
