ChatGPT‑Next‑Web‑Pro

What it is – An open‑source, self‑hosted web front‑end for OpenAI‑style large language models that extends the popular ChatGPT‑Next‑Web UI with a large set of “pro” features:

• multimodal support (image OCR, audio transcription, text‑to‑speech, vision)
• integrated generation of images, music and video (Midjourney, Stable‑Diffusion, DALL‑E‑3, Suno, Luma, etc.)
• optional backend services for user accounts, subscription/plan management, file storage, payment gateways and admin panels.
• works in two flavours:
  1. “No‑backend” – pure front‑end that only needs an OpenAI (or compatible) API key.
  2. “With‑backend” – full SaaS‑style stack with login, API‑key management, usage‑based plans, and a management UI.

Getting Started

1️⃣ No‑backend (quick Docker run)

# Pull the image (example version 3.9.18)
docker pull registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ann-chat/chatgpt-next-web-pro:3.9.18

# Run it – replace the placeholder key with your own OpenAI key
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxx" \
  registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ann-chat/chatgpt-next-web-pro:3.9.18

• The container always listens on internal port 3000; map it to any host port you like (-p 3030:3000).
• If you need to route requests through a proxy or a self‑hosted OpenAI‑compatible endpoint, add -e BASE_URL="https://your‑proxy".
• Additional environment variables can be added with -e NAME=VALUE.

2️⃣ With‑backend (full SaaS stack)

# Grab the compose file (or copy it manually if the curl returns HTML)
curl -o docker-compose.yml \
  https://github.com/vual/ChatGPT-Next-Web-Pro/tree/main/docker/with-backend/docker-compose.yml

# Edit the file – set your OpenAI key, storage credentials, payment keys, etc.
# Then pull images and start the services

docker compose pull

docker compose up -d   # omit -d first time to watch logs

• After launch, the user portal is at https://nextweb.annyun.cn (supports WeChat QR, email registration).
• The admin console is at https://nextadmin.annyun.cn (default credentials admin / 123456; change immediately).
• Nginx reverse‑proxy configuration is provided in docs/nginx.conf.

Who Might Use It?

• Developers / hobbyists who want a locally hosted ChatGPT‑style UI with extra media generation capabilities without building everything from scratch.
• Small teams or startups that need a quick‑to‑deploy internal AI assistant with user accounts, usage tracking, and optional paid plans.
• Educators / researchers looking for a sandbox to experiment with multimodal prompts (image‑to‑text, audio‑to‑text, image generation, music, video) on top of OpenAI‑compatible APIs.

---

License & Security

• The repository states that the code is fully open‑source and “security is identical to the original ChatGPT‑Next‑Web”.
• Authors explicitly claim no malicious code and encourage users to sniff network traffic to verify.
• No explicit license is mentioned in the README; you should check the repository’s LICENSE file for the exact terms before commercial use.

Bottom Line

ChatGPT‑Next‑Web‑Pro is a genuine, feature‑rich fork of a popular open‑source ChatGPT UI, adding multimodal generation, file handling, storage back‑ends, and an optional full‑stack admin system. It can be run instantly with a single Docker command for a simple key‑only setup, or deployed as a complete SaaS‑like service with user management and payment integration.
