## Quick start

Just clone repository and run docker-compose!
```bash
git clone git@github.com:longevity-genie/just-chat.git
USER_ID=$(id -u) GROUP_ID=$(id -g) docker-compose up
```
And the chat with your agent is ready to go! Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser and start chatting with your agent!
Note: container will be started with the user and group of the host machine to avoid permission issues. If you want to change this, you can modify the `USER_ID` and `GROUP_ID` variables in the `docker-compose.yml` file.

If you prefer Podman or use RPM-based distro where it is the default option, you can use alternative Podman installation:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:longevity-genie/just-chat.git
podman-compose up 
```
Unlike Docker, Podman is rootless-by-design maps user and group id automatically. 
NB! Ubuntu 22 contains podman v.3 which is not fully compatible with this setup, assume podman v4.9.3 or higher is required.



You can customize your setup by:
1. Editing `chat_agent_profiles.yaml` to customize your agent
2. Adding tools to `/agent_tools` directory to empower your agent
3. Modifying `docker-compose.yml` for advanced settings (optional)

The only requirement is Docker (or Podman, both are supported)! We provide detailed installation instructions for both Linux and Windows in the [Installation](#installation) section.
Also check the [notes](#some-notes) section for further information.

## What if I want to use Podman instead of Docker?

Podman is a safer container environment than Docker. If you prefer Podman or use Fedora or any other RPM-based Linux distribution, you can use it instead of Docker:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/winternewt/just-chat.git
podman compose up 
```
Unlike Docker, Podman is rootless-by-design and maps user and group id automatically. 

⚠️ **NOTE**: Ubuntu versions have different Podman availability:

- **Ubuntu 24.04+**: Podman v4.9.3+ available via apt (recommended)
- **Ubuntu 22.04**: Contains old Podman v.3 in apt, requires manual installation
- Our installation script handles this automatically for Ubuntu 22.04

The only requirement is Docker (or Podman, both are supported)! We provide detailed installation instructions for both Linux and Windows in the [Installation](#installation) section.
Also check the [notes](#some-notes) section for further information.

## Installation

Just-Chat is a containerized application. To run it you can use either Docker or Podman.
You can skip this section if you already have any of them installed. If you do not have a preference we recommend Podman as more modern and secure container engine.

### Install Docker and Docker-compose Standalone

Refer to the official guides: 
 - [Docker Installation Guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/).

For Ubuntu 22.04+ users, you can use our automated installation script:
```bash
sudo ./scripts/install_docker_ubuntu.sh
