## Self-hosting

To self-host Rebuff Playground, you need to set up the necessary providers like Supabase, OpenAI, and a vector
database, either Pinecone or Chroma. Here we'll assume you're using Pinecone. Follow the links below to set up each
provider:

- [Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/)
- [Supabase](https://supabase.io/)
- [OpenAI](https://beta.openai.com/signup/)

Once you have set up the providers, you'll need to stand up the relevant SQL and
vector databases on Supabase and Pinecone respectively. See the
[server README](server/README.md) for more information.

Now you can start the Rebuff server using npm.

```bash
cd server
```

In the server directory create an `.env.local` file and add the following environment variables:

```
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key>
MASTER_API_KEY=12345
BILLING_RATE_INT_10K=<your_billing_rate_int_10k>
MASTER_CREDIT_AMOUNT=<your_master_credit_amount>
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=<your_next_public_supabase_anon_key>
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=<your_next_public_supabase_url>
PINECONE_API_KEY=<your_pinecone_api_key>
PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT=<your_pinecone_environment>
PINECONE_INDEX_NAME=<your_pinecone_index_name>
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=<your_supabase_service_key>
REBUFF_API=http://localhost:3000
```

Install packages and run the server with the following:

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

Now, the Rebuff server should be running at `http://localhost:3000`.
