SORRY FOR THE ADS...

But someone has to pay the bills, and sponsors are paying for it. I insist on not turning Code Boxx into a "paid scripts" business, and I don't "block people with Adblock". Every little bit of support helps.

QUICKSTART GUIDE

 

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Webcam – If you are using a desktop without a webcam, a simple one only costs about $20~30.
• USB QR Code scanner – Alternatively, a “dedicated barcode scanner” will cost about $30~40 bucks.
• NFC tags – 10 pieces of Ntag213 only cost 2-3 bucks. Buy them in bulk, and one piece will only cost a few cents.
• Fingerprint sensors – These are kind of expensive… But I got lucky with a $25 “Made in China” that works just fine.
• Label printer – Print your QR codes. There are Bluetooth ones that can pair with smartphones.

BUILT ON CORE BOXX

• At least go through the very short tutorial.
• Thereafter, go into the deeper concepts:
  • Core Engine
  • Database
  • Routes
  • JWT Sessions
• Storage Boxx has also adopted the following modules:
  • Users
  • NFC Login
  • Passwordless Login
  • Admin Panel
  • Web Push
  • Autocomplete

 

 

 

 

REQUIREMENTS

• Python – Yes, Python. Not PHP. Version 3.9 to 3.10 seems to work fine at the time of writing.
• Microsoft C++ Build Tools
• CMake
• Nvidia CUDA Toolkit – If you have an Nvidia graphics card.
• An Nvidia graphics card with at least 8GB VRAM is highly recommended. You can TRY to run on CPU, but it is painfully slow and practically useless.

 

 

INSTALLATION

• Copy/unzip this module into your existing Storage Boxx folder.
• I have tried multiple AI models, codellama-7b-instruct.Q5_K_M.gguf is the only one that produced decent(ish) results – Download that into chatbot/models or choose a better/larger/smarter model on your own.
• Edit chatbot/a_settings.py, change the model_name to your own.
• BE WARNED, GIGABYTES WORTH OF DOWNLOAD! – 0-setup.bat (Windows) 0-setup.sh (Linux).

 

LAUNCH

• Run 1-bot.bat (Windows) 1-bot.sh (Linux/Mac), this will deploy the bot at http://your-site.com:8008.
• Just access http://your-site.com/ai (must be signed in).
