Advanced configuration options and system settings

Database Configuration

The AI Container Manager uses MySQL for data storage. Configuration is handled through environment variables in the Docker Compose setup.

MYSQL_PORT 3306 (internal)
3316 (external)		 Database port
MYSQL_DATABASE ai_container_manager Database name
MYSQL_USER aimanager Database username
MYSQL_PASSWORD ulik9910 Database password

GPT API Configuration

Configure the OpenAI GPT API for AI chat functionality:

Through Admin Panel:

  1. Login to the admin panel at /admin/
  2. Navigate to "System Settings"
  3. Update the "GPT API Key" field
  4. Save changes

Through Database:

UPDATE system_settings SET setting_value = 'your-new-api-key' WHERE setting_key = 'gpt_api_key';
Security Note: Keep your API key secure and never expose it in client-side code.
