Start Presenton ##### Linux/MacOS (Bash/Zsh Shell): ```bash docker run -it --name presenton -p 5000:80 -v "./user_data:/app/user_data" ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:v0.3.0-beta ``` ##### Windows (PowerShell): ```bash docker run -it --name presenton -p 5000:80 -v "${PWD}\user_data:/app/user_data" ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:v0.3.0-beta ``` #### 2. Open Presenton Open http://localhost:5000 on browser of your choice to use Presenton. > **Note: You can replace 5000 with any other port number of your choice to run Presenton on a different port number.** ## Deployment Configurations You may want to directly provide your API KEYS as environment variables and keep them hidden. You can set these environment variables to achieve it. - **CAN_CHANGE_KEYS=[true/false]**: Set this to **false** if you want to keep API Keys hidden and make them unmodifiable. - **LLM=[openai/google/ollama]**: Select **LLM** of your choice. - **OPENAI_API_KEY=[Your OpenAI API Key]**: Provide this if **LLM** is set to **openai** - **GOOGLE_API_KEY=[Your Google API Key]**: Provide this if **LLM** is set to **google** - **OLLAMA_MODEL=[Ollama Model Name]**: Provide this if **LLM** is set to **ollama** - **PEXELS_API_KEY=[Your Pexels API Key]**: Provide this if **LLM** is set to **ollama** ### Using OpenAI ```bash docker run -it --name presenton -p 5000:80 -e LLM="openai" -e OPENAI_API_KEY="******" -e CAN_CHANGE_KEYS="false" -v "./user_data:/app/user_data" ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:v0.3.0-beta ``` ### Using Ollama ```bash docker run -it --name presenton -p 5000:80 -e LLM="ollama" -e OLLAMA_MODEL="llama3.2:3b" -e PEXELS_API_KEY="*******" -e CAN_CHANGE_KEYS="false" -v "./user_data:/app/user_data" ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:v0.3.0-beta ``` #### Running Presenton with GPU Support To use GPU acceleration with Ollama models, you need to install and configure the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. This allows Docker containers to access your NVIDIA GPU. Once the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed and configured, you can run Presenton with GPU support by adding the `--gpus=all` flag: ```bash docker run -it --name presenton --gpus=all -p 5000:80 -e LLM="ollama" -e OLLAMA_MODEL="llama3.2:3b" -e PEXELS_API_KEY="*******" -e CAN_CHANGE_KEYS="false" -v "./user_data:/app/user_data" ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:v0.3.0-beta ``` > **Note:** GPU acceleration significantly improves the performance of Ollama models, especially for larger models. Make sure you have sufficient GPU memory for your chosen model. ## Generate Presentation over API ### Generate Presentation Endpoint: `/api/v1/ppt/generate/presentation` Method: `POST` Content-Type: `multipart/form-data` > **Note**: Make sure to set `Content-Type` as `multipart/form-data` and not `application/json`. #### Request Body | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | prompt | string | Yes | The main topic or prompt for generating the presentation | | n_slides | integer | No | Number of slides to generate (default: 8, min: 5, max: 15) | | language | string | No | Language for the presentation (default: "English") | | theme | string | No | Presentation theme (default: "light"). Available options: "light", "dark", "cream", "royal_blue", "faint_yellow", "light_red", "dark_pink" | | documents | File[] | No | Optional list of document files to include in the presentation. Supported file types: PDF, TXT, PPTX, DOCX | | export_as | string | No | Export format ("pptx" or "pdf", default: "pptx") | #### Response ```json { "presentation_id": "string", "path": "string", "edit_path": "string" } ``` #### Example Request ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/ppt/generate/presentation \ -F "prompt=Introduction to Machine Learning" \ -F "n_slides=5" \ -F "language=English" \ -F "theme=light" \ -F "export_as=pptx" ``` #### Example Response ```json { "presentation_id": "d3000f96-096c-4768-b67b-e99aed029b57", "path": "/static/user_data/d3000f96-096c-4768-b67b-e99aed029b57/Introduction_to_Machine_Learning.pptx", "edit_path": "/presentation?id=d3000f96-096c-4768-b67b-e99aed029b57" } ``` > **Note:** Make sure to prepend your server's root URL to the path and edit_path fields in the response to construct valid links.
