This comprehensive menu-based installer is designed for individuals who wish to host their own chatbot UI on a cloud server instead of using Versal. It automates the installation and configuration process for all necessary components on your Ubuntu server.

Before starting, please ensure that you have a VPS, SSH access, and a properly configured domain name (e.g., gpt.yourdomain) pointing to your VPS IP address. This is essential for SSL certificate issuance and proxy forwarding using Nginx and Certbot.

Why not SHORTER COMMANDS>?!?!?!

Like all of my menu-based installers, this one includes additional steps that could potentially be condensed into one-liner commands. However, my intention in designing these installers is to assist individuals who are new to Linux and are in the process of learning. By providing a more detailed and step-by-step approach, I aim to help users understand the correct procedures before introducing them to shortcuts. I appreciate your understanding and kindness as you use this installer. :)
