Can I run Typebot locally and connect it with Chatwoot+...

LLucas

(Sorry if my question is flawed or makes no sense somehow; I'm quite new to all of this.)
Hello everyone, my name is Lucas and I'm in a project which requires Typebot to be used with Chatwoot and Evolution.
My first role in this project was actually installing n8n, which was a real pain for me because I thought it required setting up a domain and subdomain and doing things like reverse proxy and authentication. Yet to my surprise, n8n actually worked just fine locally, including webhooks.
Is it possible to do the same with Typebot? All services are running in the same VPS. From what I've seen, Typebot is more difficult to install than any other platform, requiring 2 subdomains and setting up stuff with email, Google, Github, Nginx and other things which are probably beyond my skill.
Thanks in advance.

Yes you can and will be easier if you install it with docker

LLucas

That's great! But... I think I already tried to do that and failed.
I tried using this guide: https://docs.typebot.io/self-hosting/deploy/docker
But it didn't work.
On the compose file I only changed the ports because my 8080 and 8081 were already in use. In the .env I put in a new key and email, but left the NEXTAUTH_URL and NEXT_PUBLIC_VIEWER blank. They don't even appear in the compose file. I started the compose and it worked, but I couldn't access it on my browser, and not even with ngrok (I got a black screen with Error 500 in the middle).
I tried putting my main domain in the NEXT variables, but it also didn't work.
Could you please help me? I'm sorry if it's bothersome, but you'd help me SO much if possible.

What web server are you using? Nginx, apache or openlitespeed?

LLucas

Nginx

LLucas

At least that's what my group members told me. Idk how to check

iimoclub

try this NEXTAUTH_URL: http://YOURIPADRESS:yourport (port you define on docker-compose.yml) and do the same on NEXT_PUBLIC_VIEWER_URL

LLucas

Ok I'll try that

LLucas

It didn't work. I got nothing from the ip:9091, and got the same Error 500 screen from 0.0.0.0:9091

LLucas

And from ngrok too

iimoclub

Oh you deploy on your local computer? I thought its on VPS, its better you install from local docs

LLucas

It is a vps

iimoclub

I guess you need create own config on nginx
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available

iimoclub

I dont know why are you using ngrok, on nginx you already can use reverse proxy

LLucas

I used ngrok to check if it was working

LLucas

Also, I didn't need to to that when installing n8n

LLucas

I got it working with just the compose and .env files

iimoclub

Yeah idk why n8n its easy to install, ived struggle too when install typebot for the first time but the most successful method is i must use https domain and the second method is deploy locally with pm2 on VPS

LLucas

pm2?

LLucas

I could try that

LLucas

https://docs.typebot.io/contribute/guides/local-installation

LLucas

Like this?

iimoclub

yeah ived deploy with that too to learn make custom block on typebot with forge modules

So pm2 is different?

LLucas

And this is?

iimoclub

this is my default docker-compose.yml typebot, for advance you can use network etc

iimoclub

and this is my env, if you already config like that so the problem is on reverse proxy method because i have nginx and openlitespeed server and both success with that config

LLucas

Ok, guess I'll just have to try

LLucas

Thank you a lot, for now

LLucas

But wait

LLucas

Is this for the pm2 you mentioned? Or normal docker compose?

iimoclub

its for docker bro, with PM2 you need git clone all source and deploy manually..

LLucas

Oh right
