[mehmetbaykar]

Awesome!!!!! You guys rock!

[D1m7asis]

Yeah 🔥🔥🔥

[ItzCrazyKns]

You can now run Perplexica by just executing docker run -p 3000:3000 --name perplexica itzcrazykns1337/perplexica:latest

[mehmetbaykar]

There is a problem though. It doesnt allow you to continue.

[ItzCrazyKns]

Should be fixed by ce78b4f please wait for the images to get built

[mehmetbaykar]

@ItzCrazyKns The only workaround is that you create a provider with openai endpoint url and then add the all the models and then change back the endpoint url that you want(in my case openrouter for example). This is the onlhy workaround I can see but this gives a very bad user experience. I would suggest you to implement the fetching the models feature from the endpoint.

[mehmetbaykar]

@ItzCrazyKns Thanks. In any case having the /models fetching feature would be cool!

[ItzCrazyKns]

As I previously stated (in many of the issues) a lot of providers haven't implemented the /models endpoint but I'll definitely look into it.

[mehmetbaykar]

If you look into RooCode or Cline they have this OpenAICompatible provider option. If you select OpenAICompatible or OpenAI provider type you can safely call the /models endpoint :)

[mehmetbaykar]

@ItzCrazyKns Another question when do you estimate to publish the Quality search feature?

[mehmetbaykar]

Awesome! Do you have estimated time for that? Also do you have an exampel of hwo the architecture of the new search would be? Maybe I can take a look and see if I can help with some PRs as well.

[ItzCrazyKns]

Cannot say something but I'll try to finish it within November. Currently, I cannot say something about the architecture as well, I'll spend a few days brainstorming few possible ideas and soon as I am confident with something, I'll get started on it

[mehmetbaykar]

@ItzCrazyKns Thanks again. with the current setup the search reads up to 7 pages with searxng. Can we increase this number with .env variables or configurations?

[mehmetbaykar]

Hello @ItzCrazyKns did you have a chance to see my message?

[ItzCrazyKns]

@ItzCrazyKns Thanks again. with the current setup the search reads up to 7 pages with searxng. Can we increase this number with .env variables or configurations?

Not yet but I'll consider adding it in the next version.
