Part [1/10]: Build Your Own Local ChatGPT with Ollama + Chainlit Using Docker Compose (No API Keys)
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build your own ChatGPT-like AI assistant locally using Ollama, Chainlit, and Docker Compose.
Instead of relying on cloud AI APIs, this setup allows you to run powerful LLM models locally on your machine with a clean chat interface.
We will create a simple system where:
• Ollama runs the AI model locally
• Chainlit provides the chat UI
• Docker Compose orchestrates both containers
This setup is perfect for developers who want a private, offline AI chatbot without API costs.
