# FAQ

> Frequently asked questions about PipesHub Workplace AI

## Deployment

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What are the minimum system requirements to run PipesHub?">
    To ensure optimal performance, we recommend the following minimum specifications:

    * **RAM**: 16 GB or more
    * **CPU Cores**: 4 cores or more

    These requirements ensure smooth operation of PipesHub and its various components.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What should I consider when deploying PipesHub's Docker image to the cloud?">
    When deploying PipesHub to cloud platforms, keep these important points in mind:

    * **Always use HTTPS**: Ensure your deployment uses HTTPS instead of HTTP for secure communication
    * **Port Configuration**: Redirect incoming traffic to `localhost:3000` where PipesHub runs
    * **Using EC2 or VM instances**: If you're deploying on EC2 or other virtual machines, you can use NGINX as a reverse proxy to handle HTTPS termination and route traffic to your application

    This setup ensures your deployment is secure and properly configured for production use.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm seeing a white/blank screen after deploying PipesHub to the cloud. What could be wrong?">
    If you're seeing a white screen even though all Docker containers show as healthy and running, the most likely cause is that you're accessing PipesHub using HTTP instead of HTTPS.

    **Solution**: PipesHub requires HTTPS for cloud deployments due to stricter security checks. To resolve this issue:

    * Configure your deployment to use HTTPS instead of HTTP
    * Set up SSL/TLS certificates for your domain
    * If using EC2 or similar VM instances, configure NGINX or another reverse proxy to handle HTTPS termination

    Note: While PipesHub may work with HTTP in local development environments, cloud deployments must use HTTPS to function properly.

## AI Models

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does PipesHub support OpenAI-compatible endpoints for AI and embedding models?">
    Yes, PipesHub fully supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints. You can configure any provider that offers OpenAI-compatible endpoints in two ways:

    * During the initial onboarding process
    * By updating your settings after installation

    This flexibility allows you to use your preferred AI provider while maintaining compatibility with the OpenAI API standard.
