[Rethink](https://rethink.run) represents rethinking and is an AI (Large Language Model, LLM)
based personal knowledge and cognitive growth assistant tool.
[Rethink](https://rethink.run) will assist your knowledge and cognitive growth in the following two aspects:
1. Going beyond note-taking software,
it automatically recommends and links existing knowledge and cognition when recording,
building a more solid knowledge network;
2. AI knowledge expansion based on the LLM, allowing your cognition to continuously iterate and extend.
## Main Features of Rethink
1. **[Personal Cognitive Growth Tool](https://rethink.run/start/#personal-cognitive-growth-tool)**:
Record and extend your thinking, assisting you in efficient growth;
2. **[AI Recommendation](https://rethink.run/guide/use/ai-extend.html)**:
AI knowledge expansion based on the large language model LLM, allowing your cognition to continuously iterate and
extend;
3. **[Bidirectional Linking](https://rethink.run/guide/use/recommend.html)**:
Use @ linking or automatic recommendation to other notes;
4. **[Markdown Syntax](https://rethink.run/guide/use/markdown.html)**: Seamless support for Markdown syntax;
5. **[Local Storage](https://rethink.run/guide/self-hosted/install.html)**:
Rethink highly values data security and provides a local deployment solution.
In addition, there is an online version at [https://rethink.run/r/login](https://rethink.run/r/login) for
synchronization between multiple platforms;
6. **[History Version Tracking](https://rethink.run/guide/use/history.html)**:
Supports history version tracking, making it easy to view and restore historical versions;
Installation and deployment methods:
- [Deploy using Docker containerization](#deploy-using-docker-containerization)
- [Deploy using Python](#deploy-using-python)
## Deploy using Docker containerization
### Pull the image:
```shell
docker pull morvanzhou/rethink
```
### Run the container:
To ensure data security, you should mount the local path to the container.
```shell
docker run \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /your/data/path:/.data \
morvanzhou/rethink
```
Now you can access `http://127.0.0.1:8080` in your browser to use the service.
If you want to customize other ports, in addition to modifying the first half of the `-p` parameter, you also need to
add an environment variable `API_URL` to redirect the API address in the frontend service:
Make sure the port number in `API_URL` is consistent with the first half of the `-p` parameter (port `8001` in the
following example).
```shell
docker run \
-e API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081 \
-p 8081:8080 \
-v /your/data/path:/.data \
morvanzhou/rethink
```
If you want to use Rethink authentication, you can add the environment variable `APP_PASSWORD`:
```shell
docker run \
-e APP_PASSWORD=12345678 \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /your/data/path:/.data \
morvanzhou/rethink
```
### All configurable environment variables:
- `API_URL`: API address in the frontend service, default is `http://127.0.0.1:8080`
- `APP_PASSWORD`: Authentication password, default is None
- `APP_LANGUAGE`: Language, default is English, optional values: zh, en
## Deploy using Python
### Install via pip
The second way to install and use Rethink is through pip installation. Then start the service directly with Python.
Initial installation:
```shell
pip install retk
```
Update:
```shell
pip install -U retk
```
### Configure with Python
Use the `retk.run()` method to quickly start
