epic: Users can manage local API server via Dashboard

[0xSage]

Motivation

• Users sometimes just want a local, OpenAI compatible endpoint, for other app integrations
• Users want to see server logs, change server settings while using this local server

Specs

• Users can turn on/off servermode, and configure various server settings
• Users are informed through UI, that ServerMode disables other UI level features like Threads
• Users can see server logs
• Users can quickly get linked OUT & access docs

Preview:

Tasklist

• [x] #1251

Not in Scope

• Users can edit model settings in servermode
• Postman like playground for users to construct requests
• Embedding api docs within the dashboard (UX antipattern)

Appendix

Previous context:

Model Selection:

• As a user, I want to choose which model I want to make available at https;//localhost:1337 as an API

Server Configuration Options:

• As a user, I want to customize the server port to ensure compatibility with my system's setup.
• As a user, I want to manage Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing (CORS) settings to control access permissions for security reasons.
• As a user, I want the option to enable or disable verbose server logs for effective debugging and troubleshooting.

Examples (Request, Response, etc.):

• As a user, I want access to clear examples of API requests and responses for better understanding and usage guidance; and if possible, a link to Jan's API docs for more details.

Server Logs:

• As a user, I want access to detailed and comprehensive server logs, providing in-depth information about each API request and response for thorough debugging and analysis.
• As a user, I want a dedicated section displaying API metrics, offering insights into usage statistics, response times, and other relevant performance indicators for better optimization and monitoring.

As a user, I want to be able to run Jan headless so I don't have to set up X11 when I only want to use the API.

As a user, I want to be able to run Jan headless so I don't have to set up X11 when I only want to use the API.

Ahhh I think we support headless via docker (see dockerfiles in repo). @hiento09 can I double check, where's the entrypoint to set this up? @hieu-jan can then update docs.

@0xSage the Dockerfile was for cloudnative, which is deprecated, we haven't have offical Dockerfile for Jan server yet, let's move this to a Feature request, I will update the Dockerfile later.
