Open WebUI

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted AI platform designed to operate entirely offline. It supports Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs, making it a powerful, provider-agnostic solution for both local and cloud-based models.

Quick Start

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Then open http://localhost:3000.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest serve
