Deploy OpenWebUI
OpenWebUI is a sleek, self-hosted interface for local and remote LLMs like Ollama, LocalAI, and vLLM. It supports multi-model chat, conversation history, and prompt customization – all in your own environment.
🤖 Host your own private ChatGPT-style interface – no GPU or cloud lock-in required.
Guest project runs for 1 hour. Log in to save and extend to 5 days.

- 🐳 One-click Docker deployment – skip the GPU and config hell
- 🧠 Works with Ollama, LocalAI, and more
- 💾 Persistent volume included – stores chat history and settings
- 🌍 Auto HTTPS + domain – works out of the box
- 📊 Built-in metrics and logs – monitor usage at a glance
