Open WebUI

User-friendly ChatGPT-style interface for running local LLMs with Ollama.

About

Open WebUI is a powerful, extensible ChatGPT-like user interface designed specifically for running local Large Language Models through Ollama. It provides an intuitive chat experience with support for various LLM models, conversation history, prompt templates, code syntax highlighting, image generation integration, and more. Features include full-text search through conversations, admin panel for user management, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) with document upload, web search integration, custom prompts, and a pipeline system for extending functionality. It's the most popular self-hosted AI chat interface.

How to Self-Host Open WebUI

Open WebUI can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Open WebUI does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.
