Get started
Run with Docker
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:mainWhat it is
Open WebUI is a ChatGPT-style interface you host yourself. Point it at a local Ollama install or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and it provides conversations, model switching, file uploads and user accounts.
Why it stands out
It pairs naturally with local model runners: together they give a private, offline assistant for a team. Its licence is BSD-3-Clause based with an added branding clause.
Who it is for
Teams and individuals who want a shared AI chat interface without sending prompts to a third party.
