Open WebUI
Open WebUI is a self-hostable artifical intelligence interface that allows different workflows and even offline operation.
Setup
The software can be setup via Docker with the open-webui image.
Additionally a provider for the artificial intelligence is needed. This can be done by using Ollama which can be setup via docker with the ollama image. When using this option the address and port for Ollama has to be set in the admin settings of WebUI.
Alternatively to a self-hosted Ollama also the official ChatGPT service can be linked to WebUI. This also has to be set up in the admin settings.
Usage
This section addresses the usage of the Open WebUI.
Downloading and Selecting New Models
Models are not downloaded via the Open Webui directly. In fact they are managed by the provider of the AI. When using Ollama as described in the setup section the following commands can be used to list available networks.
ollama list
Afterwards a model can be selected and pulled by using the following command. <model> is the name
of the model obtained in the previous step (for example deepseek-r1).
ollama pull <model>
After the downloading of the model it has to be set in the admin settings of WebUI.
