Overview

Self-hosted big-AGI on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg. A polished, open-source AI chat and agent workspace - connect it to any OpenAI-compatible backend (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or a local llama.cpp/Ollama server) with your own API key, configured entirely client-side in the browser. Rich chat, AI personas, multi-model routing. nginx on port 80 with a per-VM HTTP Basic Auth password generated on first boot. MIT licensed.

Description

big-AGI is the open source, self-hosted AI chat and agent web UI. It gives you a polished workspace for talking to any OpenAI-compatible model - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or a fully local backend such as llama.cpp or Ollama - with rich chat, AI personas, multi-model routing and built-in productivity tools (Create Personas, Compare Text, News, AI Inspector). big-AGI itself has no server-side accounts and stores no API keys - every LLM credential you add is entered in the browser's own Settings > Models panel and kept in that browser's local storage only, never written to this VM. The cloudimg image runs big-AGI as a Docker container bound to loopback, fronted by nginx on port 80 behind a per-VM HTTP Basic Auth password generated on first boot, plus an unauthenticated /healthz endpoint for load balancer probes. Pairs naturally with a cloudimg llama.cpp Server instance as a private, no-external-key backend - point big-AGI's Local tab at your llama.cpp Server for a fully self-hosted chat stack. Licensing: MIT, FREE (Open edition) - no per-request or per-seat fee. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
