Overview

LibreChat is an open source, self hosted chat interface for large language models. It brings many providers together in one place, so you can connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Azure OpenAI keys, or point at a local model endpoint, and move between models inside a single conversation. It adds conversation search, prompt and preset management and multi user accounts on top.

It suits teams and individuals who want a familiar chat experience over their own model providers, running inside their own cloud account rather than a public service.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image installs LibreChat with its MongoDB database and Meilisearch search engine already wired together behind an nginx reverse proxy, so the workspace is usable the moment it boots. No administrator ships in the image: you create your own account at the first sign-up screen, and the per instance signing and encryption secrets are generated uniquely on first boot. The paired deployment guide covers first sign-up, connecting a model provider and enabling HTTPS, and every deployment carries 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • A shared chat workspace over your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google keys
  • A single interface to compare and switch between many models
  • A self hosted chat service you run inside your own cloud account
