Overview

Open WebUI is an open source, self hosted interface for large language models. It gives you a polished chat workspace in your browser that talks to a local model backend and to any OpenAI compatible provider, with retrieval over your own documents, model and prompt management, and multi user workspaces with role based access. A local Ollama backend is bundled so the appliance is usable on its own without wiring up an external service.

It suits teams and individuals who want a capable AI assistant they run and own inside their own cloud account, rather than sending prompts and documents to a third party service.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image ships Open WebUI and a bundled local Ollama behind an nginx reverse proxy already configured for the live interface's WebSocket traffic and ready for your TLS certificate. Nothing sensitive ships: no administrator and no user rows exist in the image, so your first visit lands on the sign up screen where the first account you create becomes the admin. The stack refreshes itself to the newest release on first boot, so every launch runs current software. The paired deployment guide covers first sign up, pulling a model and enabling HTTPS, and every deployment carries 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • A private AI chat assistant you host inside your own cloud account
