OpenWebUI is the extensible, self-hosted AI platform (Docker/Kubernetes) that unifies Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs for a powerful, privacy-first LLM experience.

OpenWebUI delivers a robust, self-hosted AI platform, ensuring a privacy-first approach for your large language models. Deployment is straightforward: use Docker or Kubernetes for seamless setup (supports :ollama and :cuda images). It acts as a universal frontend, supporting both local LLM runners like Ollama and external OpenAI-compatible APIs (e.g., GroqCloud, LMStudio). Key features include a built-in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) engine for document interaction, granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for multi-user security, and native Python function-calling for advanced agent creation. This architecture provides a single, user-friendly interface for managing diverse LLM workloads efficiently.
