Installing the app starts Open WebUI on your server. Register the first account yourself, since it automatically becomes the administrator, then connect it to the model provider of your choice under Settings → Connections.
Open WebUI first appeared as a simple interface for Ollama, before expanding into today's general-purpose chat tool. It works with any service that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, and can also talk to Ollama directly once OLLAMA_BASE_URL points at it. Its data directory stores saved chats, prompts, any files you've uploaded, and the accounts of each user, with the SQLite database webui.db as the core piece.
You can point it at the API provider of your choice by setting OPENAI_API_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY within the app's settings, and you can add several connections at once, all appearing together in a single model-selection list.
One point worth knowing before offering document chat to anyone else: uploading your very first file prompts Open WebUI to load an embedding model so it can be indexed, which takes noticeable time and memory and can make that initial upload look frozen. Later uploads are faster. Remember that whoever registers first gets administrator rights, so claim that account before sharing the link with others.
| Workload | Plan | Note |
|---|---|---|
| You and a handful of colleagues, chat only | Starter | Stays lightweight since the models themselves run elsewhere. |
| A team doing document uploads and building knowledge collections | Pro | Indexing happens on your own server, which is why it needs more memory. |
Starter gives you 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM and 20 GB of disk space, with room for up to 2 apps, so you can run Open WebUI alongside your own code on one server. Billed monthly, before 18% GST. Current prices are shown on this page.

No. Open WebUI only provides the interface; the actual models run on whichever API, such as OpenAI's, that you connect it to.
Yes. The administrator can invite other users and control which models each of them can access.
Yes, point it at your own Ollama connection by adding its address. If you'd rather keep everything, including the model, on one box, try our combined Ollama and Open WebUI app instead—just note it's CPU only.
Your conversations sit in the app's own storage area on your server, kept in a file called webui.db plus a folder of uploads. The provider behind whichever model you're using also receives your chat text, so check that provider's policies too.
Select an app from our store, choose which server should host it, then hit Install. Within a minute or two it is live with its own HTTPS address, and any passwords it needs are created automatically, revealed just the once, and saved for you to check again later.
