What is Open WebUI?
Open WebUI is an extensible, self-hosted AI platform that can run completely offline. It supports Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs, so you can use local and cloud models in one interface. It can be installed with a single pip command without an account, and also via Docker, Kubernetes, or a desktop app. You can extend it with Python, and for businesses it offers SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data residency, and air-gapped deployment; the enterprise plan requires contacting the sales team.
- Connect any compatible model, including Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic
- Install via pip, uv, Docker, Kubernetes, or desktop app
- Granular RBAC and user groups
- Plugins (Filters, Actions, Pipes, Tools, Skills), MCP and OpenAPI tool servers
