Overview

What is Open WebUI?

Open WebUI is the most popular self-hosted chat interface for AI models — a polished, ChatGPT-style app you run yourself. Connect it to OpenAI-compatible APIs or a remote Ollama server, switch between models mid-conversation, organise chats, build prompt libraries and share access with your team.

The difference is where everything lives. With hosted chat products your prompts, documents and history sit in the vendor's cloud under the vendor's terms — and every seat costs a subscription. Open WebUI keeps conversations in your own database, uses API keys you control, and lets the whole team in without per-seat pricing.

On livemy.app you pick the Open WebUI template, click deploy, and your private chat workspace is live with SSL in about two minutes. Add your API keys in settings, invite the team, and every conversation from then on stays on a server you own.

Why deploy here

Same app, no meter running

These tools are free and open source. What you normally pay for is someone else's server — and their pricing page.

Your chats, your server

Prompts, documents and history live in your own database — not in an AI vendor's cloud under terms that change under you.

One workspace, every model

Switch between models and providers in one interface, on your own API keys — pay providers for usage, not per seat for the chat app.

No maintenance rabbit hole

SSL, storage and redeploys are handled for you. New Open WebUI release? One click and you're on it — no server to log into.

How it works

Three steps, about two minutes

01

Pick the Open WebUI template

Choose it from the gallery. Nothing to download, nothing to configure — the template already knows how Open WebUI should run.

02

Click deploy

livemy.app builds it and gives you a live URL with SSL. Storage is attached automatically, so your data survives every restart.

03

Make it yours

Connect a custom domain and redeploy anytime in one click — from the dashboard, or triggered over MCP by the AI tool you already use.

FAQ

Self-hosting Open WebUI, answered

How much does it cost to self-host Open WebUI?
Free to try — the Free plan is $0 and gives you one project on a livemy.site subdomain. Maker is $10/mo and adds a custom domain, 10 GB and a 99.5% uptime SLA; Pro is $25/mo. Daily backups are a $5/mo add-on. No per-seat fees — model usage is whatever your API provider charges.
Which AI models can I use with it?
Any provider with an OpenAI-compatible API — plug in your keys in the settings — plus a remote Ollama server if you run one elsewhere. You can offer several models side by side and switch per conversation.
Can my whole team use one instance?
Yes — Open WebUI has user accounts, roles and shared workspaces built in, and self-hosting means no per-seat subscription. Everyone chats through your instance and your keys, with usage in one place.
Is self-hosted Open WebUI hard to maintain?
Not here. The template ships with storage and free SSL already wired up. When a new Open WebUI version lands you click redeploy in the dashboard — or trigger it over MCP from your AI tool. There's no server to patch and nothing to install on your computer.
