Deploy Open WebUI on CometVPS
A polished, ChatGPT-style web interface for any LLM you want to run — Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own endpoints. Multi-user, RAG-ready, and entirely self-hosted.
What is Open WebUI?
Open WebUI is the most popular open-source front-end for self-hosted AI. It gives you a ChatGPT-style chat interface, document upload and RAG, role-based user management, and connectors for any OpenAI-compatible API — all in a single Docker container you control.
Private by Default
Bring Any Model
Built for Teams
Key Features
A complete chat platform you fully control
ChatGPT-Style Interface
Familiar conversation UI with markdown rendering, code highlighting, conversation history, and streaming responses. Anyone who's used ChatGPT will feel at home.
Connect Any Backend
Works with Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch models per conversation from a dropdown.
RAG & Document Chat
Upload PDFs, docs, and websites, then chat with them. Built-in vector store and embeddings — no separate retrieval pipeline to wire up.
Multi-User & Roles
Invite teammates with admin, user, or pending roles. Per-user model permissions, conversation isolation, and a built-in user management panel.
Installation Guide
Get Open WebUI running on your CometVPS server in 5 simple steps
Security Tip
The first user to sign up becomes the admin — register your own account immediately, then disable open sign-ups in the admin panel so strangers can't claim accounts on your instance. Always run behind HTTPS, and store third-party API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic) in environment variables rather than in the UI when possible.
Recommended VPS Plans
Choose the right server based on whether you'll run local models alongside the front-end
Core VPS - Basic
2 vCPU Cores, 4GB RAM, 60GB NVMe
Open WebUI is lightweight on its own — this fits the front-end plus a small SQLite database when your LLM lives on a separate Ollama or OpenAI endpoint.
Supernova VPS - Flare
6 AMD Ryzen Cores, 16GB DDR5, 200GB NVMe
Run Open WebUI and Ollama on the same box for a complete self-hosted ChatGPT — fast Ryzen cores keep 7B–13B models snappy.
AstroMetal - AM-R7950X3D
16 Cores, 128GB RAM, 1.92TB NVMe
Multi-user team chat with role-based access, larger local models, and plenty of room for RAG document storage and embedding databases.
