Why Opsily for Ollama UI
Open WebUI turns Ollama into a team tool. Opsily turns it into a business tool.
Production-ready multi-user support
Ollama's CLI is single-user. Open WebUI adds team access, audit logs, role-based permissions, and chat persistence. Your entire team works with the same models without sharing passwords or losing conversation history.
Zero vendor lock-in
Your models and conversations live on your server. No closed APIs. No usage limits. No surprise bills. Leave anytime; everything comes with you. This is the entire point of self-hosting.
Maintenance handled for you
Automatic security updates, daily encrypted backups, scaling, monitoring. We manage the infrastructure. You manage your models and your team. You get production-grade ops without becoming an ops engineer.
Built for teams who need reliability

Why You Need a Web UI for Ollama
Ollama is incredible: it runs large language models locally, fast, without a credit card. It has an OpenAI-compatible API and works in Docker everywhere.
But Ollama itself has no web interface. To use it, you run commands from the CLI, curl the API directly, or build a custom frontend from scratch. That works for one developer testing locally. It breaks immediately when you're a team.
Open WebUI solves this
It's a production-grade web interface built on top of Ollama. You get:
- Team access with role-based permissions (not a shared password)
- Chat history and conversation persistence
- Admin dashboard (see what's running, who's using it, model performance)
- Audit logs (for compliance and debugging)
- API keys for applications and integrations
Other interfaces exist. Ollama Web is minimal and read-only. LM Studio is desktop-only and single-machine. Vllm has a web UI but targets inference speed over team features.
Open WebUI is the only production-grade multi-user interface for Ollama.

Common questions about Ollama and Open WebUI
Everything you need to know about deploying your own LLM interface.
Ollama is the engine: it downloads and runs language models locally on your machine or server. It provides an OpenAI-compatible API and a command-line interface. Open WebUI is the interface: it's a web application that connects to Ollama and gives you a chat interface, team access, admin controls, and conversation history. Think of Ollama as the engine and Open WebUI as the dashboard. You need both for a complete production LLM setup.
