An open-source web-based chat UI for Ollama, forked from chatbot-ui, that lets users chat with locally hosted LLMs. It supports document (PDF/TXT/MD) and image attachments, streaming responses, code block rendering, and Docker deployment.

Use cases

• chat with local ollama models in a web ui
• self-hosted chatgpt alternative interface
• upload pdf documents and ask questions to a local llm
• send images to vision-capable ollama models
• run a private chatbot interface on docker
• clean chat frontend for locally running language models

When to choose

• you run Ollama locally and want a polished web chat interface instead of the CLI
• you need document or image attachments in a self-hosted chat UI
• you want a Docker-deployable, privacy-friendly local chatbot frontend

When to avoid

• you need multi-user accounts, team sharing, or cloud provider integrations beyond Ollama
• you want a backend-agnostic UI supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and other APIs
• you need model management features like pulling or deleting models from the UI (still on the roadmap)
