2. Model Management

• Multiple Models: Easily switch between different OpenAI models and configurations.
• Model Settings: Adjust model parameters such as temperature and max tokens to fine-tune responses.

3. API Integration

• API Key Management: Manage and secure your API keys for accessing OpenAI’s models.
• Custom Requests: Send custom API requests and view detailed responses.

4. User Management

• Role-Based Access: Define user roles and permissions to control access to various features.
• Activity Logs: Monitor user activity and track API usage through detailed logs.

5. Customization

• Interface Customization: Customize the appearance and layout of the web interface to suit your needs.

Installing OpenAI-WebGUI Using Docker-Compose

Deploying OpenAI-WebGUI with Docker-Compose streamlines the setup process and ensures a consistent environment. Follow these steps to get started.

Step-by-Step Docker-Compose Installation

1. Install Docker and Docker-Compose

2. Create a Docker-Compose File

   Create a directory for your OpenAI-WebGUI setup and navigate to it. Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:

   services:
     open-webui:
       image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama 
       container_name: open-webui
   #    network_mode: host
       environment:
         - PUID=${PUID}
         - PGID=${PGID}
         - TZ=${TZ}
   #      - OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434
       ports:
         - ${HTTP_PORT}:8080
       volumes:
         - ${DOCKER}/open-webui/ollama:/root/.ollama
         - ${DOCKER}/open-webui/app:/app/backend/data
       restart: unless-stopped

   Replace your_openai_api_key with your actual OpenAI API key.

3. Start OpenAI-WebGUI

   Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file, and run the following command:

   docker-compose up -d

   This command will pull the OpenAI-WebGUI Docker image and start the container in detached mode.

4. Access the OpenAI-WebGUI

   Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the OpenAI-WebGUI interface. You can now begin exploring and managing your OpenAI models.

Basic Setup Instructions

Once OpenAI-WebGUI is up and running, follow these steps to configure and start using the platform.

Step 1: Initial Configuration

• Log In: Open the OpenAI-WebGUI in your browser and log in using your credentials.
• Enter API Key: Input your OpenAI API key in the configuration settings to enable model access.

Step 2: Configure Models

• Select Models: Choose the OpenAI models you wish to interact with from the dashboard.
• Adjust Settings: Configure model parameters such as temperature and max tokens according to your preferences.

Step 3: Send Requests and View Responses

• Create Requests: Use the interface to create and send API requests to the selected OpenAI models.
• Analyze Responses: View and analyze the responses returned by the models to ensure they meet your requirements.
