## Open WebUI template details

The template connects Open WebUI to Ollama and provides persistent volumes. Model use, document retrieval, access control, and data handling depend on configuration.

### Ollama and Open WebUI template

The marketplace template pairs Open WebUI with Ollama and pulls Llama 3.2 1B and Qwen 2.5 1.5B models on first startup. Model downloads require network access; inference runs on CPU. Provisioning is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.

### Chat with locally configured models

The template connects Open WebUI to Ollama over the service network. Data handling depends on the model and integrations configured in the application.

### Run selected language models with Ollama

The template attempts to download Llama 3.2 1B and Qwen 2.5 1.5B on first startup and runs inference on CPU without a GPU. Model availability and performance depend on network access and allocated resources.

### Ask questions about documents with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

Open WebUI includes document and knowledge retrieval features. Results depend on the model, document quality, and configuration.

### Language and text-direction settings

Language and right-to-left layout support depend on the Open WebUI version and settings. Check the interface with the languages and fonts your team uses.

## Frequently asked questions about Open WebUI and Ollama

Answers to common questions about the template, model execution, document retrieval, and data handling:

What is Open WebUI?

How does local inference work in this template?

Does Open WebUI send user data to model providers?

How are Deplomo resources priced for Open WebUI?

Can I connect a custom domain and SSL certificate?

## Open WebUI with Ollama: template and configuration overview

Self-hosted Open WebUI gives you control over its deployment and model connections. Data handling still depends on the models, providers, logs, and integrations you configure; review these settings before processing confidential information.

### What is Open WebUI?

Open WebUI is an open-source web interface for working with language models. It can connect to Ollama and other supported providers; available models and behavior depend on the configuration.

For document retrieval workflows that use a separate vector database, Open WebUI can be connected to a service such as  [qdrant](/marketplace/apps/qdrant)  if configured for your use case. For visual language-model workflows, see  [flowise](/marketplace/apps/flowise) ; for notebook-based analysis, see  [Jupyter cloud platform](/marketplace/apps/jupyter) is available to you.

### Cloud hosting compared with local and self-managed deployment

Language models have different CPU, memory, and GPU requirements. The current marketplace template runs Ollama on CPU and configures two small models. Running a different model may require more resources and additional configuration.

The marketplace template defines separate Open WebUI and Ollama containers with persistent volumes. It attempts to download two models on first startup; downloads require network access. Service provisioning is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.

### Open WebUI deployment options

Consider setup, database compatibility, access controls, licensing, and maintenance when comparing Metabase deployment options.

The marketplace template pairs Open WebUI with Ollama. Compare resource needs, model requirements, data handling, and package limits before choosing a deployment.

### Open WebUI template requirements

Review the template and its setup requirements before deployment.

- **Choose Directus from the marketplace** The marketplace lists the Open WebUI and Ollama template; provisioning is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.

- **Choose package resources:** The template configures two small models for CPU inference. Other models may need more resources and must be configured separately.

- **Open the service** The template defines two containers with persistent volumes. Domain and TLS configuration depend on the deployment environment.

- **Model download and chat** The template attempts to download Llama 3.2 1B and Qwen 2.5 1.5B at first startup. Downloads require network access; provisioning is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.
