By default, Ollama runs large language models (LLMs) through a command-line interface (CLI). However, you can pair Ollama with Open WebUI – a graphical user interface (GUI) tool – to interact with these models in a visual environment.<\/p>

This setup reduces complex, error-prone command-line inputs, making it ideal for non-technical users and teams who need a collaborative, visual way to work with LLMs and deploy AI applications.<\/p>

In this article, you’ll learn how to set up Ollama and Open WebUI the easiest way – by using a preconfigured virtual private server (VPS) template. We’ll also walk you through Open WebUI’s dashboard, show you how to customize model outputs, and explore collaboration features.<\/p>

Setting up Ollama with Open WebUI<\/h2>

The easiest way by far to use Ollama<\/a> with Open WebUI is by choosing a Hostinger LLM hosting plan<\/a>. This way all necessary components – Docker, Ollama, Open WebUI, and the Llama 3.1<\/strong> model – are preconfigured.<\/p>

Based on Ollama’s system requirements, we recommend the KVM 4<\/strong> plan, which provides four vCPU<\/strong> cores, 16 GB<\/strong> of RAM, and 200 GB<\/strong> of NVMe storage for \u20b1749.00\/month<\/strong>. These resources will ensure your projects run smoothly.<\/p>

After purchasing the plan, you can access the Open WebUI dashboard by entering your VPS IP address followed by :8080<\/strong> in your browser. For example:<\/p>

http:\/\/22.222.222.84:8080<\/pre>
However, if you’ve switched your operating system since the initial setup or use a regular Hostinger VPS plan, you can still install Ollama<\/a> as a template by following these steps:<\/p>
