Open WebUI with Ollama, reviewed
Good enough for a small team. Read the licence before you rebrand it.

Proxmox on one box carries the lot; plan the backups first.

How a review gets written
-
Install the tool from its own docs
No vendor demo and no preview account. If the install guide is wrong, that goes in the review.
-
Run the tool on real work
On my own hardware for self-hosted tools, on a paid plan for the rest, with the bills kept.
-
Write up the cost, licence and verdict
Every review closes on the same facts in the same order, so two reviews read side by side.
