What is Open WebUI

Open WebUI is a simple, self-hosted AI platform that works entirely offline. It supports tools like Ollama and OpenAI-style APIs and has a built-in engine for RAG tasks.

Preparation

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • openwebui.company is the FQDN of the Open WebUI installation.
  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

:::note This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::

authentik configuration

Create an OAuth2/OpenID provider and an application in authentik using the wizard.

Provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.

  • Note the Client ID, Client Secret, and slug values for later use.
  • Set the redirect URI to https://openwebui.company/oauth/oidc/callback.
  • Select any available signing key.

Open WebUI configuration

You need to set the environment variables in the appropriate place based on your deployment method—either in the .env file or as Docker environment variables. The values themselves remain the same, only their location differs.

Enter the following details from the authentik provider:

  • Set OAUTH_CLIENT_ID to the Client ID copied from authentik.
  • Set OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET to the Client Secret copied from authentik.
  • Set OAUTH_PROVIDER_NAME to authentik.
  • Set OPENID_PROVIDER_URL to https://authentik.company/o/slug/.well-known/openid-configuration.

Configuration verification

  • Open your web browser and go to https://openwebui.company.
  • Make sure you are logged off any previous session.
  • Click Continue with authentik to log in.
  • After logging in, authentik will redirect you back to https://openwebui.company.
  • If you successfully return to the Open WebUI, the login is working correctly.

:::note Users are automatically created, but an administrator must update their role to at least User via the WebGUI. To do so, log in as an administrator and access the Admin Panel (URL: https://openwebui.company/admin/users). Click on the user whose role should be increased from Pending to at least User. More details on how to administer Open WebUI can be found here https://docs.openwebui.com/. :::
