OpenWebUI Guide

OpenWebUI provides a web interface for local models and can expose an OpenAI-compatible API for 3sparks Chat.

Connect OpenWebUI

  1. Start OpenWebUI and confirm the API is enabled.
  2. Use a LAN IP, remote host, or Tailscale IP your mobile device can reach.
  3. In 3sparks Chat, open Connections and tap +.
  4. Choose OpenWebUI.
  5. Leave the name blank for a generated name, or enter your own.
  6. Enter the base URL, such as http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080.
  7. Keep the route prefix used by your OpenWebUI instance, commonly /api/.
  8. Add an API token if your server requires authentication.
  9. Tap Create Connection, then fetch models and choose a default.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm Docker or your OpenWebUI service is running.
  • Use the reachable server address, not localhost.
  • If authentication is enabled, add the correct token.
  • If requests fail, verify the route prefix for your OpenWebUI version.
