Use AxForge with Open WebUI

Open WebUI is a self-hosted chat interface. Add AxForge as an OpenAI connection and its models show up in the model picker.

Run it pointed at AxForge

$ docker run -d -p 3000:8080 \
    -e ENABLE_OPENAI_API=True \
    -e OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=https://api.axforge.ai/v1 \
    -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your-axforge-key \
    -v open-webui:/app/backend/data \
    --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Open WebUI calls GET /v1/models when the connection is saved and auto-populates the model list. To add several backends, use the plural, ;-separated forms — keys pair to URLs by position:

-e OPENAI_API_BASE_URLS="https://api.axforge.ai/v1;http://other:11434/v1"
-e OPENAI_API_KEYS="axforge-key;other-key"

These env vars are read once. Open WebUI stores them in its database on first launch (they are "PersistentConfig"), so changing the env var on a later restart of an existing volume has no effect — edit the connection under Admin Settings → Connections instead. The base URL must include /v1.
