Open WebUI ensures **strict confidentiality** and **no external requests** for enhanced privacy and security. - **All models are private by default.** Models must be explicitly shared via groups or by being made public. If a model is assigned to a group, only members of that group can see it. If a model is made public, anyone on the instance can see it. ::: Choose your preferred installation method below: - **Docker:** **Officially supported and recommended for most users** - **Python:** Suitable for low-resource environments or those wanting a manual setup - **Kubernetes:** Ideal for enterprise deployments that require scaling and orchestration
