Looking to harness the power of large language models (LLMs) without relying on public AI platforms? With Hivelocity’s One-Click App installation, you can quickly deploy OpenWebUI with Ollama on our Instant Dedicated Servers or Virtual Dedicated Servers, even without a GPU.

Why Use OpenWebUI with Ollama?

OpenWebUI is a lightweight, user-friendly interface for interacting with local LLMs through Ollama, a powerful and easy-to-use framework that lets you run models on CPU. Unlike cloud-based AI tools, local models provide:

• Enhanced Security: Your data stays on your machine, never shared with third-party AI services.

• Lower Latency: No cloud round-trips; responses are served directly from your server.

• Greater Control: Run your own models, customize prompts, and update as needed.

No GPU? No Problem.

While many LLMs require GPU acceleration, Ollama is optimized for CPU usage and performs impressively on models like:

• Llama 3.1 8B – Preinstalled by default with our One-Click App deployment.

This model strikes a solid balance between performance and capability, making it ideal for running locally on CPU-powered servers.

Note: Our servers do not include GPUs, but medium-sized models like Llama 3.1 8B run smoothly without one.

Ideal Use Cases

• Developers & Data Scientists looking to prototype locally

• Businesses concerned with data privacy

• AI Enthusiasts exploring LLMs without cloud dependencies

Available on Hivelocity’s One-Click App Marketplace

You can find this deployment option in the Hivelocity control panel under our One-Click Apps. It’s available on:

• Instant Dedicated Servers – Bare metal performance, deployed in minutes.

• Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS) – Full control with scalable resources.

Getting Started

1. Pick one of our VDS plans or choose from our hundreds of different Instant Dedicated Servers.

2. Under the Software section, select the Apps menu.
