Open WebUI - Self-Hosted AI Chat Interface
Connect Open WebUI to ZipFlow through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint and chat with any model from your own deployment.
Open WebUI is an extensible, self-hosted AI interface with full privacy. It connects to ZipFlow through the standard OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so every model on your ZipFlow account is available in your own chat UI.

Connecting to ZipFlow
Open WebUI supports any OpenAI-compatible API. Point it at ZipFlow and chat with your models in minutes.
Usage Instructions
- Get an API key from the ZipFlow console: Dashboard → API Keys → Create.
- Open Open WebUI and go to Settings → Connections.
- Under OpenAI API, set:
- API Base URL:
https://api.zipflow.xyz/v1 - API Key: your ZipFlow API key
- API Base URL:
- Click Save. The available models are fetched automatically.
- Start a new chat and pick any model from the model selector.
For container deployments you can instead set the environment variables OPENAI_API_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY before starting the service.
Verifying the Connection
Open a new chat, choose a model, and send a message. A successful reply confirms the connection. If models do not appear, double-check the base URL (it must end with /v1) and that your API key is enabled.
