Open WebUI
in Sri Lanka
Deploy Open WebUI in Colombo in a few clicks. We handle the hosting, the database and the AI models, and your chats stay in Sri Lanka.
What is Open WebUI?
Open WebUI is a free chat app your team uses in the browser. It works like ChatGPT, but it runs on your own server and can use any AI model.
Chat with any model
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama and more, in one place. Switch any time.
Ask about your documents
Upload a PDF or a file and ask questions about it.
Talk to it
Ask a question out loud and hear the answer read back.
Three steps to get started
No server, no API keys and nothing to install.
Launch it
Click Launch Open WebUI in Roar AI’s console and pick Colombo.
Sign in as the admin
Open the link and create the first account straight away. The first account to sign up becomes the admin.
Invite your team
Share the link with your team, and approve people as they sign up.
What Roar AI sets up for you
Running Open WebUI yourself means a server, a database, file storage, and separate settings for chat, document search and voice. Roar AI sets all of it up when you launch.
Prefer to run it yourself? Read our self-hosting guideHosting and a secure address
HTTPS on an address we give you, or on your own domain.
AI models, connected
Chat models are ready to use. Document search and voice use models we set up for them. No API keys to manage.
Chats saved and backed up
Chats, users and settings are kept in a database of your own, backed up twice a day.
File storage
Uploaded documents are kept when Open WebUI updates.
Connected to the Roar AI Gateway
The AI Gateway is how Open WebUI reaches its models. It gives your company one account and one bill for every model, with a published price for each.
200+ models, one account
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama and more, without signing up with each AI company.
A published price per model
Each model has a rate we publish, and it does not change from one request to the next.
Spend you can see

Our hosting: Open WebUI and its database, from the memory they used on our servers, October 2026. Your server: rent for a 2 to 4 GB server only; storage and backups are extra work or extra cost. ChatGPT Business and server prices are in US dollars. Rupee prices are our published US dollar rates converted at LKR 330.00 to the dollar, our rate for October 2026 — the same rate your invoice uses.
Hosted in Sri Lanka
Open WebUI and its database run in Colombo, so your chats and files stay in Sri Lanka.
Questions about Open WebUI hosting
What is Open WebUI?
A free chat app that looks and works like ChatGPT. Your team uses it in the browser to ask questions, upload documents and talk to AI models. It runs on your own server rather than on someone else’s.
Is this the real Open WebUI?
Yes, the official release, run unmodified and tested before it reaches you. Open WebUI is made by Open WebUI Inc.; Roar AI hosts it and is not affiliated with them.
Do I need to know Docker or servers?
No. You launch Open WebUI from the console, and Roar AI sets up the server, database, file storage and model connections.
Where are chats and files kept?
In Colombo, Sri Lanka: chats in a database beside Open WebUI, files in the app’s storage. A message goes only to the model you chose for that chat.
How much does it cost?
Hosting is about LKR 4,700 a month for Open WebUI and its database, from the memory they use. Chats are billed per model at the published rate. There are no per-person fees.
How is this different from ChatGPT Business?
ChatGPT Business charges US$25 a person a month for OpenAI’s models. Roar AI charges for hosting and the chats your team sends, on any model we serve, with no seat fees.
How do people join?
The first account you create becomes the admin. Everyone else signs up and waits for the admin to approve them, or the admin adds them directly.
Can I generate images?
Yes, once the admin turns it on in its admin settings, under Images. It is already pointed at Roar AI.
Can I put our own name and logo on it?
No. We run Open WebUI unmodified, so it keeps its own name and logo, as its license requires for teams of more than 50 people.
