In this video, I'll show you my new self-hosted AI platform deployed in my HomeLab using the free and open-source Ollama platform. I'll walk you through setting up OpenWebUI for an easy-to-use web interface with advanced features even ChatGPT might envy—and securing it with Traefik and Authentik. Plus, I’ll share some valuable tips to avoid common pitfalls when building your own local AI server.
