# Deploy and Host open-webui on Railway

Open-webui is a highly flexible, user-focused, and privacy-conscious web interface for large language models (LLMs). It enables users to interact with offline or remote LLMs like Ollama or OpenAI and supports advanced features including plugins, pipelines, role-based access, and progressive web app capabilities.

## About Hosting open-webui

Hosting open-webui involves deploying a secure, self-hosted AI platform, giving complete control over configuration and privacy for teams or individuals. The Railway platform simplifies this by enabling fast, automated setup—no manual server management needed. Railway handles dependency installation, scaling, storage, and public/private web access. Optional pipelines add modular workflows and custom logic. The system supports both Docker and containerized deployments, allowing seamless integration of LLMs, user groups, and plugins with minimal hands-on infrastructure work.
