ollama-webui VS SillyTavern

I'm a podman beginner, trying to install ollama-webui(1) using Podman on M2 MBA.

I started up Podman Desktop, and did a terminal command "docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main" based on Github's instructions, but it gave a error message something about "host".

Do you know what is the problem and how do I overcome this?

If I run the above command using Docker Desktop, it runs and installs Ollama-WebUI just fine.

Thank you.

I set up Ollama in a docker container (really easy) and I use the Ollama web-ui here, that's very much like ChatGPT, and I have that in a container as well.

The primary use case here seems to be that it might be possible to use this tool to spend <$20/mo for the same feature set as ChatGPT+. It does not currently make any effort to support locally-hosted open source models, which is what I would have assumed from its name.

If you're interested in a fully Libre LLM stack, I've had fun lately with ollama [0] and ollama-webui [1]. It was pretty trivial to take ollama-webui's docker-compose file and set up a locally-running chat server with Mistral 7B. Trying out different models and prompts was likewise very easy to get started with.

Mistral isn't anything like as good as GPT-4, but it's Apache licensed and fully local, which meets my definition of Libre. I'll continue to use both while the FOSS stacks catch up, but it's fun to keep up with the progress on the open source stuff as tooling develops.

Right, but it's certainly easier for people who might not even know what "API" stands for, and that's quite nifty. As far as self-hosted frontends go, I can personally recommend SillyTavern[1] in the browser, ChatterUI[2] on mobile, and ShellGPT[3] for CLI. LobeChat looks pretty cool, though! I'll definitely check it out.

I don't think there is any enumeration for {{char}} macros. Here is some good discussion on the subject.

As for SillyTavern, you need the main SillyTavern frontend and SillyTavern-extras (for TTS, STT, etc.) They're pretty easy to install. SillyTavern connects to oobabooga and SillyTavern-extras via API.

Finally, no matter what backend I use, I need it to be compatible with my power-user frontend, SillyTavern. That way I always use the same UI, with the characters I created and extensions I want, e. g. web search, XTTS text-to-speech and Whisper speech recognition for real-time voice chat - and all of that local!

SillyTavern v1.10.5 frontend (not the latest as I don't want to upgrade mid-test)
