Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool (lemmy.world)

I don't consider myself very technical. I've never taken a computer science course and don't know python. I've learned some things like Linux, the command line, docker and networking/pfSense because I value my privacy. My point is that anyone can do this, even if you aren't technical.

I tried both LM Studio and Ollama. I prefer Ollama. Then you download models and use them to have your own private, personal GPT. I access it both on my local machine through the command line but I also installed Open WebUI in a docker container so I can access it on any device on my local network (I don't expose services to the internet).

Having a private ai/gpt is pretty cool. You can download and test new models. And it is private. Yes, there are ethical concerns about how the model got the training. I'm not minimizing those concerns. But if you want your own AI/GPT assistant, give it a try. I set it up in a couple of hours, and as I said... I'm not even that technical.

With all respect, the first paragraph seems self contradictory.

Very cool! You can use something like Tailscale to access your local services remotely without exposing them to the internet.

I switched from OpenWebUI to Alpaca as I had no use for multi accounts.

Open WebUI now has a docker environment variable so you can, by default, turn off the login page. You just declare it when you’re spinning up the container and you’re good to go.

I like libadwaita which Alpaca has

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
NVR	Network Video Recorder (generally for CCTV)
PSU	Power Supply Unit
VPN	Virtual Private Network

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 12 acronyms.
