StackPilot Step-by-Step Checklist for Open WebUI + Ollama AI

  1. For 100% private local 7B/8B models, deploy UltaHost 32GB VDS (zero CPU steal). For API-backed multi-model chat (OpenRouter/Gemini/Anthropic), even an 8GB KVM works.

  2. Launch Open WebUI bound behind Caddy HTTPS with invite-only user signup, RBAC permissions, and persistent vector RAG storage for internal docs.

  3. Run ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b for free local coding help and plug pay-as-you-go API keys ($3–$8/mo actual usage vs $60+ seat minimums).

StackPilot Troubleshooting FAQ for Open WebUI + Ollama AI

Why pick UltaHost VDS or Vultr GPU instead of cheap shared hosting for Ollama on StackPilot?

Local LLM inference streams gigabytes of model weights through memory on every token. UltaHost VDS dedicates physical RAM and CPU cores with zero noisy-neighbor throttling, while Vultr offers fractional NVIDIA GPUs.

Can my 5-person team share prompts and PDF knowledge bases in Open WebUI on StackPilot?

Yes! Open WebUI includes shared workspaces, custom system prompts, citation-backed PDF/Markdown RAG collections, and per-user role controls.

How much do makers actually save switching from ChatGPT Team on StackPilot?

A 4-person indie studio paying $120/mo ($1,440/yr) typically drops to a $6–$37.50/mo server plus ~$9/mo in API tokens — saving roughly $900–$1,200/yr.
