docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_secret_key -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
```
- **OpenAI-compatible gateways / custom base URL**: set `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL` (and the matching key) to any server that speaks the OpenAI HTTP API. Examples:
```bash
# Official OpenAI (default when OPENAI_API_BASE_URL is unset)
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... \
-v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always \
ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
# OpenAI-compatible multi-model gateway (e.g. DaoXE)
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 \
-e OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=https://api.daoxe.com/v1 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... \
-v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always \
ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
```
You can also configure base URLs in **Admin → Settings → Connections** after startup. Use a model ID that the target endpoint actually serves (`/v1/models`).
