Key Points

  • The post seeks an Open WebUI alternative that is Docker-native and can support online search and PDF reading, with the ability to connect to vLLM.
  • They would like Postgres integration via docker-compose if possible.
  • The user notes that Open WebUI is too slow and bloated for their tasks, compared to Cline.
  • A Reddit thread link is provided for reference.

Alright, I've delayed long enough to switch out of Open WebUI. It's too slow/bloated for my tasks now, as capabilities grow, at least compared to Cline anyway.

So, what are some good ones? EDIT: I'm looking to connect it to vLLM. Connecting to Postgres would also be nice, if that can be provided in the docker-compose.yml or something.
