Open WebUI + Gonka AI - your own ChatGPT
Open WebUI is the most popular self-hosted ChatGPT interface. Beautiful UI, chat history, multimodal support, RAG, custom prompts, support for many models. Can be deployed in 5 minutes via Docker.
Open WebUI supports OpenAI-compatible APIs. By connecting JoinGonka Gateway, you get a full-fledged ChatGPT alternative for your team—for $0.001/1M tokens. The Gateway also supports the Anthropic API (/v1/messages), extending compatibility with ecosystem tools. No subscriptions ($20/month for ChatGPT Plus), no limits, full control over your data.
Step 1: Get API Key and Deploy Open WebUI
API Key: register at gate.joingonka.ai/register, get 10M free tokens, create a jg-xxx key.
Open WebUI Docker installation:
docker run -d \
--name open-webui \
-p 3000:8080 \
-e OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=jg-your-key \
-v open-webui:/app/backend/data \
ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:mainOpen http://localhost:3000 - Open WebUI is ready to go.
Without Docker: if Docker is not installed, Open WebUI can be deployed via pip:
pip install open-webui
OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1 \
OPENAI_API_KEY=jg-your-key \
open-webui serveStep 2: Configure via UI
If you deployed Open WebUI without env variables, configure via the interface:
- Open Open WebUI → Create an administrator account.
- Go to Admin Panel → Settings → Connections.
- In the OpenAI API section:
- API URL:
https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1 - API Key:
jg-your-key
- API URL:
- Click Save.
- In the model, select
Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-FP8.
For your team: create accounts for colleagues. Each gets their own chat interface, history, personal prompts - but all use one API key and one JoinGonka balance.
Features:
- Markdown rendering with code highlighting
- Document upload for analysis (RAG)
- Custom system prompts
- Export/import chats
- Mobile interface
Open WebUI vs ChatGPT Plus
Let's compare Open WebUI + Gonka with a ChatGPT Plus subscription:
| Parameter | Open WebUI + Gonka | ChatGPT Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Price/month (1 user) | ~$0.30 | $20 |
| Price/month (10 person team) | ~$3.00 | $200 ($250 Team) |
| Message limits | No limits | 40-80 GPT-4 in 3 hours |
| Self-hosted | Yes (Docker) | No |
| Data privacy | Full (your server) | Data on OpenAI servers |
| Custom prompts | Unlimited | Limited |
| Model selection | Any OpenAI-compatible | Only OpenAI models |
| RAG (documents) | Built-in | Limited |
| Max. response length | 2048 tokens | 16K+ tokens |
Open WebUI + Gonka is 60-80 times cheaper than ChatGPT Plus for a single user, and even more cost-effective for teams. Plus — full data control, no limits, with customization.
