// What it is

A closer look.

If Open WebUI is the "Ollama-first" choice, LibreChat is the "OpenAI-first" choice — both excellent, slightly different positioning.

// Tips & operations

Run it properly.

Operational guidance from running this in production — what to do before you scale, what to lock down, what surprises people.

// PERFORMANCE

Set up auth before exposing

multi-user mode defaults to open registration; disable in env

// SECURITY

MongoDB sizing

conversation history grows fast; plan disk + replica from day one

// OPERATIONS

Rate-limit per user

OpenAI / Anthropic costs can explode without quotas; set tier limits in env

// RELIABILITY

MeiliSearch for history search

without it, conversation search is slow; include from start

// DEPLOYMENT

API key rotation

store keys in env, not config; rotate quarterly

// SCALING

Sandbox code interpreter carefully

Python execution = security risk; use Docker isolation
