What you’ll make possible
Make a simple data-flow map for an Open WebUI and Ollama setup.
Open WebUI is the interface; Ollama can provide the model runtime. Both can participate in local or cloud-connected workflows. The interface being on your computer does not establish where every request goes.
Example map: browser → Open WebUI → selected model endpoint. Add separate branches for any search, document processing or other connected tools. This is a planning exercise, not proof that a system is private.
// Your turn
Try this.
Draw three boxes: the browser, Open WebUI and the selected model endpoint. Label the computer or service hosting each one.
Check whether the chosen Ollama model is local or a cloud option. Record the actual selection rather than assuming all Ollama use is local.
Add any connected search or file-processing service. If you cannot inspect it, label its location and data handling unknown.
Write what each arrow may carry, such as prompt text or a document excerpt. Keep private content out of the diagram.
Use the map to decide what needs checking before a real task: access, storage, backups, provider terms and costs. Link to the official setup guide rather than guessing commands.
