OUI-MAX
Custom, clean-slate extensions and ops for Open WebUI + Ollama.
Goals
- Unconstrained admin tooling: safe-by-context (container/VM), not sandboxed.
- Deterministic defaults: minimal, known-good toolset enabled automatically.
- Infra-as-code: versioned changes and rollout scripts.

Getting Started
- Create a feature branch:
git checkout -b feature/<short-desc> - Make changes; open a PR to
dev - Merge to
mainfor release
Autonomous Duo Agents (Qwen3‑8B via Ollama)
- Ensure Ollama serves Qwen3‑8B (e.g.,
ollama pull qwen3:8b). - In Open WebUI, run:
agents.duo(objective="<your goal>", max_turns=6). - Env overrides:
OUI_DEFAULT_MODEL,OLLAMA_URL.
Research Mode (No Constraints)
- Guardrails disabled by default via
OUI_DISABLE_GUARDS=1in.env. - Dangerous tools are marked “unsafe” (e.g.,
apt,run_bash_command,shell,proc). Use RBAC in Open WebUI before publicizing to all users.
Project Overview
OUI-MAX provides a wide range of tools, which are registered with Open WebUI. The capabilities can be broken down into these categories:
- System Management: Full control over system packages (apt), process management (proc), and system information (system).
- File & Directory Operations: Comprehensive, unguarded file system access (files) for reading, writing, moving, and deleting files, plus an in-place editor for textual modifications.
- Execution & Networking: Ability to run arbitrary code and commands via python_runner, shell, and run_bash_command. It can also make HTTP requests via oui_http and fetcher.
- Orchestration & Automation: Tools for executing multi-step plans (compose), running background jobs (scheduler), and creating collaborative agents (agents).
- Web Research: A suite of tools for interacting with the web, including search (web_search), crawling (crawler), scraping (scraper), and parsing feeds/sitemaps (rss, sitemap).
- Version Control: Git and GitHub integration (git_tools, gh_tools) for managing codebases and pull requests.
- Database Administration: Direct read/write access to the Open WebUI SQLite database (db_admin).
Current Status
The project is under active development. According to the operations_history.md, the most recent updates (as of 2025-09-02) include:
- Deployment: The database seeding process was improved to "upsert" tools, meaning it updates them without wiping existing data. This is a less destructive and more robust deployment method.
- New Features: Two significant tools were added: ollama for direct interaction with the Ollama API, and agents for orchestrating two collaborating AI agents.
- Guardrails: The security guardrail system was updated to be disable-able via the OUI_DISABLE_GUARDS=1 environment variable.
- Bug Fixes: A bug in the research.quick tool was fixed.
