Open WebUI supports image generation through the **AUTOMATIC1111** [API](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/API). Here are the steps to get started:

### Initial Setup

1. Ensure that you have [AUTOMATIC1111](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) installed.
2. Launch AUTOMATIC1111 with additional flags to enable API access:

```python
/webui.sh --api --listen
```

3. For Docker installation of WebUI with the environment variables preset, use the following command:

```docker
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -e AUTOMATIC1111_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:7860/ -e ENABLE_IMAGE_GENERATION=True -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
```

### Setting Up Open WebUI with AUTOMATIC1111

1. In Open WebUI, navigate to the **Admin Panel** > **Settings** > **Images** menu.
2. Set the `Image Generation Engine` field to `Default (Automatic1111)`.
3. In the API URL field, enter the address where AUTOMATIC1111's API is accessible:

```txt
http://<your_automatic1111_address>:7860/
```

If you're running a Docker installation of Open WebUI and AUTOMATIC1111 on the same host, use `http://host.docker.internal:7860/` as your address.
