Open WebUI supports image generation through the AUTOMATIC1111 API. Here are the steps to get started:

Initial Setup

1. Ensure that you have AUTOMATIC1111 installed.
2. Launch AUTOMATIC1111 with additional flags to enable API access:

/webui.sh --api --listen

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

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:

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.
