Covers running Open WebUI standalone in Docker, connecting Token Station as a custom OpenAI-compatible provider, and the article's centerpiece: Open WebUI's model selector auto-populates directly from the key's full catalog via /models, no manual per-model registration. Also covers the Private/Public access-control step needed before non-admin users can select a model, and switching models from the chat interface as an end user. All facts (Docker command, connection UI path and field names, the /models auto-detection mechanism, the Access Control mechanism) verified hands-on against a real running instance and a real Token Station key before drafting, including the full chat-and-dashboard billing loop. Includes a walkthrough video and a branded cover image. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UqCvMEhxDdfHNfVYqshrT4
Cursor, the Grok companion, and this article all used the same "X, wired in." headline pattern. Swaps this one to "One instance, any model." with a matching subhead, reflecting the multi-user model-switching angle that's actually distinct about Open WebUI.
