Open WebUI (Ollama UI) with Meridian

Point Open WebUI at Meridian's OpenAI-compatible endpoint to route all chat requests through your Meridian gateway — retaining rate limits, key scoping, and usage analytics.

Add OpenAI API Connection

  1. 1Open your Open WebUI instance and navigate to Admin Panel → Settings → Connections.
  2. 2Under OpenAI API, set the URL to:https://meridian.getnimbus.net/api/v1
  3. 3Paste your Meridian API key in the key field:nim_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••••
  4. 4Click Save. Open WebUI will verify connectivity — you should see a green checkmark.

Model Mapping

Meridian proxies model names transparently. Any model you select in Open WebUI's dropdown is forwarded as-is. Ensure the model name matches a route configured in your Meridian model catalog.

Tip: Prefix your key with a scope tag (e.g., nim_live_openwebui_•••) to isolate Open WebUI traffic in Meridian analytics.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized: Verify the key starts with nim_live_ and hasn't expired.
  • Connection refused: Ensure Open WebUI can reach meridian.getnimbus.net on port 443.
  • Model not found: Confirm the model name exists in your Meridian routes and that your key has access to it.
