Overview

LLM Controller Community Edition is a self-hosted browser app for chatting with local GGUF models through a configured llama-server executable.

Keep saved conversations in Projects, add personal or Project instructions, and work with documents and compatible images. Optional local dictation fills the composer for review before sending.

Start with installation and upgrades, then choose a guide below. This wiki covers CE v1.4.0; use instructions matching your installed release.

Core Experience

Chat first

Saved conversations, Projects, instructions, documents, images, and portable chat/Project backups.

Open Chat, Projects & Files

Runtime drawers

Logs, model status, GPU telemetry, analytics, and chat history tools stay close to the chat without taking over the page.

Open Runtime Visibility

Admin control

Manage local models, users, optional API/speech settings, and installation backup responsibilities.

Open Administration

Operator setup

The installer and Admin Settings drawer define the database connection, runtime defaults, attachment limits, SMTP settings, and local prerequisites.

Open Installation & Settings

Local Runtime

Model execution

Admins load a compatible local GGUF model through the configured llama-server runtime. Titles normally use the main model, with an optional dedicated model under the managed lifecycle. Speech uses its own optional environment.

Storage

MySQL stores system data, accounts, preferences, and registry/settings information. Local SQLite stores chat, Project, and request-tracking data. Exports and full installation backups have different purposes.
