Frustratingly bad at self hosting. Can someone help me access LLMs on my rig from my phone (lemmy.zip)

tl-dr

-Can someone give me step by step instructions (ELI5) on how to get access to my LLM's on my rig from my phone?

Jan seems the easiest but I've tried with Ollama, librechat, etc.

.....

I've taken steps to secure my data and now I'm going the selfhosting route. I don't care to become a savant with the technical aspects of this stuff but even the basics are hard to grasp! I've been able to install a LLM provider on my rig (Ollama, Librechat, Jan, all of em) and I can successfully get models running on them. BUT what I would LOVE to do is access the LLM's on my rig from my phone while I'm within proximity. I've read that I can do that via wifi or LAN or something like that but I have had absolutely no luck. Jan seems the easiest because all you have to do is something with an API key but I can't even figure that out.

Any help?

Ollama + open webui + tailscale/netbird

Open webui provides a fully functional docker with ollama, so just find the section that applies to you (amd, nvidia, etc) https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-with-docker-

And on that host install netbird or Tailscale, install the same on your phone, in tailscale you need to enable magicdns but in netbird I think it provides dns by default.

Once the docker is running and both your server and phone are connected to the vpn (netbird or tailscale) you just type the dns of your server in your phone's browser (in netbird it would be "yourserver.netbird.cloud" and in tailscale it would be "yourserver.yourtsnet.ts.net")

Checkout networkchuck on youtube as he has a lot of simple tutorials.

Bet. I believe what you mentioned is best for accessing my LLM no matter where I am in the world, correct? If so I will try this one after I try what the other person suggested.

Thank you!
