NextChat v2: the world's most-deployed self-hosted ChatGPT interface
In one sentence NextChat (formerly ChatGPT-Next-Web) surpasses 60,000 GitHub stars with v2: single-binary Docker deployment, multi-provider support (OpenAI, Azure, local models), mask/template system, becoming the reference self-hosted UI for enterprises wanting data control.
Many companies want to use AI like ChatGPT but with one fundamental guarantee: that their employees' data is never sent to third-party servers. NextChat offers exactly that: an interface identical to ChatGPT, but running completely under the organization's control.
With a single Docker command, a company can have their own "private version of ChatGPT" running in minutes. The interface is clean, modern, supports multi-turn conversations, and allows configuring "masks" — pre-configured AI personalities for specific uses (customer support, content writing, data analysis).
Version 2 added support for connecting not just OpenAI, but also fully local models via Ollama or LM Studio. This allowed companies to build hybrid pipelines: cloud models for generic tasks, local models for processing sensitive documents. With over 60,000 GitHub stars, it became the reference project for anyone wanting a private enterprise AI without development costs.
