What is R2R?

R2R is a self-hosted LLM web UI for running model backends, knowledge features, user management, and chat access in your own environment.
Best fit: Developers or small teams that need a self-hosted AI chat interface and can maintain Docker, storage, auth, model backends, and reverse proxy settings.
Not for: Not for users who only need a single model API call or do not want to maintain containers, auth, networking, or service configuration.
Capability added to an AI workflow: Self-hosting deployment checks, Docker volume review, auth configuration checks, OAI/Ollama endpoint validation, and recovery guidance
First safe verification step: Verify Docker volumes, auth settings, OAI/Ollama endpoints, and rollback in an isolated environment first.
Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
Top risk: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.

Source-linked risks stay visible on the manual page so the preview does not read like a recommendation.

Preflight checks

Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.

The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
This English page is indexable because the locale quality gate passed and explicit English index approval is enabled.
Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
