Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

It's been many weeks since --webui-config and --webui-config-file don't work for me. I was expecting that they were bugs that would be quickly fixed, but here I am... I use Chromium in Linux, and also tested it in Librefox. I don't have a github account and don't want to make it just to report this issue, but I doubt it's a bug anyway, someone else would have already reported it. Any clue about what could be happening?

Command examples in case you want to test it:

llama-server --models-preset ~/models/presets.ini --webui-config '{"systemMessage": "You are a helpful assistant.", "showSystemMessage": false, "showMessageStats":"true"}' --model ~/models/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-MTP-Q4_K_XL.gguf --temp 0.6 --min-p 0 --top-k 20 --top-p 0.95 --mcp-servers-config ~/config/llama-mcp-servers.json

or

llama-server --models-preset ~/models/presets.ini --webui-config-file ~/config/llama_settings_2026-07-28.json --model ~/models/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-MTP-Q4_K_XL.gguf --temp 0.6 --min-p 0 --top-k 20 --top-p 0.95 --mcp-servers-config ~/config/llama-mcp-servers.json

The webui config json file is loaded in this last command, I know it because if I make a wrong json file it throws an error, but the configurations don't show up in Settings window an the are completely ignored, I have to load it manually using the Import/Export tab in the Settings.

Flatpak variants of browsers might have issues because of having no access to all directories.

For example I can’t open the local Rust documentation in Flatpak Librewolf.

Good catch. Yeah I run both browsers from flatpak. The weird thing is that the presets.ini and mcp-servers.json files are loaded without issues.

The config settings are passed via /props. Use the browser developer tools network tab and you should see them passed through there.

Thanks! yeah, the configuration has passed through and I can see the correct settings there, but they don't show up in the Settings and I also checked that they are no "loaded", e.g. the model ignores the system prompt of the config file, something that doesn't happen when I load the config file manually.
