Self-hosted WebUI workbench for GPT-image-2 with a local job queue and OpenAI-compatible auth.
What is ilab-gpt-conjure?
A self-hosted web workbench that wraps OpenAI's GPT-image-2 (and any OpenAI-compatible image endpoint) for prompt-based generation, reference images and editing. It manages concurrent jobs with a local queue, keeps a searchable SQLite history, and supports both API-key and Codex/ChatGPT OAuth auth. It is a frontend, not a model: a paid API sits behind every image.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Single-purpose UI for GPT-image-2 with queueing and searchable history
- Two auth paths: API key or Codex/ChatGPT OAuth
- AGPL keeps the whole stack open, not just a demo
Cons
- Frontend only: you still pay OpenAI per image, there is no local generation
- AGPL-3.0 is a real constraint if you want to embed it in a closed product
- Single-maintainer project still at v0.5.x, small and young
License
AGPL-3.0 (OSI-open)
AGPL-3.0: because it is network-facing, hosting a modified version obliges you to publish your changes.
When it is interesting
You want a self-hosted, queue-managed UI over OpenAI's image API instead of the ChatGPT web app.
When it is too early
You expected local or offline image generation, or need a permissive license for commercial embedding.
