OpenWebUI says it's designed to operate entirely offline - that's not an alternative to Perplexity. I need online search functionality, that's pretty much the only reason why I pay them. I have offline solutions set up on my pc.

OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don't know how "good" it is.. mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

Now, if only enterprise glass GPU's weren't so power hungry and expensive..
