Hey Goosely,
I’ve got my local LLM fully set up and exposed for the AI Chat Viewers feature, 
but I’ve hit a UI bug on the HoboStreamer side that’s blocking me.
What I have working on my end:
Running Open WebUI (Docker) connected to local Ollama with the model qwen3:8b 
Generated an API key inside Open WebUI
Exposed Open WebUI publicly with a Cloudflare quick tunnel (cloudflared)
The public Base URL is reachable from the internet

What’s happening in the AI Chat Viewers settings:
I paste my API key into the API token field.
I click Save → I get the green “saved” notification.
The API token field immediately reverts back to the placeholder (sk-....) / appears empty again. 
The key is not actually being saved.
When I click Test connection, I get a red error popup saying it couldn’t reach the server 
(the error shows a placeholder-style URL like "sk-...(leave blank for blah blah blah).

It feels like the API token field has a saving/persistence bug 
(the value isn’t being stored properly even though the UI says “saved”).
Could you take a look at the save logic for the API token field on the AI Chat Viewers settings page when you get a chance? 
Once the key actually sticks, I should be able to finish testing the connection with my self-hosted setup.Thanks!
