DreamLayer WebUI
What this lets you do
Create and refine images in persistent local conversations. DreamLayer WebUI is the visual interface bundled with the loopback runtime. It is separate from the logged-in developer console.What you need
- A running DreamLayer clone
- The loopback URL printed by
./dreamlayer - The sample connector, local ComfyUI, or a configured BYOK provider
Steps
1. Create a turn
- Enter a prompt.
- Optionally attach one PNG, JPEG, or WebP reference image.
- Choose an explicit connector or an enabled local orchestrator.
- Submit and follow the durable job state.
2. Continue a conversation
Open a completed result, use it as the next reference, and enter the next instruction. V1 executes one workflow node for each turn.3. Recover after refresh
The browser reloads conversations and canonical jobs from the runtime. A browser refresh does not create a second provider request.Confirm it worked
The turn reaches a visible terminal state. A completed turn shows one image, and reopening the conversation preserves its prior turns.Common errors
- A reference image is rejected when its format or published size limits are unsupported.
- A connector fails closed when its key, model, or local dependency is unavailable.
- A recovered job can end in a visible failure when safe continuation is impossible.
Troubleshooting
Provider and DreamLayer keys live in the local server configuration, never browser JavaScript or browser storage. Run./dreamlayer doctor --json, then see Troubleshooting if a service is not ready.
