After installation, open Docker Desktop to ensure it's running properly. - **For Ubuntu and Other Linux Users:** - Open your terminal. - Set up your Docker apt repository according to the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository) - Update your package index: ```bash sudo apt-get update ``` - Install Docker using the following command: ```bash sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io ``` - Verify the Docker installation with: ```bash sudo docker run hello-world ``` This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container, which prints an informational message. 2. **Ensure You Have the Latest Version of Ollama:** - Download the latest version from [https://ollama.com/](https://ollama.com/). 3. **Verify Ollama Installation:** - After installing Ollama, check if it's working by visiting [http://127.0.0.1:11434/](http://127.0.0.1:11434/) in your web browser. Remember, the port number might be different for you. #### Installing with Docker ๐Ÿณ - **Important:** When using Docker to install Ollama Web UI, make sure to include the `-v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data` in your Docker command. This step is crucial as it ensures your database is properly mounted and prevents any loss of data. - **If Ollama is on your computer**, use this command: ```bash docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main ``` - **To build the container yourself**, follow these steps: ```bash docker build -t ollama-webui . docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui ``` - After installation, you can access Ollama Web UI at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). #### Using Ollama on a Different Server - To connect to Ollama on another server, change the `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL` to the server's URL: ```bash docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main ``` Or for a self-built container: ```bash docker build -t ollama-webui . docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui ``` ### Installing Ollama and Ollama Web UI Together #### Using Docker Compose - If you don't have Ollama yet, use Docker Compose for easy installation. Run this command: ```bash docker compose up -d --build ``` - **For GPU Support:** Use an additional Docker Compose file: ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d --build ``` - **To Expose Ollama API:** Use another Docker Compose file: ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.api.yaml up -d --build ``` #### Using `run-compose.sh` Script (Linux or Docker-Enabled WSL2 on Windows) - Give execute permission to the script: ```bash chmod +x run-compose.sh ``` - For CPU-only container: ```bash ./run-compose.sh ``` - For GPU support (read the note about GPU compatibility): ```bash ./run-compose.sh --enable-gpu ``` - To build the latest local version, add `--build`: ```bash ./run-compose.sh --enable-gpu --build ``` ### Alternative Installation Methods For other ways to install, like using Kustomize or Helm, check out [INSTALLATION.md](/INSTALLATION.md). Join our [Ollama Web UI Discord community](https://discord.gg/5rJgQTnV4s) for more help and information. ## How to Install Without Docker While we strongly recommend using our convenient Docker container installation for optimal support, we understand that some situations may require a non-Docker setup, especially for development purposes. Please note that non-Docker installations are not officially supported, and you might need to troubleshoot on your own. ### Project Components The Ollama Web UI consists of two primary components: the frontend and the backend (which serves as a reverse proxy, handling static frontend files, and additional features). Both need to be running concurrently for the development environment. > [!IMPORTANT] > The backend is required for proper functionality ### Requirements ๐Ÿ“ฆ - ๐Ÿฐ [Bun](https://bun.sh) >= 1.0.21 or ๐Ÿข [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) >= 20.10 - ๐Ÿ [Python](https://python.org) >= 3.11 ### Build and Install ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Run the following commands to install: ```sh git clone https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui.git cd ollama-webui/ # Copying required .env file cp -RPp example.env .env # Building Frontend Using Node npm i npm run build # or Building Frontend Using Bun # bun install # bun run build # Serving Frontend with the Backend cd ./backend pip install -r requirements.txt -U sh start.sh ``` You should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at http://localhost:8080/.
