How to Install 🚀

🌟 Important Note on User Roles and Privacy:

  • Admin Creation: The very first account to sign up on Open WebUI will be granted Administrator privileges. This account will have comprehensive control over the platform, including user management and system settings.

  • User Registrations: All subsequent users signing up will initially have their accounts set to Pending status by default. These accounts will require approval from the Administrator to gain access to the platform functionalities.

  • Privacy and Data Security: We prioritize your privacy and data security above all. Please be reassured that all data entered into Open WebUI is stored locally on your device. Our system is designed to be privacy-first, ensuring that no external requests are made, and your data does not leave your local environment. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security, ensuring that your information remains confidential and under your control.

Steps to Install Open WebUI

Before You Begin

  1. Installing Docker:

    • For Windows and Mac Users:

      • Download Docker Desktop from Docker's official website.
      • Follow the installation instructions provided on the website. 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
      • Update your package index:
        sudo apt-get update
        
      • Install Docker using the following command:
        sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
        
      • Verify the Docker installation with:
        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:

  3. Verify Ollama Installation:

    • After installing Ollama, check if it's working by visiting http://127.0.0.1:11434/ in your web browser. Remember, the port number might be different for you.

Installing with Docker 🐳

  • Important: When using Docker to install Open WebUI, make sure to include the -v open-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:

    docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
    
  • To build the container yourself, follow these steps:

    docker build -t open-webui .
    docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always open-webui
    
  • After installation, you can access Open WebUI at 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:

    docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
    

    Or for a self-built container:

    docker build -t open-webui .
    docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always open-webui
    

Installing Ollama and Open WebUI Together

Using Docker Compose

  • If you don't have Ollama yet, use Docker Compose for easy installation. Run this command:

    docker compose up -d --build
    
  • For GPU Support: Use an additional Docker Compose file:

    docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d --build
    
  • To Expose Ollama API: Use another Docker Compose file:

    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:

    chmod +x run-compose.sh
    
  • For CPU-only container:

    ./run-compose.sh
    
  • For GPU support (read the note about GPU compatibility):

    ./run-compose.sh --enable-gpu
    
  • To build the latest local version, add --build:

    ./run-compose.sh --enable-gpu --build
    

Alternative Installation Methods

For other ways to install, like using Kustomize or Helm, check out INSTALLATION.md. Join our Open WebUI Discord community for more help and information.

Updating your Docker Installation

In case you want to update your local Docker installation to the latest version, you can do it with Watchtower:

docker run --rm --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --run-once open-webui

In the last part of the command, replace open-webui with your container name if it is different.

Moving from Ollama WebUI to Open WebUI

Given recent name changes, the docker image has been renamed. Additional steps are required to update for those people that used Ollama WebUI previously and want to start using the new images.

Updating to Open WebUI without keeping your data

If you want to update to the new image but don't want to keep any previous data like conversations, prompts, documents, etc. you can perform the following steps:

docker rm -f ollama-webui
docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
[insert the equivalent command that you used to install with the new Docker image name]
docker volume rm ollama-webui

For example, for local installation it would be docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main. For other installation commands, check the relevant parts of this README document.

Migrating your contents from Ollama WebUI to Open WebUI

If you want to update to the new image migrating all your previous settings like conversations, prompts, documents, etc. you can perform the following steps:

docker rm -f ollama-webui
docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
# Creates a new volume and uses a temporary container to copy from one volume to another as per https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/31154#issuecomment-360531460
docker volume create --name open-webui
docker run --rm -v ollama-webui:/from -v open-webui:/to alpine ash -c "cd /from ; cp -av . /to"
[insert the equivalent command that you used to install with the new Docker image name]

Once you verify that all the data has been migrated you can erase the old volumen using the following command:

docker volume rm ollama-webui

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

Open WebUI 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 📦

Build and Install 🛠️

Run the following commands to install:

git clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui.git
cd open-webui/

# Copying required .env file
cp -RPp .env.example .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 Open WebUI up and running at http://localhost:8080/. Enjoy! 😄
