## How to Install 🚀
### Installing Both Ollama and Ollama Web UI Using Docker Compose
If you don't have Ollama installed yet, you can use the provided Docker Compose file for a hassle-free installation. Simply run the following command:
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
This command will install both Ollama and Ollama Web UI on your system.
#### Enable GPU
Use the additional Docker Compose file designed to enable GPU support by running the following command:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.gpu.yml up -d --build
```
#### Expose Ollama API outside the container stack
Deploy the service with an additional Docker Compose file designed for API exposure:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.api.yml up -d --build
```
### Installing Ollama Web UI Only
#### Prerequisites
Make sure you have the latest version of Ollama installed before proceeding with the installation. You can find the latest version of Ollama at [https://ollama.ai/](https://ollama.ai/).
##### Checking Ollama
After installing Ollama, verify that Ollama is running by accessing the following link in your web browser: [http://127.0.0.1:11434/](http://127.0.0.1:11434/). Note that the port number may differ based on your system configuration.
#### Using Docker 🐳
**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 hosted on your local machine and accessible at [http://127.0.0.1:11434/](http://127.0.0.1:11434/), run the following 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
```
Alternatively, if you prefer to build the container yourself, use the following command:
```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
```
Your Ollama Web UI should now be hosted at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and accessible over LAN (or Network). Enjoy! 😄
#### Accessing External Ollama on a Different Server
Change `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL` environment variable to match the external Ollama Server 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
```
Alternatively, if you prefer to build the container yourself, use the following command:
```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
```
## 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.
**Warning: Backend Dependency for Proper Functionality**
### TL;DR 🚀
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
npm i
npm run build
# Serving Frontend with the Backend
cd ./backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
sh start.sh
```
You should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at http://localhost:8080/. Enjoy! 😄
