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:

docker compose up -d --build

This command will install both Ollama and Ollama Web UI on your system. Ensure to modify the compose.yaml file for GPU support and Exposing Ollama API outside the container stack if needed.

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/.

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/. Note that the port number may differ based on your system configuration.

Using Docker 🐳

If Ollama is hosted on your local machine and accessible at http://127.0.0.1:11434/, run the following command:

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway --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:

docker build -t ollama-webui .
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

Your Ollama Web UI should now be hosted at 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:

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api --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:

docker build -t ollama-webui .
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=https://example.com/api --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

How to Build for Static Deployment

1. Clone & Enter the project

   git clone https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui.git
   pushd ./ollama-webui/

2. Create and edit .env

   cp -RPp example.env .env

3. Install node dependencies

   npm i

4. Run in dev mode, or build the site for deployment

   • Test in Dev mode:

     npm run dev

   • Build for Deploy:

     #`PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` will overwrite the value in `.env`
     PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL='https://example.com/api' npm run build

5. Test the build with caddy (or the server of your choice)

   curl https://webi.sh/caddy | sh
