How to Install ๐Ÿš€

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 ๐Ÿณ

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! ๐Ÿ˜„

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 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.

Warning: Backend Dependency for Proper Functionality

In order to ensure the seamless operation of our application, it is crucial to run both the backend and frontend components simultaneously. Serving only the frontend in isolation is not supported and may lead to unpredictable outcomes, rendering the application inoperable. Attempting to raise an issue when solely serving the frontend will not be addressed, as it falls outside the intended usage. To achieve optimal results, please strictly adhere to the specified steps outlined in this documentation. Utilize the frontend solely for building static files, and subsequently run the complete application with the provided backend commands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsupported configurations, and we may not be able to provide assistance in such cases. Your cooperation in following the prescribed procedures is essential for a smooth user experience and effective issue resolution.

TL;DR ๐Ÿš€

Run the following commands to install:

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! ๐Ÿ˜„

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 using npm run dev. Alternatively, you can set the PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL during the build process to have the frontend connect directly to your Ollama instance or build the frontend as static files and serve them with the backend.

Prerequisites

  1. Clone and Enter the Project:

    git clone https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui.git
    cd ollama-webui/
  2. Create and Edit .env:

    cp -RPp example.env .env

Building Ollama Web UI Frontend

  1. Install Node Dependencies:

    npm install
  2. Run in Dev Mode or Build for Deployment:

    • Dev Mode (requires the backend to be running simultaneously):

      npm run dev
    • Build for Deployment:

      # `PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` overwrites the value in `.env`
      PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL='https://example.com/api' npm run build
  3. Test the Build with Caddy (or your preferred server):

    curl https://webi.sh/caddy | sh
    
    PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL='https://localhost/api' npm run build
    caddy run --envfile .env --config ./Caddyfile.localhost

Running Ollama Web UI Backend

If you wish to run the backend for deployment, ensure that the frontend is built so that the backend can serve the frontend files along with the API route.

Setup Instructions

  1. Install Python Requirements:

    cd ./backend
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Run Python Backend:

    • Dev Mode with Hot Reloading:

      sh dev.sh
    • Deployment:

      sh start.sh

Now, you should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at http://localhost:8080/. Feel free to explore the features and functionalities of Ollama! If you encounter any issues, please refer to the instructions above or reach out to the community for assistance.
