The Open WebUI Ecosystem 🌐
Open WebUI is the core, surrounded by companion apps and infrastructure that extend what your AI can do, where it can reach, and how you run it:
-
💻 Open WebUI Computer (open-webui/computer): A standalone, mobile-first computer and coding agent that runs on the machine you own. Files, terminal, and git in a browser tab, reachable from your phone. Connect it into Open WebUI as a model, or reach it from Telegram, WhatsApp, and more.
-
⚡ Open Terminal and Terminals (Enterprise) (open-webui/open-terminal & open-webui/terminals): A self-hosted computing environment that plugs into Open WebUI, giving the AI a place to write code, run it, read output, fix errors, and iterate inside the chat. Terminals gives you per-user isolated containers with separate credentials, resource limits, and network rules. Automatic lifecycle management on Docker or Kubernetes.
-
🔄 oikb (open-webui/oikb): Feed your Knowledge Bases from 45+ sources (GitHub, Confluence, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Jira, Slack, SharePoint, Notion, and more), keeping the tools your team already uses continuously in sync.
-
🖥️ Native Desktop App (open-webui/desktop): Run Open WebUI as a native app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. System-wide Spotlight chat bar with screenshot capture, push-to-talk voice, and optional fully-local inference via a built-in llama.cpp engine.

How to Install 🚀
Installation via Python pip 🐍
Open WebUI can be installed using pip, the Python package installer. Before proceeding, ensure you're using Python 3.11 to avoid compatibility issues.
-
Install Open WebUI: Open your terminal and run the following command to install Open WebUI:
pip install open-webui -
Running Open WebUI: After installation, you can start Open WebUI by executing:
open-webui serve
This will start the Open WebUI server, which you can access at http://localhost:8080
Quick Start with Docker 🐳
Note
Please note that for certain Docker environments, additional configurations might be needed. If you encounter any connection issues, our detailed guide on Open WebUI Documentation is ready to assist you.
Warning
When using Docker to install Open WebUI, make sure to include the
-v open-webui:/app/backend/datain your Docker command. This step is crucial as it ensures your database is properly mounted and prevents any loss of data.
Tip
If you wish to utilize Open WebUI with Ollama included or CUDA acceleration, we recommend utilizing our official images tagged with either
:cudaor:ollama. To enable CUDA, you must install the Nvidia CUDA container toolkit on your Linux/WSL system.
Installation with Default Configuration
-
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 -
If Ollama is on a Different Server, use this command:
To connect to Ollama on another server, change the
OLLAMA_BASE_URLto the server's URL:docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=https://example.com -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main -
To run Open WebUI with Nvidia GPU support, use this command:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --gpus all --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:cuda
Installation for OpenAI API Usage Only
-
If you're only using OpenAI API, use this command:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_secret_key -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
Installing Open WebUI with Bundled Ollama Support
This installation method uses a single container image that bundles Open WebUI with Ollama, allowing for a streamlined setup via a single command. Choose the appropriate command based on your hardware setup:
-
With GPU Support: Utilize GPU resources by running the following command:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama -
For CPU Only: If you're not using a GPU, use this command instead:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v ollama:/root/.ollama -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama
Both commands facilitate a built-in, hassle-free installation of both Open WebUI and Ollama, ensuring that you can get everything up and running swiftly.
After installation, you can access Open WebUI at http://localhost:3000. Enjoy! 😄
Other Installation Methods
We offer various installation alternatives, including non-Docker native installation methods, Docker Compose, Kustomize, and Helm. Visit our Open WebUI Documentation or join our Discord community for comprehensive guidance.
Troubleshooting
Encountering connection issues? Our Open WebUI Documentation has got you covered. For further assistance and to join our vibrant community, visit the Open WebUI Discord.
Open WebUI: Server Connection Error
If you're experiencing connection issues, it’s often due to the WebUI docker container not being able to reach the Ollama server at 127.0.0.1:11434 (host.docker.internal:11434) inside the container . Use the --network=host flag in your docker command to resolve this. Note that the port changes from 3000 to 8080, resulting in the link: http://localhost:8080.
Example Docker Command:
docker run -d --network=host -v open-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434 --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
Keeping Your Docker Installation Up-to-Date
Check our Updating Guide available in our Open WebUI Documentation.
Using the Dev Branch 🌙
Warning
The
:devbranch contains the latest unstable features and changes. Use it at your own risk as it may have bugs or incomplete features.
If you want to try out the latest bleeding-edge features and are okay with occasional instability, you can use the :dev tag like this:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:dev
Offline Mode
If you are running Open WebUI in an offline environment, you can set the HF_HUB_OFFLINE environment variable to 1 to prevent attempts to download models from the internet.
export HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1
