Installing OpenWebUI

2024-06-25

Installing OpenWebUI on macOS

First install Ollama:

• Download https://ollama.com/download for macOS
• Open the downloaded file
• Drag the Ollama icon to the Applications folder, and open it
• Follow the instructions to install ollama in the terminal

Then install OpenWebUI:

• Assuming you have Docker installed, run:

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

• Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

If the container stops working, you can restart it with:

docker restart open-webui

Then try to open http://localhost:3000 in your browser again, and it should hopefully work.
