### 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
Timothy J. Baek's avatar

96

97
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.

100

101
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:
Timothy J. Baek's avatar
Timothy J. Baek committed
102
103

```bash
104
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
Timothy J. Baek's avatar
Timothy J. Baek committed
105
106
```

107
Alternatively, if you prefer to build the container yourself, use the following command:
Timothy J. Baek's avatar
Timothy J. Baek committed
108
109

```bash
110
111
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
Timothy J. Baek's avatar
Timothy J. Baek committed
112
113
```

114
Your Ollama Web UI should now be hosted at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and accessible over LAN (or Network). Enjoy! 😄

```

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 --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

## How to Install Without Docker
132

133
134
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.

135
136
137
138
**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.

139
### TL;DR 🚀

141
142
143
144
145
146

Run the following commands to install:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui.git
cd ollama-webui/

147
# Copying required .env file
148
cp -RPp example.env .env
149
150

# Building Frontend
151
152
153
npm i
npm run build

154
# Serving Frontend with the Backend
155
156
157
158
cd ./backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
sh start.sh
```
159

160
161
You should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at http://localhost:8080/. Enjoy! 😄

162
163
164
165
166
167
168
### 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:**
169
170

   ```sh
171
   git clone https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui.git
172
   cd ollama-webui/
173
174
   ```

175
2. **Create and Edit `.env`:**
176
177

   ```sh
178
   cp -RPp example.env .env
179
   ```
180

181
182
183
### Building Ollama Web UI Frontend

1. **Install Node Dependencies:**
184

185
   ```sh
186
   npm install
187
   ```
188

189
2. **Run in Dev Mode or Build for Deployment:**
190

191
   - Dev Mode (requires the backend to be running simultaneously):
192

193
194
195
     ```sh
     npm run dev
     ```
196

197
   - Build for Deployment:
198

199
     ```sh
200
     # `PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` overwrites the value in `.env`
201
202
     PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL='https://example.com/api' npm run build
     ```
203

204
3. **Test the Build with `Caddy` (or your preferred server):**
205
206
207
208
209
210
211
212

   ```sh
   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:**

   ```sh
   cd ./backend
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

2. **Run Python Backend:**

   - Dev Mode with Hot Reloading:

     ```sh
     sh dev.sh
     ```

   - Deployment:

     ```sh
     sh start.sh
     ```

Now, you should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at [http://localhost:8080/](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.
