 If you want to update to the new image migrating all your previous settings like conversations, prompts, documents, etc. you can perform the following steps:

+### Coming from a local Git repository
+
+If you came from a git installation where you used `docker compose up` in the project directory, your volumes will be prefixed with the folder name.
+Therefore, if your OpenWebUI path was: `/home/myserver/ollama-webui/`, the volumes would be named "ollama-webui_open-webui" and "ollama-webui_ollama".
+
+To copy the contents over to a conventional docker installation, you may run similar migration commands. In our particular case, the commands would be:
+```bash
+docker rm -f open-webui
+docker rm -f ollama
+docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
+docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama
+docker volume create --name open-webui
+docker volume create --name ollama
+docker run --rm -v ollama-webui_open-webui:/from -v open-webui:/to alpine ash -c "cd /from ; cp -av . /to"
+docker run --rm -v ollama-webui_ollama:/from -v ollama:/to alpine ash -c "cd /from ; cp -av . /to"
+```
+
+Depending on whether you had ollama installed, or already had the same volume names in place, some of the commands **might throw errors**, but they can usually be safely ignored since we're overwriting.
+
+Then, start both containers as usual, as described in the Getting started guide. 
+
+Once you verify that all the data has been migrated you can erase the old volume using the command `docker volume rm` mentioned above.
