For example, for local installation it would be `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`. For other installation commands, check the relevant parts of this README document.
## Updating to Open WebUI while keeping your data
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.
