How to Install 🚀

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/.

Checking Ollama

After installing, verify that Ollama is running by accessing the following link in your web browser: http://127.0.0.1:11434/. Note that the port number may differ based on your system configuration.

Accessing Ollama Web Interface over LAN

If you want to access the Ollama web interface over LAN, for example, from your phone, run Ollama using the following command:

OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 OLLAMA_ORIGINS=* ollama serve

Using Docker 🐳

docker build --build-arg OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL='http://localhost:11434/api' -t ollama-webui .

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

Your Ollama Web UI should now be hosted at http://localhost:3000. Enjoy! 😄

Connecting to Ollama on a Different Server

If Ollama is hosted on a server other than your local machine, change OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL to match:

docker build --build-arg OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL='https://example.com/api' -t ollama-webui .
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

How to Build for Static Deployment

1. Install node

   # Mac, Linux
   curl https://webi.sh/node@lts | sh

   • Build for Deploy:
     (PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL will overwrite the value in .env)
