====== Setting up OpenWebUI and Ollama using Docker ======
 
===== Prerequisites =====

1. A system with Docker installed

===== Step 1: Install Ollama =====


1. Open a terminal window.

2. Run the following command to install Ollama:
   curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

3. Verify the installation by running:
   ollama --version

===== Step 2: Pull a Language Model =====

Pull a language model (e.g., Llama 3) using Ollama:
   ollama pull llama3

===== Step 4: Set Up OpenWebUI =====

1. Open a new terminal window.

2. Run the OpenWebUI Docker container:
   docker run -d --name openwebui \
     -p 3000:8080 \
     -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434/api \
     --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
     ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

This command does the following:

1. Runs the container in detached mode (`-d`)

2. Names the container "openwebui" (`--name openwebui`)

3. Maps port 3000 on the host to port 8080 in the container (`-p 3000:8080`)

4. Sets the Ollama API base URL environment variable (`-e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=...`)

5. Adds a host entry to allow the container to communicate with the host machine (`--add-host ...`)

6. Uses the OpenWebUI Docker image (`ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main`)

===== Step 5: Access OpenWebUI =====

1. Open a web browser and navigate to:
   http://localhost:3000

===== Step 6: Configure OpenWebUI =====

1. In the OpenWebUI interface, first create an account.

2. Login to the account created.

===== Step 7: Test the Setup =====

1. Start a new chat in OpenWebUI.

2. Select the language model you pulled earlier (e.g., Llama 3).

3. Send a test message to verify that everything is working correctly.

==== Additional Docker Commands ====

- To stop the OpenWebUI container:
  docker stop openwebui

- To start the OpenWebUI container again:
  docker start openwebui

- To remove the OpenWebUI container:
  docker rm openwebui
