Bug Report

Description

I have tried doing a new install of OWUI on my host with a NVIDIA GPU with a clean new install of Ubuntu and just can't get the web ui to connect to the local Ollama. I see from the forums that may people are having issues with the install.

The sad thing is that I got it running on this host before but I did not document my steps, now after several hours I still can't get it to work.

Bug Summary:
Getting Ollama server connection error.
There are no clear step by step instructions on doing a new install on a fresh Ubuntu host.

Steps to Reproduce:
Trying to follow the instructions.

Expected Behavior:
I would love to have a simple docker pull command to fully install Ollama and Ollama Web UI in one command.
I was hoping that the git clone and the single command below would do it...

Actual Behavior:
Can't get OWUI running.

Environment

Ubuntu 22.04 NVIDIA GPU

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.

Installation Method

git cloned the repo
ran:

docker build -t ollama-webui .
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ollama-webui

Also tried installing Ollama locally, and it ran fine at the CLI with GPU.

Only commands needed if you have already installed Ollama outside Docker and verified with CLI:

OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1:11434 OLLAMA_ORIGINS=* ollama serve
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434/api -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main

You might also try host networking if the above docker run command still doesn't work:

docker run -d --network=host -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434/api -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main

@justinh-rahb I would like to ask if I may hire you to help me get this installation done. I am missing something and have to get this working.

Sorry, I've got a dayjob, and this wouldn't feel right to me since the author of this project accepts sponsorships including tiers that come with support.
