I decided to ditch docker and just install using uv based on the OWUI docs instructions. This was how I installed:
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest serve --port 4444

The installation works flawlessly, a lot fewer bugs, faster, I'm so glad I ditched Docker. But where are the actual folders and files stored on my Mac? I installed from my /Users/josh/ folder, but I can't locate like for example, I want to edit:

backend/open_webui/routers/audio.py

But I can't even find the "backend" folder anywhere. I asked my AI, Perplexity, and Googled myself for hours, I can't find an answer. Where does uv put the files?

OWUI v0.5.16
Apple M1 Max 64gb
Sequoia 15.3.1
