As my user name suggests, I am not a developer. But I did manage to solve this.

Insert before line 34:

ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096

Then make sure docker has at least 8 GB memory available to it.

docker build . ran perfectly to build the image.

To run the image, I ran the following command (modified from what is in the README file)

docker run -d --network=host -v open-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434 --name open-webui --restart always open-webui:latest

Hope this helps (don't know how to submit to the codebase, sorry).
