Bug Report

webui docker images do not support relative path.

Description

for xample, i want to start webui at localhost:8080/webui/, does the image parameter support the relative path configuration?

i'm facing the same issue, i can't deploy it behind a reverse proxy under specific path only because static files doesn't have the path prefix

This can be accomplished through reverse-proxy and request rewrite rules as well.

nope, i deployed it behind a reverse proxy but static files needs to be compiled with basepath too

no, the proxy is not useful. the static files path is hard code.

Use caddy2, Caddyfile config

        rewrite /_app/* /open-webui{http.request.uri}

        handle_path /open-webui/* {
                reverse_proxy http://localhost:8080
        }

It seems browser can fetch javascript static files, but get a runtime error:

I've successfully deployed an instance behind a reverse proxy from a subdirectory using the branch attached to #1701. I wouldn't say that I am particularly happy with the way how I solved it, but perhaps this is useful to whoever decides to work on a proper implementation. 😄

The feature was critical for me. I have implemented it there:
https://github.com/lmorin-inria/open-webui/tree/feat/base-path-relocatable

The path is set dynamically when launching the container (variable). I will had a documentation if there are people asking for it.

The MR was rejected. I will keep that fork up to date from time to time with only that feature for the next few weeks at least.

I am interested @lmorin-inria!
I tried with our nginx proxy and this config where I rewrite the URL and use sub_filters to rewrite all paths:

        location /ai/ {
            rewrite ^/ai(/.*)$ /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://10.0.0.3:8080;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;

            sub_filter_types application/javascript application/json text/css text/html;
            sub_filter_once off;
            sub_filter 'href="/' 'href="/ai/';
            sub_filter 'src="/' 'src="/ai/';
            sub_filter 'action="/' 'action="/ai/';
            sub_filter 'import("/' 'import("/ai/';

            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_x_forwarded_host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $http_x_forwarded_proto;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }

It is able to rewrite most of the calls, but not all as it seems:

@lmorin-inria commented on GitHub (May 28, 2024):

You are welcome.

The container I propose does not need any rewriting. That's the point, Sveltes uses a single page design template, and does not support URL rewriting. I fix this by configuring at runtime the "path" location.

However I can see that in your configuration you try to rewrite the path. You should not probably.

=> When you launch the container, set the "ROOT_PATH" :
docker (...) -e ROOT_PATH= (...)

In you case your might use that syntax :
docker (...) -e ROOT_PATH=ai (...)

And the web server will serve the frontend pages in
http://10.0.0.3:8080/ai/app

The backend answer to
http://10.0.0.3:8080/ai/

@guidocioni commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2024):

Hey @lmorin-inria I tried to use your image but unfortunately it does not seem to work..
The login page is correctly loaded but I can already see that the /static path (not a big deal) and the /socket.io path (big deal) are not correctly passed/found

If I try to signin I get a not found error on the path https://<base_path>/<ROOT_PATH>/api/v1/auths/signin.

I feel like I'm missing something on the nginx subpath directive, and I see you haven't shared that in your issue. I'm using something like this

    location /openwebui/ {
        proxy_pass http://<internal-ip>:8080/;
        # Optional: Set headers that might be required by the backend or for compliance with CORS, etc.
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

        # Handle WebSocket upgrades if your application uses WebSockets
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

Well, I may be kinda stupid, but it was unsuccessful attempt to build image from your fork, and have access by path. If you can kindly give me a hint what Im doing wrong it will be very appreciated.
My docker-compose.yaml is bellow:

  open-webui:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    container_name: open-webui-test
    volumes:
      - open-webui-1:/app/backend/data
    ports:
      - ${OPEN_WEBUI_PORT-3001}:8080
    environment:
      ROOT_PATH: "ai"
      OLLAMA_BASE_URL: "http://192.168.0.41:11434"
    extra_hosts:
      - host.docker.internal:host-gateway
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  open-webui-1: {}```

When Im trying to access /ai , browser is pulling a bunch of js files with 304 statuses, and /ai/static/splash.png in the center of screen with status 200 .

It is a fork validated using the generation of an OCI container (i.e. Docker). You can deploy as explained in the regular documentation. It shall work. But if you want to change the PATH of the URL, set the ROOT_PATH environment variable.
Typically for Podman or Docker, that would be "-e ROOT_PATH=" in the run command line.

You can deploy as explained in the regular documentation. It shall work. But if you want to change the PATH of the URL, set the _ROOT_PATH_ environment variable. Typically for Podman or Docker, that would be "-e ROOT_PATH=" in the _run_ command line. dont need config the nginx?

Sorry, that's another issue ! I do not provide a machine/cluster configuration. By the way, I use HaProxy in a more complex cluster infrastructure that goes beyond the usage of that container.

However, many web software support path relocation as a parameter, that feature is quite common. Nothing special about that one. Many proxy configurations shall work with that container.

The feature was critical for me. I have implemented it there: https://github.com/lmorin-inria/open-webui/tree/feat/base-path-relocatable

The path is set dynamically when launching the container (variable). I will had a documentation if there are people asking for it.

The MR was rejected. I will keep that fork up to date from time to time with only that feature for the next few weeks at least.

This is an essential change for my production environment, and it works like a charm! please let's make sure this feature is integrated into the main project!

The changes required to accept the feature would also require a strong update of all svelte developers : they put absolute paths in the source code... Not something I would let one of my student do. But I also appreciate all the work shared by this great project. I cannot complain.

Can you support setting the rootpath to multiple levels?
My attempts to use the following configuration failed

ROOT_PATH=project01/job1/ai
URL: http://192.168.1.100:8080/project01/job1/ai

When she jumps to http://192.168.1.100:8080/project01/job1/ai/app
You will see a lot of following errors in developer options

Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

Indeed, it's a bug. It was supposed to work, but I reproduced it. Sorry about that.
I will try to fix it for my next update (~end of November).

I install the docker image and run it. I can see the login page and login but there is nothing shown after login. How to fix it?

@tjbck commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2024):

Relative path support is not something we intend to officially support at this time. The primary reasons are straightforward: I do not have the capacity to introduce additional complexities to the project right now, and no one has bothered to submit an atomic pull request that aligns with the contribution guidelines. On top of this, there are more pressing bug fixes and priority tasks that require attention, so I won’t be dedicating time to this feature for the foreseeable future.

While I acknowledge that relative path support might be helpful for a subset of users, it’s simply not a current priority. If this feature is important to you, I strongly encourage you to fork the project and maintain your own version. This is the beauty of open source—nothing is stopping you from taking ownership of the changes you care about.
