Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

reverse_proxy :3000
}

Actual Behavior

Why is this not supported? It's quite a common use case and shouldn't be hard to implement. Would love to have support for OpenWebUI being served under a subpath.

I would also like to have support for this. I will happily open a PR if maintainers are on board with the idea

@s-nt-s there is an existing discussion. Comment there. It is HARD to implement, in fact, extremely hard and requires a lot of testing. CC @muety
