Helm Setup for Kubernetes

Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster is set up.
• Helm is installed.

Helm Steps

1. Add Open WebUI Helm Repository:

   helm repo add open-webui https://open-webui.github.io/helm-charts
   helm repo update
   

2. Install Open WebUI Chart:

   helm install openwebui open-webui/open-webui
   

3. Verify Installation:

   kubectl get pods
   

:::warning

If you intend to scale Open WebUI using multiple nodes/pods/workers in a clustered environment, you need to setup a NoSQL key-value database. There are some environment variables that need to be set to the same value for all service-instances, otherwise consistency problems, faulty sessions and other issues will occur!

:::

Access the WebUI

Set up port forwarding or load balancing to access Open WebUI from outside the cluster.
