Kustomize Setup for Kubernetes

Kustomize allows you to customize Kubernetes YAML configurations.

Prerequisites

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

Steps

1. Clone the Open WebUI Manifests:

   git clone https://github.com/open-webui/k8s-manifests.git
   cd k8s-manifests
   

2. Apply the Manifests:

   kubectl apply -k .
   

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.
