## Quick Start with Docker 🐳
### Installation with Default Configuration
- **If Ollama is on your computer**, use this command:
```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
```
- **To run Open WebUI with Nvidia GPU support**, use this command:
```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --gpus all --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:cuda
```
### Installing Open WebUI with Bundled Ollama Support
This installation method uses a single container image that bundles Open WebUI with Ollama, allowing for a streamlined setup via a single command. Choose the appropriate command based on your hardware setup:
- **With GPU Support**:
Utilize GPU resources by running the following command:
```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama
```
- **For CPU Only**:
If you're not using a GPU, use this command instead:
```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v ollama:/root/.ollama -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama
```
Both commands facilitate a built-in, hassle-free installation of both Open WebUI and Ollama, ensuring that you can get everything up and running swiftly.
After installation, you can access Open WebUI at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). Enjoy! 😄
### Using the Dev Branch 🌙
:::warning
The `:dev` branch contains the latest unstable features and changes. Use it at your own risk as it may have bugs or incomplete features.
:::
If you want to try out the latest bleeding-edge features and are okay with occasional instability, you can use the `:dev` tag like this:
```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:dev
```
## Manual Installation
### Installation with `pip` (Beta)
For users who prefer to use Python's package manager `pip`, Open WebUI offers a installation method. Python 3.11 is required for this method.
1. **Install Open WebUI**:
Open your terminal and run the following command:
```bash
pip install open-webui
```
2. **Start Open WebUI**:
Once installed, start the server using:
```bash
open-webui serve
```
This method installs all necessary dependencies and starts Open WebUI, allowing for a simple and efficient setup. After installation, you can access Open WebUI at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080). Enjoy! 😄
## Other Installation Methods
We offer various installation alternatives, including non-Docker native installation methods, Docker Compose, Kustomize, and Helm. Visit our [Open WebUI Documentation](https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/) or join our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/5rJgQTnV4s) for comprehensive guidance.
## Updating
Check out how to update Docker in the [Quick Start guide](./getting-started/quick-start).
In case you want to update your local Docker installation to the latest version, you can do it with [Watchtower](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/):
```bash
docker run --rm --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --run-once open-webui
```
In the last part of the command, replace `open-webui` with your container name if it is different.
