psauxw/ollama-webui

All-in-one Docker image combining Ollama and Open WebUI in a single container, with automatic Ollama updates on every boot.

What's included

• 🦙 Ollama — run large language models locally
• 🌐 https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui — ***-like web interface
• 🔄 Auto-updates Ollama to the latest version on every container start
• 🎮 NVIDIA GPU support via the NVIDIA Container Toolkit

Requirements

• Docker + Docker Compose
• NVIDIA GPU + NVIDIA Container Toolkit (for GPU acceleration)

Quick Start

bash
docker run -d \
  --gpus all \
  -p 3000:8080 \
  -v ollama:/root/.ollama \
  -v open-webui:/app/backend/data \
  --name open-webui \
  --restart always \
  psauxw/ollama-webui:latest

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

yaml
services:
  open-webui:
    image: psauxw/ollama-webui:latest
    container_name: open-webui
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3000:8080
    volumes:
      - ollama:/root/.ollama
      - open-webui:/app/backend/data
    extra_hosts:
      - host.docker.internal:host-gateway
    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              count: all
              capabilities:
                - gpu

volumes:
  ollama:
  open-webui:

Then run:

bash
docker compose up -d

Connecting other containers

If you have other containers (e.g. a *** bot) that need to reach Open WebUI internally, put them on a shared network:

yaml
services:
  open-webui:
    image: psauxw/ollama-webui:latest
    container_name: open-webui
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3000:8080
    volumes:
      - ollama:/root/.ollama
      - open-webui:/app/backend/data
    extra_hosts:
      - host.docker.internal:host-gateway
    networks:
      - shared-net
    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              count: all
              capabilities:
                - gpu

volumes:
  ollama:
  open-webui:

networks:
  shared-net:
    external: true

Create the network first:

bash
docker network create shared-net

Other containers on shared-net can then reach Open WebUI at http://open-webui:8080.

Persistent Storage

Both volumes persist across container restarts and image updates. To upgrade to a newer image without losing data:

bash
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Ports

To also expose the Ollama API to your host, add 11434:11434 under ports.

Environment Variables

Updating

The container automatically pulls and installs the latest Ollama binary every time it starts. To update Open WebUI, pull the latest image:

bash
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
