Step 1: Install Docker

Before we begin, make sure you have Docker installed on your system. If not, download and install it from the official website.

Installing Docker on Windows 11

If you haven’t already, follow these steps to install Docker:

  • Download the Docker installation package from the official website
  • Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation
  • Once installed, open a power shell or command prompt. Then verify that Docker is working correctly by running
docker --version

Step 2: Pull and Run the Open Web UI Image

Open a windows power shell or command prompt. Then run the following command to pull and run the `Ollama` specialized Open Web UI image as daemon:

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:ollama

Step 4: Access Open Web UI

Open a web browser and navigate to

http://localhost:3000 (or http://your-local-ip:3000)

to access the Open Web UI dashboard. You’ll be prompted to set up an admin account. Which you can use to explore the features and functionality of the framework.

That’s it! With these simple steps, you should now have Open Web UI installed. And works with your Ollama pre-installed Windows 11 computer using Docker.
