Installing OpenAI-WebGUI Using Docker-Compose
Deploying OpenAI-WebGUI with Docker-Compose streamlines the setup process and ensures a consistent environment. Follow these steps to get started.
Step-by-Step Docker-Compose Installation
Install Docker and Docker-Compose
Create a Docker-Compose File
Create a directory for your OpenAI-WebGUI setup and navigate to it. Create a 
docker-compose.yml file with the following content:
services:
  open-webui:
    image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama 
    container_name: open-webui
#    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
#      - OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434
    ports:
      - ${HTTP_PORT}:8080
    volumes:
      - ${DOCKER}/open-webui/ollama:/root/.ollama
      - ${DOCKER}/open-webui/app:/app/backend/data
    restart: unless-stopped
Replace 
your_openai_api_key with your actual OpenAI API key.
Start OpenAI-WebGUI
Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the 
docker-compose.yml file, and run the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will pull the OpenAI-WebGUI Docker image and start the container in detached mode.
Access the OpenAI-WebGUI
Open your web browser and navigate to 
http://localhost:8080 to access the OpenAI-WebGUI interface. You can now begin exploring and managing your OpenAI models.
Basic Setup Instructions
Once OpenAI-WebGUI is up and running, follow these steps to configure and start using the platform.
Step 1: Initial Configuration
Log In: Open the OpenAI-WebGUI in your browser and log in using your credentials.
Enter API Key: Input your OpenAI API key in the configuration settings to enable model access.
Step 2: Configure Models
Select Models: Choose the OpenAI models you wish to interact with from the dashboard.
Adjust Settings: Configure model parameters such as temperature and max tokens according to your preferences.
Step 3: Send Requests and View Responses
Create Requests: Use the interface to create and send API requests to the selected OpenAI models.
Analyze Responses: View and analyze the responses returned by the models to ensure they meet your requirements.
