Complete process records of the deployment of openwebui in non-docker

Preface

I have been using the docker method to deploy openwebui, but this thing was upgraded every few days. I used the docker image hard disk space to take up the docker image. I couldn't stand it. Today I changed it to direct deployment. The following is the deployment process record.

1. Stop and delete the hard disk space occupied by useless docker images

docker stop openweb-ui

docker image prune -a  #Delete unused and unreliable images

2. Start deployment

cd /data #My custom Python environment is /data/openwebui-env. Please note that this path should be replaced by your actual one.apt install python3-venv python3-full
python3 -m venv openwebui-env
source openwebui-env/bin/activate #Activate a standalone python environmentpip install open-webui

cat &gt; /usr/local/bin/ &lt;&lt; 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
export HOME=/root
cd /data/openwebui-env
source /data/openwebui-env/bin/activate
exec /data/openwebui-env/bin/open-webui serve --port 80 # Change it to the service port you want to listen toEOF


chmod +x /usr/local/bin/


cat &gt; /etc/systemd/system/ &lt;&lt; 'EOF'

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart openwebui
systemctl status openwebui

Access the service port and register the administrator account, and this is available.

The program file path is: /data/openwebui-env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/open_webui

The data file path is: /data/openwebui-env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/open_webui/data

If you upgrade later, you can execute it

source /data/openwebui-env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade open-webui
