How to Upgrade Open WebUI

The “DeepSeek & Llama powered All-in-One LLM Suite” solution provided by techlatest.net comes with an Open WebUI chat interface running in a container. This section describes how to upgrade existing Open WebUI chat interface to the latest version.

Note: Please check our Getting Started Guide pages to learn how to deploy and connect to the ‘DeepSeek & Llama-powered All-in-One LLM Suite’ solution via terminal, as well as how to access the Open WebUI interface. Alternatively, check the GPU-supported DeepSeek & Llama-powered All-in-One LLM Suite if you are using a GPU-based alternative of the same offer.

  1. Let’s check the Open WebUI version first. To do so , login to Open WebUI, navigate to Settings then About tab. Here you can see the existing version of open webui and the available latest release.

2.To upgrade to the latest release, connect via terminal and check the running Container using -

sudo docker ps -a

Here the name of the container is “open-webui”. Remove the container by entering below commands -

/img/azure/multi-llm-vm/running-container.png

sudo docker stop open-webui

sudo docker rm open-webui

  1. Check the docker image and delete it.
sudo docker images

sudo docker rmi ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

/img/azure/multi-llm-vm/delete-docker-image.png

  1. We will not remove the volume attached to this container to persist our old data. To check the volume run
sudo docker volume ls

/img/azure/multi-llm-vm/check-volume.png

Here we have open-webui volume. If you want to remove the volume as well and start a fresh copy of Open WebUI then run

sudo docker volume rm open-webui
  1. Now pull the latest Open WebUI image.
sudo docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

/img/azure/multi-llm-vm/pull-image.png

  1. Once the images is pulled successfully, start the docker container using below command.
sudo docker run -d -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --network host -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434   --restart always --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Note: If you are on GPU based instance, then please run below docker run command to launch the container.

sudo docker run -d --gpus all -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --network host -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434   --restart always --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

/img/azure/multi-llm-vm/docker-run.png

  1. Wait for few seconds to start the container completely and then access the Open WebUI in your browser using https://public_ip_of_the_vm . If you have deleted the volume then it will ask you to create/register admin user. If you have continued with the old volume, then you can login here with your old credentials.
