Allow other on your network to use this:

Script that can be run each time you want to start the Web UI:

#!/bin/sh

# Navigate to the home directory, or the directory where your virtual environment is
cd ~/myenv || exit # If this fails, exit the script

# Activate the virtual environment
if [ -f "bin/activate" ]; then
. bin/activate # Use '.' (dot) instead of 'source' in sh
else
echo "Virtual environment not found. Exiting."
exit 1
fi

# Run open-webui
open-webui serve

# Notify user the server is up
echo "Activated, open at http://localhost:8080"

Retraining vs RAV vs Contract: Your Local Data on LLMs!

The commands were updates as the old ones didn’t work.

If you want to run Ollama in a terminal window, use the following command.

$ ollama run model

Example:
$ ollama run mistral

[thumbtak]

If you get this error message, running the following command …
$ python3.11 -m venv myenv

$ python3.11 -m venv myenv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

apt install python3.11-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/home/user/myenv/bin/python3.11', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

 

Do the following …

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install -f
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo apt install python3.11

After this, you may have to delete your environment or rename it for backing it up. The data should be saved, minus the webui settings, and all the chats. Keep this in mind.  After you delete the environment (or rename) folder, you go back and reinstall the webui.

Note: Some of the install will fail as your models will be already setup. You can remove it to restart fresh, or leave it the same. This is your choice.
