Open WebUI Default Port Guide | Generated by AI
Question: What is the default port for Open WebUI?
Answer:
The default port for Open WebUI (the application itself) is 8080.
- When running via Docker (the most common method), the container listens on port 8080 internally.
- Typical command:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 ... - This maps host port 3000 (or any port you choose) β container port 8080.
- You access it at
http://localhost:3000(or whatever host port you mapped).
- Typical command:
- When running directly via Python/pip (
open-webui serve), it also listens on port 8080 by default.- You access it at
http://localhost:8080.
- You access it at
You can change the port using the PORT environment variable (e.g., -e PORT=9999 in Docker) or the --port flag when using the serve command.
The version shown in your message (v0.5.10) is quite old β current versions (as of 2026) still use 8080 as the default internal/container port.
