I just wanted to say thank you for creating this, this is great. There are so many variables for folks who are also installing this but a little bit of research and it is working great. For others out there, my configuration may be unique though as I am not using docker at all.

One suggestion for others is to mix in the current InfluxDB2 directions on their site with the directions for installing this. Its impossible for you to take into account everyone’s setup but I found that helpful.

Also, I found opening up the AI sidebar in firefox and using whichever model or system you prefer extremely helpful. Then clipping screenshots and pasting in the chat also helped.

You can also run OpenWebUI in the sidebar, which is one of the features I really like but just found out about. However, you are tied to the last training cutoff for your model.

My setup is spread across two Ubuntu 24 PC’s:

1. Main AI Server – Ollama, Openwebui (uv venv), Cuda 13 with a 3090, 5070 ti and then another 5070 ti via m.2 to Occulink. Everything is over 10Gbps internally and outside of having the full RAG pipeline enabled, it runs quick.

2. Backend Server – Ollama (for embedding, re-ranking, and Docling), Docling for OCR in the OpenWebUI RAG setup, postgresql (pgvector), Grafana, InfluxDB, Loki, etc. Then Cuda 13 again with a 5080 (for ComfyUI) and a 5060 ti for Docling, embedding, etc. This server also holds Caddy for TLS Internal certs for everything from Openwebui to Grafana.

We work with what we can afford and obtain, so if you think its frankensteined, you would be right but it works.

I am on 0.6.34 of OpenWebUI and InfluxDB2, latest version of Grafana. I made a couple changes to the script for my specific setup and also the dashboards and datasource names because of how I had Influx setup. But it works great. If find anything related to the others comments above, I will see if they had similar issues I had to work through.

From one Director of Product Management (former) to another, I truly appreciate you putting the work in like this on these opensource projects.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to launch, research has shown problems with api requests in this version.
Could you please update the script to the current version and describe the instructions in more detail, because I really like your dashboard, the lgtm stack also does not provide information, I am completely lost. It will be great if you find the time and adapt it to the latest version. Thank you for your contribution!

In reply to Htoo Myat Aung. There is no cost on local models, nor on the Open WebUI JSON

In reply to Fai. Hello Fai, I need to check, I though the API showed all the conversations no matter the user, give me some time please.

I deployed Open WebUI for my company teammates, so it is multi-user environment, even I use the initial user (admin role) to run the script, it seems unable to get statistics for other users, is it possible to get statistics for all users?

In reply to MG. That is odd, it is working nicely without docker, did you manage to make it work?

I am running Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana in Docker and executing the script natively in Ubuntu 24.04.2.

I get the following error when I import the dashboard into Grafana : “invalid: error @1:14-1:15: undefined identifier v”

I am using “rev1” of the dashboard and I replaced telegraf with the name of the bucket (openwebui) I created in InfluxDB.

Thanks
