Open Web UIInstall

Summary

Upload a model file to the Ollama models endpoint at the specified URL index using a multipart/form-data POST request.

Inputs

• Url_idx (required) — Path parameter specifying the URL index to which the model file should be uploaded.
• File (required) — The model file to upload, sent as a binary in multipart/form-data format.
• Skip Authentication — Optional boolean to skip using authentication.

Output shape

a single response representing the upload result, typically JSON returned from the server

This operation requires the path parameter 'url_idx' and a file in the request body as multipart/form-data. Authentication is required by default unless skipped. The node expects the Open Web UI service at 'http://open-webui:8080' as base URL.

Examples

Example 1: Upload a model file to Ollama's models upload endpoint at URL index 1.

Set Url_idx to '1' and provide a local file for File input. Authentication uses the configured Open WebUI Auth credentials.
