deepseek DeepSeek

DeepSeek is a self-hosted AI. This instance actually uses Open WebUI installed with Ollama that pulls the DeepSeek model.

🛠 Installation

Default Port: 8080

homelab/docker/deepseek

task up

docker compose up

âš™ Config

If you'd like Open AI, create an account and create an API key.

  open-webui:
    image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:git-b03fc97-ollama

      - ollama:/root/.ollama
      - open-webui:/app/backend/data

Once Open WebUI is up and running, run the following command to pull the DeepSeek model.

task deepseek

docker exec -it deepseek bash -c "ollama pull deepseek-r1:1.5b"

Tip

The above command pulls the 1.5b tag. Other tags may be used.

The model may be installed via the web UI, but is a bit more involved and beyond the scope of this page.
