Docker Desktop

I use Docker Desktop to run Open WebUI so I can manage my local AI models with a clean browser interface instead of living in the terminal. After installing Docker and updating WSL, it’s basically a copy-paste command and you’re up on localhost.

Pros

+Makes it easy to run Open WebUI locally
+Works well with WSL on Windows for this setup
+Gives you a convenient localhost UI for switching models

Cons

-Requires a restart and WSL update step on Windows
-Can be resource-heavy on older PCs
