Trouble locating llama3.2:latest model in Open WebUI on Ubuntu


Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble with my Open WebUI setup on Ubuntu. I’ve successfully loaded the llama3.2:latest model in the WebUI interface, and it appears functional there. However, I can’t seem to locate where the model files are stored on my system.

I’ve checked the following paths but haven’t found anything:

  • /home/docker-storage/volumes/open-webui/_data/cache
  • /home/docker-storage/volumes/open-webui/_data/models

Does anyone know where Open WebUI typically saves the model files when using dynamic or local loading?
I’m new to this, so any guidance would be much appreciated. :blush:

Thank you in advance for your help!

Did you download the model through Ollama? If so they are not stored on the docker volume rather on Ollama side:

macOS: ~/.ollama/models.
Linux: /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models.
Windows: C:\Users.ollama\models.
