Fast-Start Recipes (Unraid)

You can paste these into Compose Manager.

These are optional for beginners who want a single file they can reason about. If you prefer CA templates, you can skip this section and get the same results.

Ollama + Open WebUI (GPU-agnostic baseline)

services:
  ollama:
    image: ollama/ollama:latest
    container_name: ollama
    ports: ["11434:11434"]
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/ollama:/root/.ollama

    # For NVIDIA, uncomment the next line:


    # deploy: { resources: { reservations: { devices: [ { capabilities: ["gpu"] } ] } } }


    # Or add `--gpus all` in Unraid's Extra Parameters

    restart: unless-stopped
  open-webui:
    image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
    container_name: open-webui
    environment:
      - OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://ollama:11434
    ports: ["3000:8080"]
    depends_on: [ollama]
    restart: unless-stopped

(Adjust GPU settings per the NVIDIA or Intel-GPU-TOP plugins.) (Ollama, Open WebUI)

n8n + Qdrant

services:
  qdrant:
    image: qdrant/qdrant:latest
    container_name: qdrant
    ports: ["6333:6333"]
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/qdrant:/qdrant/storage
    restart: unless-stopped
  n8n:
    image: n8nio/n8n:latest
    container_name: n8n
    ports: ["5678:5678"]
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/n8n:/home/node/.n8n
    environment:
      - N8N_HOST=n8n.local
      - N8N_PORT=5678
    restart: unless-stopped

Use an HTTP Request node in n8n to call http://ollama:11434/api/generate and store embeddings in Qdrant. (n8n Docs, qdrant.tech)

Everything on Shared Sapience is free and open to all. However, it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to keep these resources and guides up to date and useful for everyone.

If enough of my amazing readers could help with just a few dollars a month, I could dedicate myself full-time to helping Seekers, Builders, and Protectors collaborate better with AI and work toward a better future.

Even if you can’t support financially, becoming a free subscriber is a huge help in advancing the mission of Shared Sapience.
