# Open WebUI on NAS: Ollama, Storage, RAG and Remote GPU Setup

> Run Open WebUI on the NAS when you want a persistent, always-available private interface and the NAS can host containers reliably. Keep `/app/backend/data` persistent, point `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` at the actual Ollama server when inference is remote, and keep knowledge-source files on a controlled NAS share rather than mixing them with application state.
