📄 Description

Changelog Entry

Description

  • This pull request adds dedicated documentation for setting up Open WebUI with Docker in a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment. This addresses user feedback regarding the difficulty of getting started on WSL and aims to provide a clearer, more straightforward setup process for users with limited experience in this area.

Added

  • A new documentation file, WSL.md, in docs/getting-started/quick-start/tab-docker/, containing step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring Docker Desktop for WSL integration.
  • A new "WSL" tab within the "Docker" section of the Quick Start guide to make the WSL-specific instructions easily accessible.

Changed

  • Updated docs/getting-started/quick-start/index.mdx to import and render the new WSL.md content within the new tab.

Fixed

  • Addressed a significant point of user frustration by clarifying the setup process on a common development environment (WSL), which was previously not explicitly covered in the documentation.

Additional Information

  • This change was created in direct response to user feedback highlighting that the documentation was difficult to follow for those with little experience in WSL, leading to a frustrating setup experience.
