⚡ Quick Start (30 seconds)

Step 1: Prepare Your API Key

cd scripts

# Get your OpenWebUI API key:
# 1. Open OpenWebUI → User menu → Settings
# 2. Find the "API Keys" section
# 3. Copy your key (starts with sk-)

# Create .env file
cat > .env <<'EOF'
api_key=sk-your-key-here
url=http://localhost:3000
EOF

Step 2a: Install All Plugins (Recommended)

python install_all_plugins.py

Step 2b: Or Deploy Individual Plugins

# Easiest way - dedicated script
python deploy_async_context_compression.py

# Or use generic script
python deploy_filter.py

# Or specify plugin name
python deploy_filter.py async-context-compression

# Or deploy a Tool
python deploy_tool.py

📋 Deployment Tools Detailed

1️⃣ `deploy_async_context_compression.py` — Dedicated Deployment Script

The simplest way to deploy!

cd scripts
python deploy_async_context_compression.py

Features:

✅ Optimized specifically for async_context_compression
✅ Clear deployment steps and confirmation
✅ Friendly error messages
✅ Shows next steps after successful deployment

Sample Output:

======================================================================
🚀 Deploying Async Context Compression Filter Plugin
======================================================================

📦 Deploying filter 'Async Context Compression' (version 1.3.0)...
   File: /path/to/async_context_compression.py
✅ Successfully updated 'Async Context Compression' filter!

======================================================================
✅ Deployment successful!
======================================================================

Next steps:
  1. Open OpenWebUI in your browser: http://localhost:3000
  2. Go to Settings → Filters
  3. Enable 'Async Context Compression'
  4. Configure Valves as needed
  5. Start using the filter in conversations

2️⃣ `deploy_filter.py` — Generic Filter Deployment Tool

Supports all Filter plugins!

# Deploy default async_context_compression
python deploy_filter.py

# Deploy other Filters
python deploy_filter.py folder-memory
python deploy_filter.py context_enhancement_filter

# List all available Filters
python deploy_filter.py --list

Features:

✅ Generic Filter deployment tool
✅ Supports multiple plugins
✅ Auto metadata extraction
✅ Smart update/create logic
✅ Complete error diagnostics

3️⃣ `deploy_pipe.py` — Pipe Deployment Tool

python deploy_pipe.py

Used to deploy Pipe-type plugins (like GitHub Copilot SDK).

3️⃣+ `deploy_tool.py` — Tool Deployment Tool

# Deploy default Tool
python deploy_tool.py

# Or specify a specific Tool
python deploy_tool.py openwebui-skills-manager

Features:

✅ Supports Tools plugin deployment
✅ Auto-detects Tools class definition
✅ Smart update/create logic
✅ Complete error diagnostics

Use Case: Deploy or reinstall a specific Tool individually, or deploy only Tools without running full batch installation. The script now calls OpenWebUI's native /api/v1/tools/* endpoints.

4️⃣ `install_all_plugins.py` — Batch Installation Script

One-command installation of all repository plugins that meet these criteria:

Located in plugins/actions, plugins/filters, plugins/pipes, plugins/tools
Plugin header contains openwebui_id
Filename is not in Chinese characters
Filename does not end with _cn.py

# Check which plugins will be installed
python install_all_plugins.py --list

# Dry-run without calling API
python install_all_plugins.py --dry-run

# Actually install all supported types (including Action/Filter/Pipe/Tool)
python install_all_plugins.py

# Install only specific types
python install_all_plugins.py --types pipe action

The script prioritizes updating existing plugins and automatically creates new ones.

Tool Integration: Tool-type plugins now automatically use OpenWebUI's native /api/v1/tools/create and /api/v1/tools/id/{id}/update endpoints, no longer reusing the functions endpoint.

🔧 How It Works

Your code changes
    ↓
Run deployment script
    ↓
Script reads the corresponding plugin file
    ↓
Auto-extracts metadata from code (title, version, author, etc.)
    ↓
Builds API request
    ↓
Sends to local OpenWebUI
    ↓
OpenWebUI updates or creates plugin
    ↓
Takes effect immediately! (no restart needed)

🎯 Common Use Cases

Scenario 1: Deploy After Feature Development

# 1. Modify code
vim ../plugins/filters/async-context-compression/async_context_compression.py

# 2. Update version number (optional)
# version: 1.3.0 → 1.3.1

# 3. Deploy
python deploy_async_context_compression.py

# 4. Test in OpenWebUI
# → No restart needed, takes effect immediately!

# 5. Continue development and repeat

Scenario 2: Fix Bug and Verify Quickly

# 1. Find and fix bug
vim ../plugins/filters/async-context-compression/async_context_compression.py

# 2. Quick deploy to verify
python deploy_async_context_compression.py

# 3. Test bug fix in OpenWebUI
# One-command deploy, instant feedback!

Scenario 3: Deploy Multiple Filters

# Deploy all Filters that need updates
python deploy_filter.py async-context-compression
python deploy_filter.py folder-memory
python deploy_filter.py context_enhancement_filter

🔐 Security Tips

Manage API Keys

# 1. Create .env (local only)
echo "api_key=sk-your-key" > .env

# 2. Add to .gitignore (prevent commit)
echo "scripts/.env" >> ../.gitignore

# 3. Verify it won't be committed
git status  # should not show .env

# 4. Rotate keys regularly
# → Generate new key in OpenWebUI Settings
# → Update .env file

✅ Security Checklist

.env file is in .gitignore
Never hardcode API keys in code
Rotate API keys periodically
Use only on trusted networks
Use CI/CD secret management in production

❌ Troubleshooting

Issue 1: "Connection error"

❌ Connection error: Could not reach OpenWebUI at localhost:3000
   Make sure OpenWebUI is running and accessible.

Solution:

# 1. Check if OpenWebUI is running
curl http://localhost:3000

# 2. If port is different, edit URL in script
# Default: http://localhost:3000
# Location: "localhost:3000" in deploy_filter.py

# 3. Check firewall settings

Issue 2: ".env file not found"

❌ [ERROR] .env file not found at .env
   Please create it with: api_key=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Solution:

echo "api_key=sk-your-api-key" > .env
cat .env  # verify file created

Issue 3: "Filter not found"

❌ [ERROR] Filter 'xxx' not found in .../plugins/filters

Solution:

# List all available Filters
python deploy_filter.py --list

# Retry with correct name
python deploy_filter.py async-context-compression

Issue 4: "Status 401" (Unauthorized)

❌ Failed to update or create. Status: 401
   Error: {"error": "Unauthorized"}

Solution:

# 1. Verify API key is correct
grep "api_key=" .env

# 2. Check if key is still valid in OpenWebUI
# Settings → API Keys → Check

# 3. Generate new key and update .env
echo "api_key=sk-new-key" > .env
