# OpenWebUI with Data Synchronization
A self-hosted OpenWebUI instance with automated data backup and synchronization to GitHub.
## Features
- πŸ€– **Full OpenWebUI**: Chat interface for AI models
- πŸ”„ **Auto Sync**: Backs up `webui.db`, `uploads/`, `vector_db/` to GitHub
- πŸ›‘οΈ **Safe Backups**: SQLite hot backups prevent corruption
- πŸ“¦ **Git LFS**: Handles large files in uploads/vector_db
- ⏰ **Configurable**: Custom sync intervals and timezone
- 🌐 **WebDAV Support**: Optional secondary backup location
## Environment Variables
Set these in your Space's **Repository Secrets**:
### Required
| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `G_NAME` | GitHub repo | `username/openwebui-db` |
| `G_TOKEN` | GitHub PAT | `github_pat_xxx...` |
### Optional
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `SYNC_INTERVAL` | Sync frequency (seconds) | `3600` |
| `SYNC_TIMEZONE` | Timezone for logs | `Asia/Kolkata` |
| `GIT_USER_NAME` | Commit author | `AutoSync Bot` |
| `GIT_USER_EMAIL` | Commit email | `autosync@bot.com` |
| `WEBDAV_URL` | WebDAV server URL | - |

## GitHub Token Setup
1. Go to [GitHub Token Settings](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
2. Create a **Fine-grained token**
3. Select your backup repository
4. Grant **Contents**: Read and Write
## Setup
1. Create a private GitHub repository for backups
2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token
3. Add `G_NAME` and `G_TOKEN` to Space secrets
4. Deploy and enjoy persistent storage!
## How It Works
1. **Startup**: Clones your GitHub repo and restores data
2. **Runtime**: Syncs every `SYNC_INTERVAL` seconds
3. **Backup**: Creates SQLite hot backup, syncs uploads/vector_db
4. **Push**: Commits and pushes changes to GitHub
5. **WebDAV**: Optionally uploads timestamped backup to WebDAV
