📚 oikb

Keep your Open WebUI Knowledge Bases in sync. Point it at a local directory, a GitHub repo, a Confluence space, an S3 bucket, or any of 44 supported sources. Only new and modified files are uploaded via incremental SHA-256 diffing.

Important

Requires Open WebUI 0.9.6+

Quick Start

pip install oikb

export OPEN_WEBUI_URL=http://localhost:3000
export OPEN_WEBUI_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key

# Sync a directory to a Knowledge Base
oikb sync ./docs --kb-id your-kb-id

# Or watch for changes and auto-sync continuously
oikb watch ./docs --kb-id your-kb-id

Commands

Command	Description
oikb sync <source>	Incremental sync to a Knowledge Base
oikb watch <dir>	Watch for changes and auto-sync
oikb daemon	Long-lived scheduler with HTTP API
oikb diff <source>	Preview what a sync would do
oikb history	View sync history
oikb ls	List files in a Knowledge Base
oikb status	Show KB info and file count
oikb reset	Delete all files in a Knowledge Base
oikb config	Manage saved URL and API key

Daemon

Run oikb daemon for production deployments. Reads .oikb.yaml and syncs each source on a schedule.

oikb daemon --port 8080

Features:

• Scheduled sync — configurable per-source intervals (30m, 1h, 6h)
• Webhooks — instant sync on push via /webhooks/github, /webhooks/gitlab, /webhooks/slack, /webhooks/confluence
• Health checks — GET /health for Docker/K8s readiness probes
• Sync history — GET /history queryable log of all syncs
• On-demand sync — POST /sync/{source} to trigger immediately
• OpenAPI tool server — add http://oikb:8080 as a Tool Server in Open WebUI (Settings → Connections) and let the LLM trigger syncs, check status, and query history

# .oikb.yaml
sources:
  - source: github:owner/repo
    kb-id: team-wiki
    interval: 1h
    webhook: true

  - source: confluence:ENG
    kb-id: handbook
    interval: 6h

Docker Compose

oikb sync github:owner/repo --kb-id your-kb-id
oikb sync confluence:ENG --kb-id your-kb-id
oikb sync s3://bucket/prefix --kb-id your-kb-id
oikb sync servicenow:incident --kb-id your-kb-id

Some connectors need an optional extra: pip install oikb[gdrive], pip install oikb[s3], or pip install oikb[all] for everything.

Multi-KB Routing

Route files from a single source to different Knowledge Bases by glob pattern:

sources:
  - source: github:owner/repo
    routes:
      "docs/**/*.md": docs-kb
      "src/**": code-kb

Selective Sync Filters

Narrow what gets synced with include/exclude globs:

sources:
  - source: github:owner/repo
    kb-id: docs-only
    filter:
      include: ["docs/**/*.md", "*.txt"]
      exclude: ["drafts/**"]

Configuration

Resolved in order (highest priority wins):

1. CLI flags (--url, --token)
2. Environment variables (OPEN_WEBUI_URL, OPEN_WEBUI_API_KEY)
3. Config file (~/.config/oikb/config.yaml)

History

oikb history                    # Table view
oikb history --json             # JSON output
oikb history --errors           # Failed syncs only
oikb history --clear --days 7   # Prune old entries

GitHub Actions

- name: Sync docs to Open WebUI
  uses: docker://ghcr.io/open-webui/oikb:latest
  with:
    args: sync /github/workspace/docs --kb-id ${{ secrets.KB_ID }}
  env:
    OPEN_WEBUI_URL: ${{ secrets.OPEN_WEBUI_URL }}
    OPEN_WEBUI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPEN_WEBUI_API_KEY }}

How It Works

1. Scan source, compute checksums
2. Send manifest to Open WebUI /sync/diff
3. Delete stale files, create missing directories
4. Upload only new and modified files
