Bug Report

Important Notes

  • Before submitting a bug report: Please check the Issues or Discussions section to see if a similar issue or feature request has already been posted. It's likely we're already tracking it! If you’re unsure, start a discussion post first. This will help us efficiently focus on improving the project.

  • Collaborate respectfully: We value a constructive attitude, so please be mindful of your communication. If negativity is part of your approach, our capacity to engage may be limited. We’re here to help if you’re open to learning and communicating positively. Remember, Open WebUI is a volunteer-driven project managed by a single maintainer and supported by contributors who also have full-time jobs. We appreciate your time and ask that you respect ours.

  • Contributing: If you encounter an issue, we highly encourage you to submit a pull request or fork the project. We actively work to prevent contributor burnout to maintain the quality and continuity of Open WebUI.

  • Bug reproducibility: If a bug cannot be reproduced with a :main or :dev Docker setup, or a pip install with Python 3.11, it may require additional help from the community. In such cases, we will move it to the "issues" Discussions section due to our limited resources. We encourage the community to assist with these issues. Remember, it’s not that the issue doesn’t exist; we need your help!

Description

Bug Summary:
The all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model is a 22.7M parameter model. Somehow, the open-webui managed to use up 1.1GB of storage for this model by downloading all versions of it.
The open-webui image's size is at the level of Windows11... And now this. It is becoming really hard to host it on edge devices now. Someday I may just find out that my disk was full and the system was down thanks to it.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install open-webui.
  2. Vola. Your disk space is gone.

Logs and Screenshots

Browser Console Logs:
N/A

Docker Container Logs:
N/A

Screenshots/Screen Recordings (if applicable):
N/A
