I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
npm/pnpm install should work.
Actual Behavior
Errors out when using a newer node.js (24.x) version 😕
Steps to Reproduce
Use node.js 24 and install pnpm
git clone openwebui
pnpm install
Logs & Screenshots
Your Node version is incompatible with "/home/theo/src/open-webui".
Expected version: >=18.13.0 <=22.x.x
Got: v24.5.0

I use node 23, and before build it I always edit package.json & package-lock.json for use it
"engines": {
"node": ">=18.13.0 <=24.x.x",
