Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/15337

Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

latest

Operating System

Linux

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome/Firefox/Edge

Confirmation

  • 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

After login, user should be redirected to:

https://<redacted-domain>.com/auth#token=<JWT>

Actual Behavior

After successfully logging into Open WebUI using Authentik via OIDC, the Web UI redirects to:

http://localhost:3000/auth#token=...

The entire login flow completes successfully, including token exchange and callback reception.
However, the redirect breaks since my deployment is hosted at:

https://<redacted-domain>.com

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Deploy Open WebUI via Docker Compose
webui:
  image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
  environment:
    PUBLIC_URL: https://<redacted-domain>.com
    OLLAMA_BASE_URL: http://ollama:11434
    ENABLE_OAUTH_SIGNUP: true
    OAUTH_MERGE_ACCOUNTS_BY_EMAIL: true
    OAUTH_PROVIDER_NAME: Authentik
    OAUTH_CLIENT_ID: <REDACTED_CLIENT_ID>
    OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET: <REDACTED_CLIENT_SECRET>
    OPENID_PROVIDER_URL: https://auth.<redacted-domain>.com/application/o/ollama-webui/.well-known/openid-configuration
    OAUTH_SCOPES: openid email profile
    OPENID_REDIRECT_URI: https://<redacted-domain>.com/oauth/oidc/callback

 Set up Authentik with matching callback URLs

Authentik Provider: 

     Client Type: Confidential
     Redirect URIs:
         https://<redacted-domain>.com/oauth/oidc/callback
         (Optional local dev) http://192.168.1.X:8000/oauth/oidc/callback

 Login using Authentik from homepage (https://<redacted-domain>.com)
 Successful token returned
 Redirects to http://localhost:3000/auth#token=...

Logs & Screenshots

GET /oauth/oidc/login HTTP/1.1" 302
POST https://auth.<redacted-domain>.com/application/o/token/ "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
GET /oauth/oidc/callback?... HTTP/1.1" 307

Additional Information

It was working fine for many months since November 2024. Only recently after an update in April or May, this has been happening
Please confirm:

 Whether the PUBLIC_URL is respected during final frontend redirect
 If any frontend caching or extra config is needed to fix this
 Whether this is a bug or an expected fallback behavior

Please read the changelogs before updating, this is an intended behaviour going forward.

@IdefixRC commented on GitHub (Sep 7, 2025):

Update: found another user with the same issue. Here is the fix:

WEBUI_URL is a persistent config variable
This means once it has been set (ever) you can't change it again from environment variables, only via the admin panel. Persistent config variables are meant for initial setup. Further changes are to be done in the admin panel.
Just change the webui url in the admin panel.
