Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Problem Description

One may simple mount the path to file as read only, and ask openwebui to scan them, while keeping the original directory structure so that it wont break legacy program running on it.

That will be great for small business who has only one single computer that host both file storage and llm service.

Desired Solution you'd like

support periodic and incremental scan of a local file directory to auto import knowledge

automatically sync new or updated file to the knowledge,
remove file that are no longer present on the disk
