Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

0.7.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.13.5

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.3

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox

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

I should see the response from the model on the screen after the model generates its response.

Actual Behavior

After upgrade from 0.6.28 to 0.7.2 when I send a chat prompt to any installed locally installed model I do not see the response on the screen unless I refresh the page. There are no console errors. I am not using Docker. All python and NPM packages were updated. This does not happen with v0.6.28, responses appear reasonably quick using a basic prompt of "say hello". I am running it on localhost, not a remote server. No add-ons were installed, only Open WebUI out of the box, default install. I've tried deepseek-coder:33b and qwen3-coder:30b from Hugging Face. I'm using nVidia 3090 with 24GB VRAM.

Steps to Reproduce

Install v0.7.2 and run it. Note that I am not using Docker, I installed manually and run it from a shell.
Open Firefox (I'm using the latest v147.01) and go to the open webui page
Select a model and send a simple chat text, wait for response.
No response comes after several minutes ( I waited as long and 5 minutes to be sure) using a simple prompt such as "say hello".
Refresh the page, the model's response appears.

Logs & Screenshots

None

Additional Information

No response

Here's what I did to upgrade:

  • Copy the latest open-webui git code over the top of my existing code
  • npm install --force
  • pip install -U virtualenv
  • pip install -r requirements.txt -U

Then I started Open WebUI. Next, open the page in Firefox. Select model deepseek-r1:32b. Enter a chat prompt of "say hello". Waited. While waiting here's what I see in the shell console:

This is the only error in the browser console log:

10:40:59.455 Uncaught (in promise) Channels are not enabled Sidebar.svelte:374:9

Here's the response in the websocket via the browser inspector, as you can see the model responded, but the response does not appear in the browser:

42["events",{"chat_id":"921b6e39-395b-41f1-97d4-20a5ffa3089d","message_id":"72a6c2f6-9942-4fcb-8214-3958ccf0c5dd","data":{"type":"chat:completion","data":{"content":"Hello! How can I assist you with your programming or computer"}}}]

Note that I tried the same thing using Chromium browser, the same problem occurs.

Any advice on how to resolve this issue?

Unable to reproduce here as well

sounds like websocket issue misconfiguration - or on reverse proxy if it's used

I resolved the problem by doing a completely clean install instead of copying the latest code over the top of the previous code. You can close this ticket. Thanks!
