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

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.7.2 dev - but this is a longer standing issue.

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu Server

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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

It persists

Actual Behavior

Across multiple restarts, or passed days - and perhaps Redis restarts - the values get deleted.
It's back to being empty on the UI.

Replicated by me and @MarouaneZhani

Steps to Reproduce

Honestly not sure yet - will update once we figure it out.

But seems to be that after some days and multiple restarts this occurs.

SIMPLE restarts dont cause the loss of configuration but after some days it becomes empty again in the admin panel.

I have seen this multiple times in the past, but not in a long time. I would assume it happens due to values not properly being written to Redis/DB in some cases?

this is so perplexing because simple restarts dont cause the deletion. Then what does?
