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
When uploading a knowledge document (.md) the file should start uploading and be processed into the knowledge base.
Actual Behavior
The upload progress shows 0/0 (NaN%) and the upload never starts. The interface stays stuck and the file is never processed.
Steps to Reproduce
Open OpenWebUI
Go to Workspace → Knowledge
Click Upload Folder
Select a folder containing .md files
Upload progress shows 0/0 (NaN%)
Upload never starts
Logs & Screenshots
Additional Information
The issue happens when uploading a folder containing multiple .md files.
Single file upload sometimes works, but folder upload gets stuck at 0/0 (NaN%).

Thanks for the guidance. I found the cause of the issue and it’s now resolved.
The problem was related to the folder I was uploading. It contained files that were not supported by the knowledge uploader, which caused the upload progress to remain stuck at 0/0 (NaN%). After cleaning the folder and keeping only supported document files, the upload started working normally.
Appreciate the help.
