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

Latest

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Debian

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

Android users cannot install the PWA because the manifest.json is both broken and non-compliant.

Actual Behavior

​1. Manifest Truncation
When served through a proxy (Caddy/Nginx), the JSON is cut off mid-stream.
​Proof: curl -L ends abruptly at "par instead of }}.
​Result: Invalid JSON; Android rejects the PWA.

​2. Non-Standard Icons
Chrome on Android requires specific icon sizes to trigger the "Install" prompt.
​Current: 500x500
​Required: 192x192 and 512x512.
​Proposed Fix:
​Fix backend Content-Length headers to prevent truncation.
​Update manifest.json icons array to include standard 192x192 and 512x512 sizes.

Steps to Reproduce

Android pwa not working

Logs & Screenshots

NA

Cannot reproduce, reads to me like misconfiguration of NGINX

https://docs.openwebui.com/reference/https/nginx

Be careful to read the recommended stuff and what to not configure
