Logs & Screenshots
There are no logs output to the browser console, and because the page reload happens so quickly, it's not possible to capture the network activity in devtools either.
On the server, and after a successful configuration of the admin account via Chrome, the logs look like this:
The reload behaviour persists after the admin account is added, so it doesn't appear to be related to the uninitialised initial state.
Additional Information
It works fine in Chrome 134.0.6998.89 for me on the same mac as above. Note that open-webui and the browser are on different machines for me: the server is running on Ubuntu 24.04.

Have you tried on Safari? For me on MacOS with Safari, I'm currently running in the same behaviour. At least when I'm accessing my dev deployment, for others it works again...
@regularfry commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
No, I don't see that behaviour on Safari.
However I do have another bit of information. If I open the URL
http://<hostname>:8080, Firefox goes into a reload loop. If I openhttp://<hostname>.lan:8080, which is an alias provided by the DNS server on my network, it seems to work fine.@zhanghao-njmu commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
After restarting the Open WebUI service, I also encountered the issue of being unable to reach the login page when accessing the IP address and port. However, switching to a different browser resolved the problem. This suggests the issue might be related to cached cookies or data in the original browser.
I haven't investigated further, but I found a workaround: accessing
http://<hostname>:<port>/authdirectly forces the application to display the login page.However, simply navigating to
http://<hostname>:<port>still results in the continuous reloading behavior and doesn't allow direct login.
