Problem Description

Currently, it is not possible to make chats temporary and non-retained by default. For many people who use Open Webui, we are using it because we want a zero-trust privacy-enhanced deployment of AI tools.

Desired Solution you'd like

A flag that can be set during server start in the config that would cause ALL chats to be temporary by default.

Alternatives Considered

You can enforce temporary chats per permissions.
