Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.18

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Rocky Linux

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

My OpenWebUI instance is running on http://192.168.254.42:8080. For an open ai compatible endpoint the endpoint post http://192.168.254.42:8080/v1/chat/completions should return the chat completion. Generally the api works but only with curl -X POST http://192.168.254.42:8080/api/chat/completions, so without the v1. For connecting OpenWebUI with services that expect OpenAI compatible Endpoints, that's really a problem.

Actual Behavior

That's the output for the call

curl -X POST http://192.168.254.42:8080/api/v1/chat/completions
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-123 (real API KEY hidden)" \
-d '{
"model": "coding-assistent",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Wie kann ich eine SQL-Abfrage schreiben, um alle Benutzer aus einer Datenbank zu selektieren?"
}
]
}'

{"detail":"Method Not Allowed"}%

Steps to Reproduce

Run OpenWebUI with docker in production mode
Make API accessible via the UI
Try OpenAI compatible Endpoints
