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

0.7.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.12.6

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

Browser (if applicable)

N/A

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

After upgrade, existing API settings should persist and API should still operate as it did before the upgrade

Actual Behavior

API access deactivated - had to manually re-activate it.
Users who had API access before the upgrade lost access after the upgrade.
Users are now getting a mixture of {"detail":"Method Not Allowed"} and {"detail":"API key not allowed to access this endpoint."}

Steps to Reproduce

Use last latest version before 0.7.2, enable API access for user accounts and confirm API access works.
Upgrade to 0.7.2.
Observe API is now disabled, and when manually re-enabled, API access is not possible.

Sorry - false positive. The issue is actually different now, in that previous models I had made are not visible now via API, but other models that are just available from a simple ollama pull are working.
