Bug Report

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: v0.3.30

Expected Behavior:

Open WebUI can run in an offline (unable to access the Internet) environment.

Actual Behavior:

Open WebUI cannot run in an offline environment fluently.

Description

When visiting the site, the API ( /api/version/updates ) will check the version (current & latest) information through the Internet. And before a long timeout, the site will not be displayed.

yes，I was deeply puzzled by the bug. the open webui keeps accessing '/api/version/updates' and doesn't load the page until it times out.

There's a lot of things trying to hit the internet when using Open-WebUI.

  • Version update check, even though its running in Docker.
  • When uploading a file in a chat, it tries to download a model from HF.
  • The Swagger docs do not work without internet, they dont even render #5714
  • The default embedding if not changed to ollama it tries to go to the internet and the UI won't start at all.

Kind of ironic given the description of the project says:

Open WebUI is an extensible, feature-rich, and user-friendly self-hosted WebUI designed to operate entirely offline.

I think adding a ENV variable for "Offline Mode" could help the backend make a decision on wether to reach the internet or not.
