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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Starting an Open-WebUI from a previous version (ex: 0.5.14), I expected this is the version I will be using as I needed at this time. There might be reasons to continue using an outdated version. There is no documented auto-update functionality in Open-WebUI (unless "watchtower" is enabled), so I don't expect any version surprises.

Actual Behavior

Open-WebUI automatically upgrades itself in runtime from 0.5.14 to 0.6.0.

Steps to Reproduce

The following scenario I was able to reproduce several times on the same machine, cleanly.

  1. Clean Docker desktop. Deleted all other images and volumes of Open-WebUI except ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:0.5.14 (ImageID d83a6bc2fb7c...), modified 2 months ago.

  2. Starting docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:0.5.14

  3. Open WebUI takes some time (up to a minute) to start. First I can't access port :3000 by browser then I can access but it keeps rotating pretty pictures a few times until Authentication Window comes up and I can create the first user. **Surprisingly, this takes long time - much longer then normally with other versions. I did not even know it is capable of rotating multiple pictures before showing the first login form.

During that time, the log shows v0.5.14 - building the best open-source AI user interface.

  1. If I do the fist login very quickly as soon as the login form arrives, the front-end is initially at the version 0.5.14 - as reported by User Settings -> About, Admin Settings -> General dialogue, and also the overall capability level, like if I create a user group, its permissions shown Workspace Permissions and Chat Permissions sections - as expected for 0.5.14.

However after subsequent full-page refresh (re-enter the Web UI), it starts showing 0.6.0 (0.6.5 available). What?! Some capabilities are now actually at 0.6.0 level, e.g. I create a user group, its permissions page has a new "Sharing Permissions" section which was only implemented in 0.6.0. Also some pipe functions are broken due to a new tool_servers[] parameter, etc.

  1. If I waited a longer time before doing a first login, I get into 0.6.0 right away.

  2. The WebUI stays at version 0.6.0 after container restarts, assuming I let it start fully and don't log in too quickly.

WHAT IS THIS ?!
