Problem Description

Every time I start developing with Open Web UI I need to manually set the connection to the pipeline service (in my case a docker container service).

Desired Solution you'd like

As the pipeline service should be something that most setups needs, It should be nice if the connection to the pipeline service could be automated. Like with a ENV variable, so if that variable is set, the connection to the pipeline services is activated on startup.

PIPELINE_SERVICE=http://host.docker.internal:9099
PIPELINE_AUTH_TOKEN=0p3n-w3bu!

So if the variable PIPELINE_SERVICE is set, it should contect to it on startup, with provided token, without the need for activating through UI.

Ok, I found it. Pipelines is connected wirth env variable OPENAI_API_BASE_URLS, just add pipeline containers address together with the one to https://api.openai.com/v1 - like:

OPENAI_API_BASE_URLS=http://pipelines:9099;https://api.openai.com/v1

And the key like:

OPENAI_API_KEY=0p3n-w3bu!
