Check Existing Issues

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

Ollama Version (if applicable)

Operating System

Debian

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

Docker container should start

Actual Behavior

Docker container which had been running for several months without issues no longer starts after updating Nvidia drivers on host. Docker container.json.log is empty. When starting the container, I get the following error:

Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error running prestart hook #0: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: Auto-detected mode as 'legacy'
nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: nvml error: driver/library version mismatch: unknown

Steps to Reproduce

Stopped docker containers.
Updated Nvidia drivers on host to 535.247.01 (unfortunately not sure what previous version was)
reboot host
Try to launch docker container using attached docker-compose file

Logs & Screenshots
