Check Existing Issues

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

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.18

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome

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

The Models are loaded by the SentenceTransformer and embedding vectors are generated

Actual Behavior

the retrieval process crashes

Steps to Reproduce

  • configure jinaai/jina-embeddings-v4 as embedding model
  • set 'SENTENCE_TRANSFORMERS_MODEL_KWARGS={"default_task": "retrieval"}'
  • upload a document to a knowledge

Logs & Screenshots

400: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'
