Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Other

Open WebUI Version

0.8.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.18.0

Operating System

CachyOS

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

I have an autostart script:
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx open-webui@latest serve

It should launch Open WebUI on http://localhost:8080/

Actual Behavior

The script ends with an error code and Open WebUI doesn't launch.

Cause of error:

Requirements are unsatisfiable. depends on ddgs==9.11.2 and open-webui==0.8.10. No solution found when resolving tool dependencies.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Open WebUI using the uvx package manager: DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx open-webui@latest serve
  2. Error - ddgs dependency version error

Logs & Screenshots

Additional Information

I assume this is the official ddgs repo, but the latest build is 9.11.4 and I can't find the version that Open WebUI requires (which is an outdated version 9.11.2).
