Installation Method

Python 3.11 with pip/venv

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: 0.5.18

  • Operating System: Debian 12

  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox (MacOS)

Confirmation:

  • [ X] I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • [ X] I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • [ X] I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

Works as expected

Actual Behavior:

When the OpenAI (locally hosted) API endpoint goes down, it brings down Open-WebUI with it. Open-WebUI does not return until the OpenAI endpoint does.

Description

Bug Summary:
See above

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a OpenAI endpoint like so:

Image

Take the OpenAI endpoint offline (shut the OpenAI compatible server down).

Watch Open-WebUI turn into a white page on page refresh and refuse to load anything until the OpenAI endpoint is back up.

Watch open-webui logs, which will show the following:

2025-03-03 17:17:59.554 | INFO | open_webui.routers.openai:get_all_models:379 - get_all_models() - {}
2025-03-03 17:20:09.640 | ERROR | open_webui.routers.openai:send_get_request:78 - Connection error: Cannot connect to host 192.168.0.200:5000 ssl:default [Connect call failed ('192.168.0.200', 5000)] - {}

Additional Information

Open-WebUI DOES NOT come back online until the OpenAI endpoint is back online! Not even the admin section
