Check Existing Issues

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

Installation Method

Other

Open WebUI Version

v0.5.20

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Kubernetes / Ubuntu

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 134.0.6998.166, Firefox 136.0.4

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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

  • When exporting a single model from workspace > models I would expect to be able to import this single model again on another instance (e.g. staging / prod environment)
  • When the import of a model json file fails I would like to get a dedicated exception

Actual Behavior

  • Exporting a single model via Workspace > Models > "More" / "Three dots"-Button on a single model > Export downloads a (seemingly) valid model JSON file
  • When importing the model JSON file on another instance via the Workspace > Models > "Import Models"-Button on the right of the page, I get some logs in the browser console, logging the model included in the JSON file, but then nothing happens
  • No error message, no error log in the browser console - simply nothing is happening
  • Even in the running pod there are no logs about the failed import

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to 'Workspace' > 'Models'
  2. If no custom model exists, create a new demo model (settings are irrelevant, breaks with any settings)
  3. Save the newly created model
  4. On any existing model on 'Workspace' > 'Models' click on the "three dots"-Button (Tooltip labeled with "More")
  5. Click on "Export" and save the json file
  6. On the page 'Workspace' > 'Models' click on the 'Import models' button in the bottom right
  7. Choose the downloaded json file from earlier and confirm
  8. Inspect the browser console if you want

Additional Information

  • When looking into the code and comparing to the json file downloaded when exporting ALL models via the button on the bottom right on the 'Workspace' > 'Models' page I think the models json file of the single model is missing an encapsulation into an "info" field.
  • In the all models json file, there are all model details and attributes (including the custom models created via 'Workspace' > 'Models') encapsuled in an "info" field like this:
[
  // ... other models here...
  {
    "id": "demo-model",
    "name": "Demo Model",
    "object": "model",
    "created": 1743178699,
    "owned_by": "openai",
    "info": {
      "id": "demo-model",
      "user_id": "73ae4aa4-b7df-4bcc-abb7-7b86d6480b87",
      "base_model_id": "azure-gpt-4o-mini",
      "name": "Demo Model",
      "params": {
        "system": "Answer politely"
      },
      "meta": {
        "profile_image_url": "/static/favicon.png",
        "description": "Demo description",
        "capabilities": {
          "vision": true,
          "usage": false,
          "citations": true
        },
        "suggestion_prompts": null,
        "tags": []
      },
      "access_control": null,
      "is_active": true,
      "updated_at": 1743178699,
      "created_at": 1743178699
    },
    "preset": true,
    "actions": []
  }
]
  • The single model export file is missing this attribute "info":
[
  {
    "id": "demo-model",
    "user_id": "73ae4aa4-b7df-4bcc-abb7-7b86d6480b87",
    "base_model_id": "azure-gpt-4o-mini",
    "name": "Demo Model",
    "params": {
      "system": "Answer politely"
    },
    "meta": {
      "profile_image_url": "/static/favicon.png",
      "description": "Demo description",
      "capabilities": {
        "vision": true,
        "usage": false,
        "citations": true
      },
      "suggestion_prompts": null,
      "tags": []
    },
    "access_control": null,
    "is_active": true,
    "updated_at": 1743178699,
    "created_at": 1743178699,
    "user": {
      "id": "73ae4aa4-b7df-4bcc-abb7-7b86d6480b87",
      "name": "Test User",
      "email": "test@example.com",
      "role": "admin",
      "profile_image_url": "/user.png"
    }
  }
]

  • Also, I found the following code snippet in the code, which was a hint, why the single exported model file is not working:
    b03fc97e28/src/lib/components/workspace/Models.svelte (L420-L434)

  • So my suggestion is, that inside the for loop, it is looked for a field named "info", if it is missing - simply nothing is done, the content of the model config is skipped and nothing happens

  • So I thought "what if I just wrap the whole content of the single exported json file inside a field named "info" - et voilà: it worked! I was able to import the following single-model-file via the 'Workspace' > 'Models' > 'Import models' button without any errors:

[
  {
    "info": {
      "id": "demo-model",
      "user_id": "73ae4aa4-b7df-4bcc-abb7-7b86d6480b87",
      "base_model_id": "azure-gpt-4o-mini",
      "name": "Demo Model",
      "params": {
        "system": "Answer politely"
      },
      "meta": {
        "profile_image_url": "/static/favicon.png",
        "description": "Demo description",
        "capabilities": {
          "vision": true,
          "usage": false,
          "citations": true
        },
        "suggestion_prompts": null,
        "tags": []
      },
      "access_control": null,
      "is_active": true,
      "updated_at": 1743178699,
      "created_at": 1743178699,
      "user": {
        "id": "73ae4aa4-b7df-4bcc-abb7-7b86d6480b87",
        "name": "Test User",
        "email": "test@example.com",
        "role": "admin",
        "profile_image_url": "/user.png"
      }
    }
  }
]
  • So my suggestion would be: When exporting a single model, wrap the config into an "info" field and export this as json
  • Or: Modify the if clause in the code to not only check, if the file includes an "info" field, but instead check otherwise, whether the file includes a model configuration

Short disclaimer:

  • We have OpenWebUI deployed and running on a kubernetes cluster inside a pod. So unfortunately I did not test this locally (but depending on the code, this should also appear locally on Docker)
  • The logs of the pod did log exactly nothing during this time, so I did not include these
  • We do not use Ollama, but also this should not be a problem of the base model imo

Exported single model json file (not working):
demo-model-1743179018399.json

Export all models json file (working, but includes all models):
models-export-1743179408340.json

Modified (and able to import) single model json file:
modified-demo-model.json
