README.md.Expected Behavior
The server is expected to boot.
Actual Behavior
After starting the docker container with the command
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG" -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:mainthe server never fully starts and gets stuck in a boot loop.This only started happening after the latest update from v0.5.20 to v0.6.0, the update was performed via the
docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:maincommand.As a debugging step i tried running open-webui via uv, using the
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest servecommand. In that case, open-webui simply crashes with no discernible error message.Steps to Reproduce
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG" -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:maincommand.Logs & Screenshots
Running
docker logs -f open-webuishows that the container is stuck in a boot loop printing the following over and over.Output from
DATA_DIR=~/.open-webui uvx --python 3.11 open-webui@latest serveAdditional Information

I have the same issue after upgrading on the Raspberry Pi 4
@KaiNorberg commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2025):
I am also using a raspberry pi, but I'm using the 3 B+. I ended up backing up my files and nuking my distro and changing distro from fedora server to dietpi thinking it might be a resource issue or that my OS was borked, that did not fix it, had the exact same issue. I then downgraded to open webui version v0.5.2, and now use this command to run it
That works just fine, even if I use the exact same command as before and only change the version. I would guess that maybe the newest update broke something when running on a raspberry pi?

I'm back running after reverting to v0.5.20
Just for interest, I'm running a Raspberry Pi 400 on Raspberry Pi OS on an M.2 drive inserted in a USB dongle.
Initially I though it might have been a database issue so I renamed webui.db in order for the program to recreate it on relaunch, which didn't help as it got stuck in the same part after recreating the database file.
I then reverted the db so as not to loose my chat history and everything else..
What I did was to alter the docker compose line from:
image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:mainimage: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:v0.5.20And then relaunched the container with:
docker compose up -dwhereby it pulled the specified image.Once a new release is available, I'll try that to see if whatever issue caused this has been resolved.
