Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:

  1. Model connection to api.openai.com timeout blocks page load in Chromium for 5 minutes.

Steps to Reproduce:
Block outbound network access to api.openai.com.

Expected Behavior:
Connections shouldn't be made to openai.com if OPENAI_API_KEYS is unset or empty; perhaps this should also be an async call?

Actual Behavior:
Upon login, the page doesn't load for 5.2 minutes as demonstrated in the screenshot.

Environment

  • Operating System: Arch Linux
  • Browser (if applicable): Version 122.0.6261.111 (Official Build) Arch Linux (64-bit)

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • 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.

Installation Method

Podman systemd service using docker image.

Additional Information

I've no interest in using OpenAI nor permitting Open WebUI unnecessary network access.

Set your key to "None", try again.

No change with --env OPENAI_API_KEY=None. Any value set for this variable doesn't seem to matter. Note that /backend/config.py already sets none when the the value is "" (although lower case):
8ed5759d0e/backend/config.py (L237-L238)

The default for OPENAI_API_BASE_URL is here:
8ed5759d0e/backend/config.py (L240-L241)

The only way I can get the main post-login page to load in a timely fashion is to set an invalid hostname like --env OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=None which results in this behavior:

Mar 10 18:24:19.764435 hostname open-webui[225839]: get_all_models

Here's what appears to be occuring:

  1. /backend/main.py mounts /openai/api: 8ed5759d0e/backend/main.py (L108)
  2. /routes/(app)/+layout.svelte executes onMount() which contains a call to getModels() at: 8ed5759d0e/src/routes/(app)/%2Blayout.svelte#L109
  3. The getModels() function then executes a request to the backend API getOpenAIModels(): 8ed5759d0e/src/routes/(app)/%2Blayout.svelte#L47-L68
  4. This results in a call to either get_models() or get_all_models() or both: 8ed5759d0e/backend/apps/openai/main.py (L171-L186) 8ed5759d0e/backend/apps/openai/main.py (L192-L222)
