Bug Report

Installation Method

Docker

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.3.21
Operating System: [Windows 10]

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.
I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

The created_at and updated_at columns in the chat table should contain the correct timestamps for the creation and last update of a conversation.

Actual Behavior:

The created_at and updated_at columns in the chat table store an incorrect default date value: 01/01/0001 00:00:00. This issue affects all entries, and the columns do not get updated with the correct timestamps.

Description

Bug Summary:
The created_at and updated_at columns in the chat table of the webui.db database are not properly capturing the creation and update timestamps. Instead, they display the value 01/01/0001 00:00:00 for all entries. This issue persists across all conversations stored in the database.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

Install the Open WebUI project using Docker.
Run the application and initiate several conversations.
Inspect the webui.db database and navigate to the chat table.
Observe the created_at and updated_at columns, which display 01/01/0001 00:00:00 for each entry.
