Check Existing Issues

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

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 10

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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 provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Settings should be saved in the database

Actual Behavior

In multiple copies, the setting is only saved in Redis, and the database will not be changed

Steps to Reproduce

  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
      - 80:80

    restart: always
    deploy:
      restart_policy:
        condition: any
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 3s
      retries: 5

networks:
  open-webui:
    name: open-webui
    driver: bridge

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    server {
        listen 80;
    
        client_max_body_size 1024m;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://open-webui:8080;
            proxy_read_timeout 360s;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;

            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }
    }
}

Start containers using the above settings in Docker Swarm mode
Modify any prompt word in /admin/settings/interface
Delete all containers and restart
Observed that the account is still there, but the previous settings have been lost

Logs & Screenshots

The logs show that the settings have been saved to Redis and the database, and other replicas have also successfully loaded the settings from Redis
