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

v0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

/

Operating System

Windows

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox

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

Nothing visible, just pollution of the logs

Actual Behavior

chromadb.telemetry.product.posthog:_direct_capture:61 - Failed to send telemetry event ClientCreateCollectionEvent: capture() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given - {}
chromadb.telemetry.product.posthog:_direct_capture:61 - Failed to send telemetry event CollectionAddEvent: capture() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given - {}

Steps to Reproduce

I just started it up, that's it. After a short while it gave me this, but stopped after 10-12 messages.

It might also be when I send a request. I think I send 4, and with 3 retries, it could amount to 12 messages.

Logs & Screenshots

See above for the log

Additional Information

Intended behaviour here, chromadb telemetry is disabled by default.

It seems that the fault is in chromadb when passing arguments to a dependent library posthog (Requires-Dist: posthog>=2.4.0), for this to work properly, it need to change that requirement to force posthog>=2.4.0,<6.0.0

Maybe adding posthog>=2.4.0,<6.0.0 to requirements could solve that issue.
