Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/16836

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

v0.6.25

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

Browser (if applicable)

Edge

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

I was hoping that with docker-compose I could start openwebui on a subdomain of my main domain, but when I do so, I encounter this issue... I currently want to set up a redirect with nginx proxy manager on the main domain n8n and on the other openwebui.

Actual Behavior

The assets are not loading.

Steps to Reproduce

start the server
start the docker container with openwebui
enter the subdomain and view the screen without loading

That's not a subdomain, it's a subdirectory.

And yes, it doesn't work properly with the subdirectory, it's an intentional behavior.
Just set it as a subdomain, e.g. openwebui.example.com

usually you can add subdomains as option in this kind of services, search in azure for info.

Sad not everyone have a domain that have control on it (often free one, mine it's given by my isp), and so can't create subdomains...

If you don't want to implement it, at least put the label 'wontfix'
