Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.7.2 (latest)

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.13.5

Operating System

TrueNAS CE v25.10.1

Browser (if applicable)

Chromium v143.0.7499.192

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

  1. As a administrator (within the web UI): If I create a new user with "Admin Panel > +" (/admin/users/overview), the (new) user should become created after click on [Save] (in the modal)
  2. As a administrator (within the web UI): If I click on "Settings > Account", the account settings should open
  3. With enable_signup": true a new account should become created after cklick on [Create Account] on the "Sign up to Open WebUI" (start) page (/auth → "Sign up" link)

Actual Behavior

  1. The (new user) is not created and the [Save] button spinner spins endless
  2. The Account settings aren't opend and the whole settings modal becomes unresponsible (I have to reload the page)
  3. The account is not created (and I stay on the "Sign up" page)

And for all 3 points I get this SecurityError in the console:

error-handling.js:68 Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to execute 'getImageData' on 'CanvasRenderingContext2D': The canvas has been tainted by cross-origin data.
    at Jm (index.ts:252:16)
    at Ig (index.ts:341:7)
    at UserProfileImage.svelte:92:53
    at UserProfileImage.svelte:92:10

Steps to Reproduce

See all 3 points at "Expected Behavior"

Logs & Screenshots

See "Actual Behavior"

In the (browser) console also is a link Show ignore-listed frames. If I click on it the error message becomes exanded:

error-handling.js:68 Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to execute 'getImageData' on 'CanvasRenderingContext2D': The canvas has been tainted by cross-origin data.

Could you share a bit more about your setup? We're unable to reproduce.

Thanks @tjbck for your feedback!

As I reported, I've installed the current Open WebUI version v0.7.2 as a TrueNAS App (which is a Docker installation).
I haven't experienced any other issues: I can download and use LLM models – everything seems to work fine/as expected.

But: While writing this I tried (again) to create a new user (with the "Admin Panel"), this time while using Librewolf v146.0.1-1 (instead of Chromium), and I succeeded …! 🤨
FYI: I use the CanvasBlocker extension and got a pop-up message which led me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting.

After that I tried this (create new user in "Admin Panel") at Chromium v144.0.7559.59 (again) and can/have to reverify the issue/error. ☹️
So maybe this is a Ungoogled Chromium issue/bug, regarding the fingerprinting protection ? 🤔
→ Should I close this issue (, or do you wanna investigate it further)?
