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

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.7.3-dev-0dc74a8

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Debian 12

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox 147

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

Upload a file on KB, as usual.

Actual Behavior

Uploading KB file on latest dev 0dc74a8 fails with error Class 'open_webui.models.files.FileModel' is not mapped

Checkout the v0.7.2 commit 2b26355002 and issue is not happening.

Steps to Reproduce

Fresh install of latest dev on Debian 12 using SQLite and default Content Extraction Engine.

I can confirm this issue exists on the latest dev branch and it's preventing me from using anything in Open WebUI that would use the RAG engine.
