Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:

Visit Settings > About may get the whole server stucked in restricted network environment.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start open-webui in a restricted/offline network environment (i.e., cannot visit GitHub API).
  2. Visit Settings > About.
  3. /api/version/updates will be visited and the whole server stuck until timeout of requests.

Alternatively, you can also visit /api/version/updates directly.

Expected Behavior:

  1. Raise an error when GitHub API is not reachable.
  2. Provide a toggle to control whether to trigger update detection.
  3. Provide a config to set the timeout of external requests.

Alternatively, use libraries supporting aysnchronous requests such as httpx instead when sending requests.

Actual Behavior:

The whole server stucks until GET https://api.github.com/repos/open-webui/open-webui/releases/latest timeout since the request is synchronous, and the limitaiton of Python GIL.

Environment

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Browser (if applicable): Chrome 114.0.5735.199

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
