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

v0.6.41

Ollama Version (if applicable)

v0.13.1

Operating System

ubuntu 24.04

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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.

@athoik commented on GitHub (Dec 3, 2025):

I have a ready PR !

I was waiting for langchain community to release a new version that includes a PR that will make OI fully supported on Debian 13 and Python 3.13.

https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain-community/pull/375

Once https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain-community/tags 0.4.2 released I can push the PR.
I can push now, but it will not be 100% python 3.13 ready.

I did a PR but I closed because in requirements is used langchain 0.3.27 & usually this kind of changes isn't accepted.
