Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:
When env variable DOCS_DIR is supplied, the UI does not reflect the supplied value but still shows the default value (/data/docs).

Steps to Reproduce:

docker run --rm --network=host \
    -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434 \
    -e DOCS_DIR=/data/documents \
    -v ${PWD}/documents/:/data/documents/ \
    ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:dev

Expected Behavior:
When env variable DOCS_DIR is supplied, the UI shows that value.

Actual Behavior:
The UI still shows /data/docs.
(When pressed Scan button, it does scan the correct dir that is specified by the env variable)
