i use this command to launch

docker run -it --network=host -v open-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:7880 --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

it stucked:

○ → docker run -it --network=host -v open-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:7880 --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main No WEBUI_SECRET_KEY provided Generating WEBUI_SECRET_KEY Loading WEBUI_SECRET_KEY from .webui_secret_key

don't know why?

Trace:

"errors" related to WEBUI_SECRET_KEY missing are red herrings.. inconsequential to the running of the app, it will create one if none is provided (this is the expected behaviour). The problem you are experiencing will be due to something else (I do not know what).

The app is in a restart loop, this is the only contents of the log. Something is happening this:

@justinh-rahb , it was already a discussion.. #1775

[lewismacnow]

This error started completely randomly, without having updated or changed anything, and after a lot of use.
I purged the container and started from scratch, the same errors occured.
Since I use Open Web-UI daily, I resorted to using the non-docker install approach which has allowed me to continue using the project again.

Have you tried deleting and re-pulling the image as well?
