Originally created by @oboudry-mvp on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024).

On Open-WebUI deployed using the provided helm chart found at https://helm.openwebui.com/. With an existing persistent volume defined in values.yaml file and mounted as /app/backend/data. Users, custom prompts, are persistent across reboot. All works fine on that side.

But other settings like:

Default user role
Default model
Models whitelisting

are reset each time a new pod is created.

I did not find corresponding variables in the helm chart to define these values. Is there a way these can be persisted ?

Sorry, should have digged a bit more before posting. I found the config.py file and noticed a lot of the config comes from environment variables. Setting these in my values file fixed the question.

extraEnvVars:
