After updating OpenWebUI to version 0.11, my OpenWebUI instance gradually consumes all available RAM over the course of 1–2 days, eventually causing the server to crash. Is anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have an idea what might be causing it? It was working fine before the update.

I have Gemma 4 running locally and external ones, I’m trying to make it more useful inside OpenWebUI.

A couple of things I’m looking for advice on:

1. Document analysis / file workflows I want to be able to upload PDFs and DOCX files, have the model analyze them, and ideally generate edited or new documents back.
   • What tools, integrations, or workflows are people using for this?
   • If you want the model to return a finished PDF/DOCX, what’s the best approach?
2. Recommended tools / integrations What other tools do you recommend to make local AI and external AI integrations more useful in OpenWebUI?
3. LDAP question I enabled enable_ldap_group_management directly in the database because it appears to be a ConfigVar variable, but I don’t see a corresponding toggle in the UI. Is that expected or am I missing something?

Would appreciate any suggestions and tips.

Hi, I noticed that when I upload an audio file, Open WebUI starts transcribing it and makes file upload take longer. This slows things down and I’d prefer to disable that behavior. Is there a way to turn off automatic transcription / processing of audio uploads? When I change STT Engine to Web API, it gives an error and because of that the file upload is instant. But the problem is the users see that error also.
