When does this happen?

IF Open WebUI container restart causes loss of all chat history, user data, and configuration.

How others solved it

THEN When running Open WebUI with Docker, always mount a volume to `/app/backend/data` inside the container using the `-v open-webui:/app/backend/data` flag. This ensures the SQLite database and other persistent files survive container restarts and re-creations. If using Docker Compose, define a named volume in the `volumes` section and reference it in the service.

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
