Can you please take a look? Thanks.

can you try this before running the update:

cd /opt/open-webui
git reset --hard

[IosifZ]

can you try this before running the update:

cd /opt/open-webui
git reset --hard

That did the trick:

root@openwebui:~# cd /opt/open-webui
root@openwebui:/opt/open-webui# git reset --hard
HEAD is now at 4770285c0 Merge pull request #11211 from open-webui/dev

Thanks so much for your help.
