The Github package explicitly recommends python311, and this would solve problems of some packages/libraries being deprecated in 3.12, but still working, but not existing at all for 3.13, which is the current -testing version. So the package uses a not-recommended python version right now, which deprecates dependencies, and the package is non installable/runnable with python > 3.12, so testing.

Changing the dependencies in the PKGBUILD from just python to python311, and explicitly using python3.11 instead of just python in the .install fixes everything I observed.

@mistersmee awesome, thanks mate

@envolution, after trying and testing stuff, I've gone with the second approach you suggested, as while what I said about it not building with the latest nodejs version is true, it doesn't actually require nodejs to run at all, so I'm dropping it entirely from the dependencies.

@envolution, the package simply doesn't build or run with just nodejs as dependency, upstream has nodejs pinned to 18.13.0 <= nodejs <= 22.x.x, and nodejs is at 23.x.x in the repos. It's not a case of reminding users that a certain version of node is supported, it's moving around the versions of node that aren't supported.

envolution commented on 2024-11-24 08:55 (UTC)

please set node dependency to node rather than nodejs-lts-iron - it's fine to remind users that a certain version of node is supported, but you should assume users have various ways of managing node versions themselves

you could also

PKGBUILD
_ensure_local_nvm() {
    export NVM_DIR="${srcdir}/.nvm"
    source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh || [[ $? != 1 ]]
    nvm install
    nvm use
    echo "in _ensure nvm dir = ${NVM_DIR}"
}

echo "lts/iron" > .nvmrc
_ensure_local_nvm
...build steps...

but i think open-webui probably wouldn't need this enforecment

@dbb, done, permissions on data directory set to 700, with pkgrel 0.4.3-2

dbb commented on 2024-11-22 14:00 (UTC)

@mistersmee That works, but I would install the data directory with --mode=700 (or maybe 750 or 770) since on a multiuser system you probably don't want other users being able to read those files.

mistersmee commented on 2024-11-22 10:26 (UTC)

@dbb, the latest version I pushed, 0.4.3-1 should fix this alongside being the latest upstream version, please test and see if it was fixed.

With a fresh install there's an peewee.OperationalError: unable to open database file exception on startup. Seems to be because while the package installs /var/opt/open-webui it does not install /var/opt/open-webui/data. I created that directory, chown-ed it to open-webui, chmod-ed it to 700, and it seems to startup and run fine now.
