Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/docs/issues/624

I'm running open-webui via the official docker image on podman, I was using the previous version successfully for a couple weeks but just updated to the latest version that was just released. When I start the container, it is now telling me that openssl is failing a self check for FIPS and kills the container.

I can update this issue with proper information once I am able to retrieve it.

My RHEL 8.10 has FIPS enforced across the system. open-webui is only accessible through an nginx reverse proxy and all other communication occurs over HTTP inside the podman network that is shared between containers.
