Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/helm-charts/issues/215

we were trying to set in the values.yaml for version 5.20.0

websocket:
   enabled: false

But this does not actually disable websockets
I needed to actually set this in the

  extraEnvVars:
    # -- Default API key value for Pipelines. Should be updated in a production deployment, or be changed to the required API key if not using Pipelines
    - name: OPENAI_API_KEY
      value: "0p3n-w3bu!"
    - name: ENABLE_WEBSOCKET_SUPPORT
      value: "False"

I would have expected enabled: false to properly disable it, but it does not and there are lots of websocket errors

Hello @lorelei-rupp-imprivata, your point makes sense. Thanks for reporting this. According to this documentation, the default value of ENABLE_WEBSOCKET_SUPPORT is False.

I’ll check if the WebSocket is not working as expected. You can submit a PR for this, or please wait while I investigate your point.

Have a good day!

Thanks -- yeah that default def does not get set on the container and is def not set for some reason. When this is specifically put in, then all the errors go away and things work
