Remove Bitnami Helm Charts (Postgres and Redis Cluster) #273
Description
Unfortunately, Bitnami has decided to drop open source, public support for their Helm charts: bitnami/charts#35164
The only permanent solution, per Bitnami, is to subscribe to their paid service:
Suppose your deployed Helm chart is failing to pull images from docker.io/bitnami. In that case, you can resolve this by subscribing to Bitnami Secure Images, ensuring that the Helm charts receive continued support and security updates. As a temporary workaround, you can upgrade to the same version and update the repository parameter for each container image to the Bitnami Legacy repository.
As a result of this, we are dropping support for Bitnami charts in Open WebUI, which currently includes Redis Cluster and Postgres. We are releasing this chart as a major version to ensure that Open WebUI Helm users have a chance to review the impact to their deployments, and can look for alternate ways to host Redis Cluster and Postgres for Open WebUI. Starting August 28th, 2025, any Open WebUI deployments still attempting to pull Bitnami charts will break.
Next week I will update this issue with some alternative options, including a Redis option already included in this chart, and other Postgres options such as Postgres Operator. However, we want to remove our dependencies on these charts ASAP and, along with the community, will look for good alternatives to implement into our Open WebUI charts.
