Could you please specify the update process? In open-webui's FAQ there is a question answered completely blurry without any reason:

Q: Why isn't my Open WebUI updating? I've re-pulled/restarted the container, and nothing changed.

A: Updating Open WebUI requires more than just pulling the new Docker image. Here’s why your updates might not be showing and how to ensure they do:

Updating the Docker Image: The command docker pull ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main updates the Docker image but not the running container or its data.
-> Don't answer a question by telling what's not sufficient and leaving out what the next steps are

Persistent Data in Docker Volumes: Docker volumes store data independently of container lifecycles, preserving your data (like chat histories) through updates.
-> WHERE is the information stored? Please provide a path. Be more specific.

Applying the Update: Ensure your update takes effect by removing the existing container (which doesn't delete the volume) and creating a new one with the updated image and existing volume attached.
-> HOW is this done. Please provide an exact step-by-step instruction how to do this. The initial question of this section is NOT answered, but blurry hints are given. Be more specific in describing what commands lead to an completely updated version of the open-webui docker!

Semi-related PR I have open here - #337. I will eventually get towards extending the FAQ page and addressing more questions in more detail.
Please thoroughly review the changes made to the page here and let me know what you think.
