Models are getting pulled during the helm upgrade

[govindkailas]

What happened?

I am using Ollama integrated with open-webui, I see that when I upgrade the helm chart, the models are getting pulled again regardless of their local existence.

Reported here, open-webui/helm-charts#193

Hello @govindkailas

The chart executes the "ollama pull" command, ollama checks that the models are already present locally with the manifest, if they are not they will be downloaded.

Do you confirm that you have persistant volume enabled?

[govindkailas]

Yes, I have a pvc for Ollama.
