✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

openwebui

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/openwebui.sh)"

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Openwebui now supports a 'voice chat' options similar to how ChatGPT does this.
This feature has been added (and enhanced) in recent versions, thus requiring additional OS packages.

The implementation makes a call to ffprobe which ins not installed in the openwebui-install.sh dependencies.

This causes an error to be shown when using the voice mode.

Installing ffmpeg using the package manager apt-get corrected this issue.

I believe the fix will be to add ffmpeg as part of the dependencies.

Its noted that their preferred quickstart prefers docker or a python based package install process.

The script could maybe be refactored to docker.

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Install as per normal
Activate voice chat by clicking the 'headphone' icon beside the prompt box
Say a prompt and pause, at which time it will try and process
The error will show in a toast down the bottom right

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

Fixed the issue before screenshotting the error.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

No response

Sure, I'll give it a go, if anything is broken I'll open another issue.

I will spin up the docker container and see if it has any other differences. I have issues with the Web Search in the LXC, and I'm unsure if it's the LXC Install or me.
