TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by using an IPv6-enabled DNS resolver or a proxy server that can connect to IPv4 addresses.

Guidance

  • The error message indicates a connection issue to ollama.com on port 443, suggesting that the IPv6-only host cannot resolve or connect to the IPv4 address of ollama.com.
  • To verify this, try using a tool like dig or host to check the DNS resolution of ollama.com and see if it returns an IPv6 address.
  • Consider using a proxy server or a DNS resolver that supports IPv6 and can connect to IPv4 addresses, such as a dual-stack DNS resolver.
  • If possible, try to update the DNS configuration on the host to use a resolver that supports IPv6.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it's not clearly supported by the issue.

Notes

The solution may vary depending on the specific network configuration and DNS setup of the host. Additionally, the issue may be resolved if ollama.com starts supporting IPv6 addresses.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a proxy server or a DNS resolver that supports IPv6 and can connect to IPv4 addresses, as this is a more feasible solution given the current infrastructure.
