ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Ollama 0.18.3 don't consider ollama.env, and so no longer reachable from distant host - FIXED not an ollama issue [10 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

The fix involves updating the Ollama configuration to ensure it binds to the correct IP address and port.

• Check the ollama.yml configuration file for the host setting and update it to 0.0.0.0:11434 if necessary.
• Alternatively, you can use the --host command-line flag when starting Ollama, like this: ollama --host 0.0.0.0:11434.
• If you are using a Docker container, update the docker run command to include the -p flag, mapping the container port to the host port: docker run -p 11434:11434 ollama.

Example ollama.yml configuration:

host: 0.0.0.0:11434

Example command-line flag:

ollama --host 0.0.0.0:11434

Example Docker run command:

docker run -p 11434:11434 ollama

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, try accessing the Ollama API from another machine on the local network using a tool like curl:

curl http://<ollama-server-ip>:11434

Replace <ollama-server-ip> with the IP address of the machine running Ollama.

Extra Tips

Make sure to check the Ollama documentation for any specific configuration requirements for your version. Additionally, ensure that any firewalls or network security groups are configured to allow incoming traffic on port 11434.
