Connecting to a host only providing /api

[lomenzel]

The settings page checks if the response to https://example.com is "Ollama is running". i have a setup where example.com is hosting an ollama web frontend and the reverseproxy proxypasses example.com/api to the ollama service. the result is, that the ollama app refuses the host, but it could use it

I have the same problem

I'm using OpenWeb UI and ran into the same issue.

But it seems like https://{openweb-ui-instance}/ollama/ always responds with {"status":true} no matter if Ollama integration is active or not, or if the users authorization headers are valid.

It would be great to be able to use this app even with Ollama API published behind a proxy application like OpenWeb UI

I hacked this together for myself. If you temporarily reverse proxy both the root path / and the ollama path /ollama/ to your Ollama instance you can convince the app to accept the settings. Then restore the reverse proxying to openwebui and it will continue working.

I agree this would make this app a lot more practical. I use openwebui to consolidate all my various ai accounts and local LLMs. It would be amazing to have that all in one phone app
