I'm unable to add ollama I'm running 2026.2.1

Third party integrations

When I try to add ollama with http://olama-server-ip:11434 I get Unexpected Error. There’s nothing in the supervisor logs. AI suggests installing ollama in a docker container. Is that really the only path forward? *** I am running ollama as a snap on an ubuntu machine. It turned out I needed to change the ollama host to allow remote access like this.

sudo snap stop ollama
sudo snap set ollama host=0.0.0.0:11434
sudo snap restart ollama

I can’t answer if that’s your only path because you’re basically telling me…I had an error huh?

What did yih try to do.
Exactly what happened. When did the error appear. Any logs. Etc? Need a LOT more to help.

Tbe ollama integration goes on your HA machine and connects to an ollama installation you have or have access to.

I tried to add the ollama integration. It asked for the hostname or ip address of my server. I entered http://server-ip:11434 and recieved the message “Unexpected error” if I enter server-ip:11434 I get invalid hostname or ip address. There’s nothing in the supervisor logs. If i try to contact the server from my main system using http://server-ip:11434 i get site cannot be reached. If I try http:127.0.0.1:11434 from the server i get ollama is running. I wish I’d though to do this
before I posted. Sounds like I need to allow remote access to ollama in it’s configuration. I’ll look into how to do that. If I manage I’ll mark this post complete.

Have you got an ollama instance running? The intergration is only a way for HA to connect to your ollama server. It is not a way to run ollama. This will need to be setup somewhere. It will also need a powerful pc to run it on.

Your troubleshooting to date says you can’t get to ollama. Look forward to seeing the results!

The issues is resolved. I needed to change ```
sudo snap set ollama host=0.0.0.0:11434
