I'm getting a "Ollama Version: Not Detected" and a "Open WebUI: Server Connection Error" after installing Webui on ubuntu with:
sudo docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434/api --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
Going on Settings > General > Ollama api url I have: http://localhost:11434/api
Running Ollama serve gives me:
Error: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: bind: address already in use
Going to http://127.0.0.1:11434/ I get presented with: Ollama is running
Going to http://localhost:11434/api gives me: 404 not found
But going to http://localhost:11434/api/version gives me: version: "0.1.25"
I also did sudo ufw disable to make sure it wasn't a firewall issue
I've tried this: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-linux
And doing sudo systemctl edit ollama.service gives me a file, like this:
### Editing /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf

I've tried also doing:
sudo docker stop open-webui
sudo docker rm -f open-webui
#variations of the install command
If I use curl:

Can someone tell me what do I have to do to fix this?
Apologies if I have got the wrong end of the stick. I don't know much about this.
I gather that you are running Ollama on your host machine and you are trying to access it on port 11434 at
host.docker.internal, which is a Docker Desktop feature I believe. I don't use Docker Desktop. However, if the goal is just to get this working then you can start by using Docker host network.The
--net=hostwill mean that the UI process will be able to access Ollama directly at 127.0.0.1:11434 on the host. Presumably this is what you are trying to do viahost.docker.internalin Docker Desktop.Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/.
Perhaps using Docker Compose would work well, with Ollama running in one service and the UI in another?
Adding in more options from the original question:
The
--rmoption has been removed since it is mutually exclusive with--restart always.To install and start Ollama on Linux you'd do something like:
It will download and install, then start the Ollama server.
