Originally created by @bmizerany on GitHub (Aug 2, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/261

I'd like to run ollama serve somewhere other than where I am running my client. I'd like to propose a OLLAMA_HOST environment variable which is picked up by api.NewClient if no other hosts are specified in the hosts param.

I have a patch locally I'm happy to convert to a PR if anyone thinks this has legs the team is open to it.

This is already possible through OLLAMA_HOST and OLLAMA_PORT when starting the server. The server can be access with any HTTP client on this separate host/port but the client only uses 127.0.0.1:11434 (for now)

I'm proposing changing it so that clients (including the CLI) can access an Ollama server running on a remote server, and by way of setting OLLAMA_HOST=https://example.com. Would a change like that be welcome?

Maybe keeping OLLAMA_HOST/POST for ollama serve and clients can honor a OLLAMA_BASE_URL=https://example.com?

maybe OLLAMA_CLIENT_HOST just to be explicit? I like the change though.
