Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2507

I am building a python ai project inside a docker container an my windows PC. I was wondering if i could run the Ollama server on my Mac and connect to it from the Pc from inside that docker container how to actually achieve this. Still new to python and programming so any help would be much appreciated thanks.

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md

I don't use docker but probably something like this for ollama docker

docker run -d -v ollama:/root/.ollama -e OLLAMA_HOST="0.0.0.0" -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama

If you meant allow windows docker to access ollama you need to launch ollama with OLLAMA_HOST="0.0.0.0"
and that you expose the port

In your windows docker, you may need to create the container with host network

If I understand the original issue, you want to serve ollama from macOS without Docker and connect to it on Windows inside a container.

First, on your macOS system you need to allow Ollama to accept requests from any address by binding to 0.0.0.0. See the FAQ for now to do this on MacOS.

Then, in your container, set base URL to the macOS system's IP address. If you're using the Ollama Python or JS client libraries, setting the environment variable OLLAMA_HOST is sufficient. If you're using the API directly, make sure requests are being sent to http://<macos-address>:11434/
