What are you trying to do?

Improve the user experience for allowing website access to Ollama models. Currently, users are required to run terminal commands to get this working. If the user restarts their computer they have to run these commands again, which is not ideal.

How should we solve this?

Add configurations directly within the Ollama app to manage which websites or Chrome extensions can have access to Ollama.

What is the impact of not solving this?

Makes it much harder for the average person to figure out how to run Ollama models with a website or Chrome extension.

Anything else?

I'm using Ollama with my web app and Chrome extension, JobJette (jobjette.com), an AI job search copilot. I have a dedicated page with setup instructions to get Ollama installed with an AI model and connected to both the website and Chrome extension. These required setup instructions are too complicated for the average user to accomplish because they require running terminal commands.

I'm already using these terminal commands, which is fine for developers, but for the average person I'd like to simplify the setup process for connecting to websites or Chrome extensions by including some configuration settings for this directly within the Ollama app.
