📄 Description

Goose only works with Ollama Cloud by proxying it through local ollama serve.

Goose does NOT support OLLAMA_API_KEY.
It does NOT use any .env (config is at ~/.config/goose/config.yaml and keys are stored in the OS keychain). Ollama Cloud MUST be proxied through the local ollama instance via ollama serve.

None of the OpenAi, Ollama, nor Custom Provider options work with Ollama Cloud directly in any configuration that I was able to test.

Here are some of those flows for reference:

Trying with any option other than Ollama and localhost lead to authentication errors.

In once case I did have a single working session using Custom Provider in the terminal, but when opening in Goose Desktop, or a second Goose CLI instance, it had the authentication errors.
