What is the issue?

Hi,
This is My Dockerfile in Which I am Using the Ollama Base Image

FROM ollama/ollama:0.1.32 AS OllamaServer
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . . 
EXPOSE 11434
ENV OLLAMA_HOST 0.0.0.0
ENV OLLAMA_ORIGINS=http://0.0.0.0:11434
RUN nohup bash -c "ollama serve &" && sleep 5 && ollama create llama3-custom -f /usr/src/app/model/Modelfile

I am Trying to Deploy this Image as a Container on a Remote VM Instance Deployed on Google Cloud Platform.
Now the Problem is that When I Try to Make a curl request in order to do a generation/chat request from my Local Machine the Operation Times Out . Here I use the Remote VM IP:Port for the Generation Request.

Now the Same Thing If I try to do within the Remote VM via curl localhost:11434, then the Request is Successfull and there is No Operation Time Out.

Can You Advise What Can Be Done On this ? I am Using the Appropriate ENV Variables as Suggested to Bind On all the Network Interfaces

OS

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

GPU

No response

CPU

Intel, AMD

Ollama version

0.1.32

I tried a slight variation of this and was unable to reproduce the failure you described.

% cat Dockerfile
FROM ollama/ollama:0.1.32 AS OllamaServer
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
EXPOSE 11434
ENV OLLAMA_HOST 0.0.0.0
ENV OLLAMA_ORIGINS=http://0.0.0.0:11434
RUN nohup bash -c "ollama serve &" && sleep 5 && ollama pull orca-mini
% docker build -t foo .
...build output...
% docker run --rm -it -p 11434:11434 foo

Then in another terminal

% ollama ls
NAME                    ID              SIZE    MODIFIED
orca-mini:latest        2dbd9f439647    2.0 GB  28 seconds ago

@dhiltgen
Thanks for your Prompt Reply Daniel. I am also able to get it working now.
The issue was that the Firewall rule on the VM For Ingress and Egress on Port 11434 was not configured properly and after making the required change, it started to work
Thanks
