I have Ollama installed on the same sort of machine. You should run the app, from the terminal or on the start menu. The app icon will be on the top menu

When the app is running all apps see it from within docker if its a dockerized app or you can run from the terminal

If you're still having trouble, please share the server log so we can investigate and I'll reopen.

I've encountered the same warning after I moved my Ollama from C desk to D desk. I solved the warning by adding the permission of Ollama in D desk.
