What is the issue?

sorry for the bad english :(
i am not a native speaker

I run ollama on wsl2.
If I just use the commend "ollama serve" to start the ollama , I can't access to the ollama when I open the browser in windows and visit "localhost:11434".(ollama is accessable on wsl2)
I have set my environment in /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service but it doesn't work
1728368015006

However, it does work when I use the commend "export OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 ollama serve" before I start ollama.

what can I do if I want it just start at 0.0.0.0 as default.

OS

WSL2

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.3.12

Use systemctl start ollama. If you are running ollama serve from the command line, it will not use the variables you have assigned in /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service. If you run systemctl start ollama and ollama doesn't start or doesn't respond, run journalctl -u ollama --no-pager and post the result here.

请问这个命令具体是怎么运行的，我在linux部署的ollama（0.3.6）也遇到这个问题了，配置不起作用

I encounter with the some problem, but my ollama is running in the ubuntu with command line ./ollama serve
I have set OLLAMA_HOST = 0.0.0.0:11434 in the environment section as well
In this case, ollama running well and it can be visit with "localhost:11434" or "127.0.0.1:11434" , but can not be visited with the IPaddress:11434

If I run systemctl start ollama command line there is nothing happen( it looks like doesn't work)

the following are the "systemctl start ollama" command output
( is very long so I just show the latest output lines)

If you are running the server with ./ollama serve, it's not using the environment variables from the service configuration file. Do the following instead:

$ export OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434
$ ./ollama serve

Since you are not using the service, you can also stop systemd from trying to start it, which is why you are getting errors from systemctl start ollama:

$ sudo systemctl stop ollama

BTW: due to the big ollama install package, I download the install file and manually unzip file to install ollama rather than to run the online install script. I not sure this way is complete correctly

I encounter with the some problem, but my ollama is running in the ubuntu with command line ./ollama serve I have set OLLAMA_HOST = 0.0.0.0:11434 in the environment section as well In this case, ollama running well and it can be visit with "localhost:11434" or "127.0.0.1:11434" , but can not be visited with the IPaddress:11434 If I run` systemctl start ollama` command line there is nothing happen( it looks like doesn't work) the following are the "systemctl start ollama" command output ( is very long so I just show the latest output lines) ``` 11月 01 16:21:25 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12734]: ollama.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:25 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12734]: ollama.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:25 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC 11月 01 16:21:25 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. 11月 01 16:21:28 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 771. 11月 01 16:21:28 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: Stopped Ollama Service. 11月 01 16:21:29 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: Started Ollama Service. 11月 01 16:21:29 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12735]: ollama.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:29 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12735]: ollama.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:29 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC 11月 01 16:21:29 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 772. 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: Stopped Ollama Service. 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: Started Ollama Service. 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12752]: ollama.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[12752]: ollama.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/local/bin/ollama: Is a directory 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC 11月 01 16:21:32 ghost-Precision-3660 systemd[1]: ollama.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. ``` and the following are the "systemctl cat ollama" command output ``` ghost@ghost-Precision-3660:~$ systemctl cat ollama # /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service [Unit] Description=Ollama Service After=network-online.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ollama serve User=ollama Group=ollama Restart=always RestartSec=3 Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0" Environment="PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin" Environment="OLLAMA_MODELS=/home/ghost/ollama_model" [Install] WantedBy=default.target ``` BTW: due to the big ollama install package, I download the install file and manually unzip file to install ollama rather than to run the online install script.

If you are running the server with ./ollama serve, it's not using the environment variables from the service configuration file. Do the following instead:

$ export OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434
$ ./ollama serve

Since you are not using the service, you can also stop systemd from trying to start it, which is why you are getting errors from systemctl start ollama:

$ sudo systemctl stop ollama
