Same issue, no matter what is in the file it reverts to localhost only.

/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf:1: Assignment outside of section. Ignoring.

There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to get ollama running as a service to listen on all interfaces on macOS Sequoia. launchctl setenv OLLAMA_HOST "0.0.0.0" doesn't work.

What does work is going to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.6.0 or whatever the current version is, and editing the homebrew.mxcl.ollama.plist to include:

    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>OLLAMA_HOST</key>
        <string>0.0.0.0</string>
    </dict>

Then do a brew services restart ollama.

But this isn't a great solution.

Literally the only thing that worked for me after hours of poking at it

I think you have to do OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 ollama serve right now.

Same issue on macOS 15.3.2 and ollama version 0.6.6. The plist modifications worked for me.

The latest version of the Mac app include a configuration screen now to simplify exposing ollama on the local network.

OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 ollama serve

This is the (better) answer (from tianqizhao-louis). This also allows you to set other variables such as:
OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=64000 OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434 ollama serve

(which i made an alias so I don't have to remember it :-)
