I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but there are existing patterns that start Ollama automatically.

Based on your "docker php init" I'm assuming a Docker based solution, so typically this would involve setting up multiple containers and networking so they can communicate with each other. You can set this up manually, or via Docker Compose, Kubernetes, etc. From within your PHP container, you would access the Ollama server running in the other container by it's local name.
