Can you share the server log? This sounds like a potential firewall/proxy issue.

Please make sure to update to the latest version, and if you're still having problems, share the server log and I'll reopen.

Hello, i have the same issue with Ollama v0.1.43 on win11 locally, my models work fine but i can't pull or run any new models I get=> pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: 401

I tried reinstalling, or install a previous version, it didn't help. I also have openwebui with docker on the pc, it works fine as well, but i can't add any new model. I don't understand what happened from one day to another....
I tried to disable my firewall and windows defender and try again but it didn't change anything.

same here on win11. Neither the docker- nor the windows-version is able to pull models.
After checking the system clock it worked for me 🤦

sure, after using ntpdate tool, system clock synchronization. The problem was solved.

I just turned my Firewall off and it worked!!! But I suggest to re-enable it after installing because ollama still works after that.

How did you check the system clock?

after getting Error: pull model manifest: 401 I ran these commands to sync the clock and everything worked

timedatectl status
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd
