I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
Deployed with ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama
nmap shows a single port open, the open-webui port 8080
nmap 172.17.0.3
Starting Nmap 7.97 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2026-03-10 10:02 +0100
Nmap scan report for 172.17.0.3
Host is up (0.00010s latency).
Not shown: 999 closed tcp ports (conn-refused)
PORT STATE SERVICE
8080/tcp open http-proxy
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.55 seconds
I expect to see Ollama's port (11434) exposed.
Desired Solution you'd like
Allow us to expose the Ollama port. I have tried -p 11434:11434, but nmap reveals 8080 is still the only active port.
I can find nothing in docs describing how to achieve this.

I think i have misunderstood interactions with Ollama. Here you have documented how to interact with open-webui via API, which is what I wanted to achieve:
I'll leave this here in case another palooka like myself asks the same question.
