Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:
I run docker compose up -d --build and am able to view the gui at http://localhost:3000/. However, no model shows up in the dropdown.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. On Windows, start Docker desktop
  2. After cloning repo, run docker compose up -d --build after navigating to it
  3. Open up http://localhost:3000/

Expected Behavior:
Attempt to select model from the drop-down.

Actual Behavior:
No model appears.

Environment

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox 121.0

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • I have reviewed the troubleshooting.md document. <<-- I'm not running webui and ollama separately AFAIK so should just work?
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.

Hi! If you haven't downloaded the models, you'll have to pull the models first! Is it still not showing after you downloaded the models?

I'm probably missing something (or maybe the instruction is unclear), but doesn't this say that running docker compose up -d --build installs the model as well?

Anyways, that's probably a separate issue, but if I download the model, where do I install the model to when I run the docker container?

Thanks

Hi! Ollama does not include models when you first install them, you can download the model by going to the settings > models in the webui. There's also a demo gif demonstrating how you can pull a model in the readme.md. Thanks!
