Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I recently spent an hour trying to figure how come none of my models are visible to open webui.
after googling posts, searching through issues, re-installing, I've finally figured that ollama simply isn't reachable to open webui
a lot of the steps in https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/803 could have been shortened if such a message would have been displayed upfront and center.
(turns out the IP given the open-ui container /etc/hosts file 172.17.0.1 was of docker0, not sure if this is a WSL issue or something else)

Describe the solution you'd like
if the fronted would simply display message that specify all the endpoints that are configured are not reachable or not responding
and disable the new chat option (cause who will you chat with?) it would easier to troubleshoot
