Bug Report

WebUI could not connect to Ollama

Description

The open webui was unable to connect to Ollama, so I even uninstalled Docker and reinstalled it, but it didn't work. I have referred to the solution on the official website and tried it again, but it didn't work. https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/troubleshooting/

I also have this issue with Windows 11. When the webui is first started, it is normal, but after restarting the computer, it cannot connect to Ollama even when starting through Docker Desktop

Bug Summary:
WebUI could not connect to Ollama

Steps to Reproduce:
I have a newly installed server with the following configurations:

Ubuntu 23.10
Followed the official installation guide for Ollama, and installed the Gemma model.
Installed Docker using the command

sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io.

Run Open WebUI using the command line:

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Expected Behavior:
Connect Ollama normally in webui and select the model

Actual Behavior:
WebUI could not connect to Ollama

Environment

Ubuntu 23
window11
