Something is preventing Openweb UI from seeing Ollama through Docker. I have literally gone through every single post anywhere I can find about this. Much of the information relates to Linux, however, I am on a Windows 11 machine. I found one thing that sort of fixed the issue at:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/803

Specifically, this:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/803#discussioncomment-8520916

I keep models on a separate drive from the installs for Ollama and Docker. I'm not sure if this matters. Using the run docker command from the above comment makes a Docker instance in Docker Desktop I can see, but it doesn't provide port numbers. I'm not sure it's using my GPU, either. If I copy and run the command for GPU from the Openweb UI documentation, I get a bunch of the following errors:
ERROR [open_webui.routers.ollama] Connection error: Cannot connect to host localhost:11434 ssl:default [Connect call failed ('127.0.0.1', 11434)]

Openweb UI is also extremely slow. Ollama command line is near instantaneous using the same model. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
