Not able to connect to local ollama server

[Hyphaed]

Have you deleted the option to connect alpaca to local Ollama server?

I do not see the option anymore inside Preferences

I didn’t find it either. I downloaded Ollama locally and wanted to connect to it

Hey there, so I actually came across this tool recently but I was able to connect to my already existing local ollama server.

If you go to the "Preferences" window, you should see "Use Remote Connection to Ollama." When you toggle that to enable it, you should be prompted to pass in the connection information to connect to your ollama instance or wherever it exists.

In my case, I have Ollama installed locally on my computer, and its API is listening on "localhost." Therefore, here is what I put in, and I can use it locally.

The "localhost" documentation can be found in Ollama's readmes

Hopefully, this will help you connect the tool to your local instance.

Yeah in previous versions there was an entry widget to input the ip address directly from the preferences menu, that's now done through that new dialog, just switch on 'Use Remote Connection to Ollama'
