http://host.docker.internal:11434/ - Couldn't connect with these settings

[Antoine101]

Hi,
I followed the instructions to install the starter kit with docker compose and the special instructions to connect to my local Ollama (replacing the base URL by http://host.docker.internal:11434/ in the credentials).
After running docker compose up, it works fine for some time, I am able to choose the model I want (I see the models I have locally) and to query it. But after some time it simply stops working and the connection seems to be lost.
Going back to the credentials I see a red box panel with a message saying "Couldn't connect with these settings".

I stumbled upon a few threads that talk about this issue but they are not very clear.

Could somebody please help me figure this out?

Cheers

Antoine

Hi @Antoine101, I don't have enough information to help you just yet:

• Could you confirm that you also set OLLAMA_HOST to host.docker.internal:11434 in your .env file?
• Is Ollama still running?
• Is there anything in the logging that could help us debug what's going wrong at the time that it no longer working?
