Troubleshooting
No models available / cannot connect to Ollama
- Verify Ollama is running on LXC 107:
ssh [email protected] "systemctl status ollama" - Check Open WebUI can reach Ollama: from LXC 122,
curl http://192.168.1.107:11434/api/tags - Check Open WebUI logs for connection errors
UI loads but AI responses fail
- Check Ollama logs for model loading errors:
ssh [email protected] "journalctl -u ollama -n 50" - Verify the selected model is pulled:
ssh [email protected] "ollama list"
