Endpoint checks
- Run curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags.
- Use host.docker.internal when Odysseus runs in Docker and Ollama runs on the host.
- Use /v1 in OpenAI-compatible provider settings when needed.

Odysseus Ollama Connection: Endpoints, Docker and Model Choice
Fix the model-provider boundary before changing random settings.
Independent guide. Unofficial. Verify commands against the official Odysseus sources before running them.
Day 2
Odysseus Ollama action map
Odysseus Ollama guide for localhost, host.docker.internal, /api/tags, /v1 and model selection.
Model path
- Pull a small model first.
- Upgrade only after chat works.
- Use paid GPU setup only when hardware can support the target model.
Endpoint matrix
- Native app plus native Ollama usually starts at localhost.
- Docker app plus host Ollama usually needs host.docker.internal.
- Phone browser access still talks to the Odysseus server, not directly to Ollama.
Symptoms and next clicks
- No models listed means test the endpoint tool first.
- Slow response means test a smaller model before blaming Odysseus.
- Connection refused means check whether Ollama is running and which network context is calling it.

No models appear in Odysseus.
First check whether Ollama responds outside Odysseus. Use /api/tags for basic Ollama health and the OpenAI-compatible /v1 path when configuring a compatible provider.
Next: Test the endpoint, then pull one small model.
localhost works in my browser but fails in Docker.
The browser is on the host; the Odysseus app may be inside a container. That changes what localhost means.
Next: Try the Docker-to-host route before changing model names.
The model is slow or GPU is not used.
Do not debug speed before connectivity. After the endpoint works, inspect model size, RAM, VRAM, Ollama logs and GPU runtime support.
Next: Start with a small model, then move to GPU cookbook only after chat works.
Editorial basis
Why this Odysseus Ollama page exists.
This page is written as a setup decision aid, not a copied README, transcript dump or doorway page.
Official source before shortcuts
Commands, download advice and risk warnings are anchored to the official repository, the official README and visible project behavior before any community shortcut is treated as usable.
What this page adds
It turns the Odysseus Ollama search into a specific route: source verification, one setup path, first-run evidence, safe support boundaries and the next internal guide when this page is not enough.
Who should use it
Use it when you need a plain-English decision path. If you are changing source code, packaging releases or reporting upstream bugs, move from this guide to the official source and issue tracker.
When it changes
Update this page when the official install route, default branch, setup scripts, login behavior, model-provider instructions or public-access guidance changes.
Next action
Do this before opening another search result.
Each page now gives a short route from search intent to a concrete setup action, so beginners can keep moving without random command changes.
- 01Check Ollama aloneConfirm Ollama responds before changing Odysseus settings.
- 02Pick the right URLUse localhost for native same-machine setup and host.docker.internal when Odysseus runs in Docker.
- 03Add one small modelPull one small model first so the first chat test is about connectivity, not GPU limits.
- 04Only then tune performanceDo GPU, model size and Cookbook work after the endpoint appears in Odysseus.

FAQ
Fast answers before setup support.
These answers target the common follow-up questions behind the current search query.
Use /v1 when configuring an OpenAI-compatible provider path. Use /api/tags when you are only checking whether Ollama responds.
The browser is on the host, but the Odysseus container has its own localhost. Use the Docker-to-host route.
Use one small model first. Large models add RAM, VRAM and download problems before you have proven the connection.
