Using Ollama in LobeVidol Ollama is a powerful framework for running large language models (LLMs) locally, supporting various models including Llama 2, Mistral, and more. Now, LobeVidol has integrated with Ollama, which means you can easily use the language models provided by Ollama in LobeVidol to enhance your applications. This document will guide you on how to use Ollama in LobeVidol:

​
Using Ollama on macOS

1

Install Ollama Locally

Download Ollama for macOS and unzip it to install.
2

Configure Ollama for Cross-Origin Access

Due to Ollama’s default configuration, it is set to allow local access only at startup, so cross-origin access and port listening require additional environment variable settings for OLLAMA_ORIGINS. Use launchctl to set the environment variable:
launchctl setenv OLLAMA_ORIGINS "*"
After completing the setup, you need to restart the Ollama application.

    Using Ollama on Linux

    1

    Install Ollama Locally

    [Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"
Environment="OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*"
    11

  • Save and exit.
  • Reload systemd and restart Ollama:
    • 12

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ollama

    Deploying Ollama Using Docker

    1

    Pull the Ollama Image
    2

    If you prefer to use Docker, Ollama also provides an official Docker image, which you can pull using the following command:
    3

    docker pull ollama/ollama
    4

    Configure Ollama for Cross-Origin Access
    5

    Due to Ollama’s default configuration, it is set to allow local access only at startup, so cross-origin access and port listening require additional environment variable settings for OLLAMA_ORIGINS.
    6

    If Ollama is running as a Docker container, you can add the environment variable to the docker run command.
    7

    docker run -d --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -e OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*" -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama

    Next, you can start interacting with the local LLM using LobeVidol.

    ​
    Installing Ollama Models

    Ollama supports various models, and you can view the list of available models in the Ollama Library and choose the appropriate model based on your needs.

    ​
    Installing in LobeVidol

    In LobeVidol, we have enabled some commonly used large language models by default, such as llama3, Gemma, Mistral, etc. When you select a model for interaction, we will prompt you to download that model. LobeVidol prompts to install Ollama model Once the download is complete, you can start the conversation.

    ​
    Pulling Models Locally with Ollama

    Of course, you can also install models by executing the following command in the terminal, using llama3 as an example: 
    ollama pull llama3

    ​
