how can i use ollama models in openui

[zhjygit]

my openui is in ubuntu18 vmware workstation like 192.168.1.169,my ollama and models is in physical host like 192.168.1.103. how can i use ollama models in openui of vmware workstation.

[zhjygit]

Finally, i download my openui and ollama on the physical host like 192.168.1.103,my ollama is running fine at 11434, i have pull llama3、llava models. i don't use docker in the whole process.

As above shown, i can run the openui, however, i have no open_api_key，i don't known how to pass the key to the OPEN_API_KEY, as to the ollama, where is the OPEN_API_KEY?
Whether does the openui support local models OPEN_API_KEY?

I have oneapi or open-webui in the vmware host like 192.168.1.169, maybe i can pass a api-key from oneapi,but how can i pass the host 192.168.1.169 of oneapi host to the openui?

No need for an API key. Just set OLLAMA_HOST and choose a model from the settings pane.

I do not have an OpenAI API Key but do have my own ollama instance. If I remove the OPENAI_API_KEY var and set OLLAMA_HOST var to my ollama URL, the container fails to start, complaining about not having the openai_api_key var set or something.

no no no, i don't use openui docker, just run the openui docker locally.
If i do not set openai_api_key, python -m openui will not run with error like :openaierror,the api_key client option must be set either by passing api_key to the client or by setting the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

I don't know if you have solved your problem already, but it seems similar to this issue. The solution worked for me.
