# Ollama Web UI Troubleshooting Guide
## Understanding the Ollama WebUI Architecture
## Understanding the Open WebUI Architecture
The Ollama WebUI system is designed to streamline interactions between the client (your browser) and the Ollama API. At the heart of this design is a backend reverse proxy, enhancing security and resolving CORS issues.
The Open WebUI system is designed to streamline interactions between the client (your browser) and the Ollama API. At the heart of this design is a backend reverse proxy, enhancing security and resolving CORS issues.
- **How it Works**: The Ollama WebUI is designed to interact with the Ollama API through a specific route. When a request is made from the WebUI to Ollama, it is not directly sent to the Ollama API. Initially, the request is sent to the Ollama WebUI backend via `/ollama/api` route. From there, the backend is responsible for forwarding the request to the Ollama API. This forwarding is accomplished by using the route specified in the `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL` environment variable. Therefore, a request made to `/ollama/api` in the WebUI is effectively the same as making a request to `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL` in the backend. For instance, a request to `/ollama/api/tags` in the WebUI is equivalent to `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL/tags` in the backend.

- **Security Benefits**: This design prevents direct exposure of the Ollama API to the frontend, safeguarding against potential CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues and unauthorized access. Requiring authentication to access the Ollama API further enhances this security layer.
## Ollama WebUI: Server Connection Error
## Open WebUI: Server Connection Error
If you're experiencing connection issues, it’s often due to the WebUI docker container not being able to reach the Ollama server at 127.0.0.1:11434 (host.docker.internal:11434) inside the container . Use the `--network=host` flag in your docker command to resolve this. Note that the port changes from 3000 to 8080, resulting in the link: `http://localhost:8080`.

1. **Verify Ollama URL Format**:
- When running the Web UI container, ensure the `OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL` is correctly set, including the `/api` suffix. (e.g., `http://192.168.1.1:11434/api` for different host setups).
- In the Ollama WebUI, navigate to "Settings" > "General".
- In the Open WebUI, navigate to "Settings" > "General".
- Confirm that the Ollama Server URL is correctly set to `[OLLAMA URL]/api` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434/api`), including the `/api` suffix.
