Refer to Ollama's API documentation for more information about the service.
View n8n's Advanced AI documentation.
Using instance URL#
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- The Base URL of your Ollama instance.
The default Base URL is http://localhost:11434, but if you've set the OLLAMA_HOST environment variable, enter that value.
Refer to How do I configure Ollama server? for more information.
Ollama and self-hosted n8n#
If you're self-hosting n8n on the same machine as Ollama, you may run into issues if they're running in different containers.
For this setup, open a specific port for n8n to communicate with Ollama by setting the OLLAMA_ORIGINS variable or adjusting OLLAMA_HOST to an address the other container can access.
Refer to Ollama's How can I allow additional web origins to access Ollama? for more information.
