Code Review
This pull request does a great job of integrating Ollama, adding configuration, health checks, and comprehensive documentation. The code is well-structured, and the new endpoints are a valuable addition for monitoring and testing the Ollama integration.
My review includes a few suggestions to improve type safety by avoiding any, enhance error handling to prevent potential information leaks, and increase the reliability of model response parsing. I've also pointed out some minor inconsistencies in the new documentation to ensure it aligns perfectly with the code's behavior.
Overall, this is a solid contribution that significantly enhances the project's capabilities.

Catching errors as any is not type-safe in modern TypeScript. More importantly, sending the entire error object in the response can leak sensitive information like stack traces or system paths in a production environment. It's recommended to type the error as unknown, perform type checks (e.g., using axios.isAxiosError), log the full error on the server for debugging, and send a more generic, safe error message to the client.
} catch (error: unknown) {
if (axios.isAxiosError(error) && (error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED' || error.code === 'ECONNRESET')) {
SendResponse.error(
res,
'Ollama server is not running. Please start it using: ollama serve',
503,
{ host: env.OLLAMA_HOST }
)
} else {
console.error('Failed to connect to Ollama:', error); // Log the full error for server-side debugging
SendResponse.error(res, 'Failed to connect to Ollama. Check server logs for details.', 500);
}
}

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The latency is hardcoded as '< 1s'. While the comment acknowledges this, it would be more useful to measure and return the actual latency of the model's response. This provides more accurate diagnostic information. You can achieve this by recording the time before and after the OllamaService.generateText call, for example using performance.now().

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Piping curl directly to sh can be a security risk, as it executes a remote script without inspection. For better security, it's recommended to advise users to download the script first, review its contents, and then execute it locally.
Example of a safer approach:
# Download the script
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh -o install.sh
# (Optional but recommended) Inspect the script
less install.sh
# Execute the script
sh install.sh| curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags | ||

| ### Issue: "Model 'llama3' is not installed" |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The error message documented here (Model 'llama3' is not installed) does not match the error message implemented in src/api/v1/Ai-model/Ollama/Ollama.utils.ts, which is Model '${modelName}' is not install Please install it.. It's important to keep documentation consistent with the application's behavior to avoid confusion during troubleshooting. Please update either the documentation or the error message in the code for consistency (and fix the typo 'install' -> 'installed').

Pull request overview
This PR completes the Ollama AI integration by adding environment-based configuration, health check endpoints, and comprehensive setup documentation. It removes hardcoded URLs and provides a robust foundation for local LLM functionality.
- Introduced environment variables (OLLAMA_HOST, OLLAMA_DEFAULT_MODEL) to replace hardcoded URLs
- Added three new API endpoints for Ollama status checking, model listing, and model testing
- Created comprehensive 360+ line setup guide covering installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and API usage

There is an inconsistency in the Ollama URL. The README.md uses "ollama.ai" while the documentation file (OLLAMA_SETUP.md) uses "ollama.com" for official links (installation, downloads, docs, library). Based on the documentation's extensive use of ollama.com, the URL in README.md should likely be updated to https://ollama.com to maintain consistency across the project.

| }, |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The testModel endpoint returns a hardcoded latency value "< 1s" which is misleading and not accurate. The comment on line 87 acknowledges this could be measured accurately. Consider either removing the latency field entirely or implementing actual latency measurement by recording the start and end time of the model invocation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The testModel method doesn't validate whether the model parameter is provided or check if the model exists before attempting to test it. This could lead to unhelpful error messages if a user provides an invalid or non-existent model name. Consider adding validation similar to the ChartWithOllama method which calls OllamaUtils.isModelAvailable to check model availability before use.

The new controller methods checkOllamaStatus, listModels, and testModel lack test coverage. The existing test file only covers OllamaService.getVector and OllamaUtils.isModelAvailable. Given that other modules in the codebase (such as user.test.ts) have comprehensive endpoint testing, consider adding tests for these new endpoints to ensure error handling, response formats, and edge cases are properly validated.
