Start Ollama Server

ollama serve

API Usage

  • The backend service connects to Ollama's API at http://localhost:11434 by default.
  • This URL can be configured via the OLLAMA_API_URL environment variable in app/backend/.env.
  • Ensure Ollama is running before using narration features in the app.

Configuration

  • The Ollama API URL is configured in app/backend/.env: 
    OLLAMA_API_URL=http://localhost:11434
  • The startup.sh script automatically creates this file from sample.env.txt if it doesn't exist.

Troubleshooting

  • If the backend cannot connect, verify Ollama is running and accessible at the configured port.
  • Check the OLLAMA_API_URL value in app/backend/.env matches your Ollama server address.
  • Review backend logs for connection error details.
