Fix Ollama Connection & CORS Errors
Resolve the most common connection hurdles when pairing web apps with local Ollama daemons, including setting OLLAMA_ORIGINS across operating systems.
Key Capabilities & Architecture
- Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Explain how browsers isolate localhost requests and how to grant permissions.
- Platform Specific Fixes Exact commands for macOS launchctl, Windows PowerShell environment variables, and systemd.
How It Operates On Your Device
- Verify Ollama is Running: Open http://localhost:11434 in your browser — you should see "Ollama is running".
- Set OLLAMA_ORIGINS: Set `OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"` in your system environment and restart Ollama.
- Reload DomoNote: Click "Check Connection" in DomoNote Settings to confirm green status.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the native desktop app suffer from CORS issues?
- No. The native Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop builds communicate directly with Ollama without browser CORS restrictions.
