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

  1. Verify Ollama is Running: Open http://localhost:11434 in your browser — you should see "Ollama is running".
  2. Set OLLAMA_ORIGINS: Set `OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"` in your system environment and restart Ollama.
  3. Reload DomoNote: Click "Check Connection" in DomoNote Settings to confirm green status.
