Not working with latest version of Ollama

[evcharger]

Hello, The latest version of web-ui does not seem to work with Ollama 0.6.8 - latest version as of now. I am getting an error that Ollama is not found. Previous versions of web-ui have no problems.

I got a little further by tracing the python ollama client code

https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui/pull/603

basically add OLLAMA_HOST as an env var into your web-ui container

Ok, now it works, but for some reason it refuses to use the specified model(available and downloaded on ollama machine) and triggers Ollama to start downloading (I have no idea what). I haven't traced to see what exactly its downloading and why.

@TheDynomike Adding the OLLAMA_HOST as an env var is what helped me fix my issue. Now I just gotta find out why ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY would be set to false by default and not true, or if it's slightly misleading and is referring to mean if it should send anonymized telemetry data or not send anything at all. 🕵️
