How to connect Ollama to EchoFlow on Android

Prerequisites

• Ollama installed and running on a PC or server on your network
• At least one model pulled in Ollama (ollama pull llama3 etc.)
• Phone and host on the same trusted Wi‑Fi (or VPN)

Steps

1. Find your PC's local IP (e.g. 192.168.1.42)
2. Ensure Ollama listens on the network interface (check Ollama docs for OLLAMA_HOST)
3. In EchoFlow → Settings → add a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint pointing to your Ollama URL
4. Add a model name matching your Ollama model tag
5. Start a chat and verify responses

Security

Do not expose Ollama to the public internet without authentication. Use home LAN or a secured VPN. See custom endpoints for broader self-hosted guidance.

Common questions

Do I need the same Wi‑Fi network?

Usually yes. Your phone and Ollama host must be on the same LAN unless you use a VPN that routes traffic between them.

What URL do I use?

Typically http://YOUR_PC_IP:11434/v1 with an OpenAI-compatible path—confirm in Ollama docs for your version.
