Ollama
Using Ollama with Nexus
Availability depends on your school's enabled tools, provider setup, and account permissions. These settings are managed in the web workspace. A class policy may restrict a feature described here.
Guide#
Configure Nexus to use models served by Ollama.
Setup Ollama and Deploy your Models#
The Ollama GitHub repository details how to download and deploy models on Ollama.
If self-hosting, Ollama is configured to run on port 11434 by default.
You can also configure Nexus to use Ollama's managed cloud service.
Navigate to Language Models#
Access the Admin Panel from your user profile icon, then navigate to Configuration → Language Models.
Configure Ollama#
Select Ollama from the available providers.
Give your provider a Display Name.
If using Ollama Cloud, enter your Ollama Cloud API Key.
Click the Fetch Available Models button to see the models available in your Ollama instance.
Choose Visible Models#
In the Advanced Options, you will see a list of all models available from this provider. You may choose which models are visible to your users in Nexus.
Setting visible models is useful when a provider publishes multiple models and versions of the same model.
Designate Provider Access#
Lastly, decide whether the provider should be public to all users in Nexus.
If set to private, the provider's models will be available to Admins and User Groups you explicitly assign the provider to.
