Tillarr

Ollama, up, and not open to the internet.

WatchOllama · Local AI modelsWatched for free, with no key

Ollama's API has no sign-in: whoever reaches it can run, pull and delete models. Tillarr asks its root, which says "Ollama is running", and never sends a key.

On your network or a VPN that's how Ollama is meant to run, so it reads Up. At an address outside them it reads Unprotected, with what to do.

How Tillarr shows Ollama without a key, with example values.

What you see

  • Whether it answers, how quickly, and which address answered
  • A tap to open its own web page
  • A warning when it answers anyone at an address outside your network

Connect Ollama

What to have ready when you add it in Tillarr.

  1. Its address. Usually http://your-server:11434. Add a remote address too, and Tillarr uses it when home doesn't answer.
  2. Nothing else. Watching needs no key and no login, so it's free and can't change anything in Ollama.

Good to know

  • Keep Ollama on your network or a VPN like Tailscale. If it has to be reachable from outside, put it behind a proxy that asks for a login.
  • Ollama listens on 11434, and only on this machine unless OLLAMA_HOST says otherwise.

How Tillarr checks Ollama

Without a key, Tillarr asks for / to see that Ollama is up. Every request goes from your device straight to your server, never through us.

Questions

Does Tillarr need an Ollama key?

No. Ollama has none, which is why Tillarr watches where it answers.

What counts as outside my network?

Any address but this machine, a home network's ranges, Tailscale's 100.64.0.0/10, and names under .local, .lan, .home.arpa or .ts.net.

Can I chat through Tillarr?

No. Tap Ollama, or Open WebUI in front of it, to open it.
