Ollapa

An Ollama client built with Svelte 5 and SvelteKit. Chat completely local and client-side with a friendly interface!

Visit ollapa.chat

[!IMPORTANT] You can interact with the chat client directly at the URL above, but you must first configure your locally-running Ollama server. See below.

Configure Your Ollama Server

First, you must have Ollama installed.

Then, you must have at least one model installed. Example:

ollama pull llama3.2

Finally, if you are accessing Ollapa client from the web at https://ollapa.chat, you must set the OLLAMA_ORIGINS environment variable on your local machine so that your locally running Ollama REST API server accepts connections from the external domain https://ollapa.chat. Instructions for macOS, Linux, and Windows are as follows:

macOS

Use launchctl to set the environment variable.

launchctl setenv OLLAMA_ORIGINS "https://ollapa.chat"

Linux

1. Open the service file.

systemctl edit ollama.service

2. Edit the [Service] section to set the environment variable.

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_ORIGINS=https://ollapa.chat"

3. Restart the service.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart-ollama

Windows

1. Quit Ollama from the taskbar.

2. Press Start and type environment variables.

3. Click Edit the environment variables.

4. Click Environment Variables....

5. Under System variables, click New....

6. For Variable name, enter OLLAMA_ORIGINS.

7. For Variable value, enter https://ollapa.chat.

8. Click OK on each window to save the settings and close them.

9. Open a new (close out of any already-open) terminal and run ollama serve.
