When does this happen?

IF ChatOllama from langchain_ollama does not accept base_url parameter, causing connection errors when Ollama server is on a different host.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable OLLAMA_HOST to the desired base URL (e.g., http://<host>:<port>) before importing langchain_ollama. This must be done before any imports because the ollama client object is pre-created at import time. Alternatively, set the env var in your shell or system environment.

import os
os.environ["OLLAMA_HOST"] = "http://some_host:11434"
# Must be set before importing langchain_ollama
from langchain_ollama import ChatOllama
