I’m using stock ollama and n8n containers.

Answer
First you need to run this command
docker inspect (ollama container id)Then find “IPAddress” and paste it into “Base URL” in n8n
Hey @buldrew hope all is good. Welcome to the community.

Thank you.
Containers on the default bridge network can only access each other by IP addresses. I suggest you create a custom network and make both containers join that network. This will allow them to reference each other by names.
Thank you anyway for trying to help me. I found an answer. I’ll update my post with it
The ip address may change between container reboots. Just thought you would want to know.
