Hello : )
How can I use n8n tools like gmail with a locally hosted ollama, for example llama 3 or deepseek R1 8b

I always get an error message when I use ollama

Which llms would work for the tool?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

There’s not enough detail or context in your question, but I can assume you’re using n8n running in Docker and ollama running locally. You’ll probably need to use the url http://docker.host.internal:11434 instead of http://localhost. Otherwise please provide more detail

the connection to ollama with llama3 or deepseek works. However, as soon as I want to integrate a tool in the dashboard, the error appears.
“registry does not support tools n8n ollama”

the gmail tool for sending and receiving,for example does not work with ollama

my ollama runs locally on a mac mini 16gb ram and n8n on a synology nas, all within the network.
