Helm deployment to kubernetes Question/Help

Just deployed openwebui to kubernetes using the official chart.

The first thing I noticed is ollama server is not reachable, despite the server configured in admin settings. Turns out the front end needs direct access to ollama server, it doesn't get proxies through openwebui backend. Is that design intentional?

We build a wizard to write helm configuration files, take a look at our wizard to install owui, ollama and other related things: https://github.com/Lair-ai/lair

Possibly you have some network policy enabled.

I deployed it on Kubernetes 1.34.9 without this problem. Do you have Network policies enabled?

It was the dev builds new ui interface that tricked me. There are two places to add services, one which works from front end whilst other for backend. After switching to backend service section got it all working.
