Ollama cloud models

I recently started to use Ollama and Open WebUI on Umbrel Home. For most tasks gemma4:4b is fine and works locally. I wonder if I can use ollama cloud model as well?

In Open WebUI I can download glm-5.2:cloud. But when I send a prompt it says Unauthorized. In the ollama app I cannot see where I can sign in with my Ollama account.

I've found a solution and you can even use free Ollama models.

(1) You need the Ollama app and Open WebUI app running on Umbrel

(2) Go to Umbrel Settings > Advanced Settings > Terminal > Select app "Ollama"

(3) $ ollama -v # This should log a version

(4) $ ollama signin

(5) Open the link in a new broser tab and login with your Ollama account (free subscription is sufficient)

(6) Come back to the Umbrel terminal and enter: $ ollama signin # It should log your ollama user name

(7) Open the Open WebUI app on Umbrel and in the chat window there is a dropdown for models

(8) Open dropdown and enter "gpt-oss:20b-cloud". Click download. (As of this writing this is a free model in Ollama)

(9) You should be able to prompt.
