+### 🛠️ Bring Your Own Ollama (BYO Ollama)
+
+If Ollama is running on the **host machine** or another server on your network, follow these steps.
+
+#### Step 1: Check Available Models
+
+- If Ollama is **local**, run:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl http://localhost:11434/v1/models
+  ```
+
+- If Ollama is **remote**, use:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl http://<remote-ip>:11434/v1/models
+  ```
+
+This confirms that Ollama is available and lists the available models.
+
+#### Step 2: Set the OLLAMA_BASE_URL
+
+If Ollama is running **remotely** or on the host, set the following environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export OLLAMA_HOST=<remote-ip>:11434
+```
+
+This ensures Open WebUI can reach the remote Ollama instance.
+
+#### Step 3: Download Llama 3.2
+
+From your local or remote machine, run:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull llama3.2
+```
+
+**Tip:** Use this command to download the 8-bit version from Hugging Face:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull hf.co/bartowski/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-GGUF:Q8_0
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Access the WebUI
+
+You can now access the WebUI at:
+
+[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
