How to deploy ragflow without internet

[passoion]

I already deployed Ragflow using“ $ docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d” while connected to the internet，and the system is running just fine. I was able to add the Ollama model without any issues.But ultimately.

I want to use RAGflow on a local network without any internet connection.After I disconnected from the internet and logged back into RAGflow, I found that I could no longer add ollama models. How can I fix this issue?

Hi @passoion! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the ragflow team.

RAGflow can't add Ollama models offline because it relies on the Ollama service to provide models via its HTTP API. If the Ollama model wasn't pulled (downloaded) before disconnecting from the internet, RAGflow can't access or add it. To use RAGflow and Ollama fully offline, you need to:

1. While still online, pull all the Ollama models you want to use with commands like ollama pull llama3.2 (replace with your model names).
2. Make sure the Ollama service is running and reachable from RAGflow on your local network. If both are running in Docker on the same host, use the URL http://host.docker.internal:11434/v1 in RAGflow's model provider settings. If they're on different machines, use the appropriate local IP address and port.
3. After going offline, RAGflow will only be able to add and use models that are already present in the local Ollama instance. There is no way to add models from local files directly in RAGflow; all model management is handled by Ollama itself.

If you see "No data" in the UI, it usually means RAGflow can't reach the Ollama service or the requested model isn't available locally. Double-check that the models are pulled and the service is running and accessible on your LAN. For more details and step-by-step instructions, see the official deploy local LLM guide and FAQ.

In order to allow all users on the local area network to access RAGFlow, I modified the port settings.
