Add support for specifying a custom IP address for Ollama connection #5
Description
Description
Currently, the program assumes that Ollama is running locally on port 11434 (e.g., localhost:11434).
However, in some setups, Ollama runs on a different machine within the same network or on a remote server.
It would be very helpful to have an option in the settings UI to manually specify an IP address (and optionally port) for Ollama instead of assuming localhost.
Proposed solution
Add a configuration field in the Ollama section allowing users to input a custom IP address and port (e.g., 192.168.1.100:11434).
Validate the input format and display an error if the connection cannot be established.
Fallback to default (localhost:11434) if no custom IP is provided.
Use case
This would enable users running Ollama remotely (e.g., on a dedicated local server or NAS) to connect without needing to proxy or mirror the port locally.
Example
Ollama host: 192.168.1.100
Port: 11434
