+# ollama
+
+Local LLM + embedding runtime for the homelab. CPU-only deployment on
+herbydev (no GPU). Reachable as `ollama:11434` from containers on the
+shared `homelab` Docker network. Loopback `127.0.0.1:11434` on the host.
+
+## Pulled models
+
+| Model | Purpose | Pulled | Notes |
+|-------|---------|--------|-------|
+| `nomic-embed-text` | OB1 embedding model | 2026-05-14 | 768-dim, ~137MB; replaced OpenRouter `text-embedding-3-small` (1536-d) |
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f compose.yml up -d
+docker exec ollama ollama list             # pulled models
+docker exec ollama ollama pull <model>     # add a model
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/embeddings \
+  -d '{"model":"nomic-embed-text","prompt":"hello world"}' | jq '.embedding | length'
+```
+
+## Consumers
+
+- **ob1-mcp** — embeddings + metadata extraction. Reaches Ollama as
+  `http://ollama:11434` via the `homelab` network.
