🛠️ Feature Request: Configurable Ollama Base URL

Team 150

Problem Statement

The current implementation has Ollama's base URL hardcoded to http://localhost:11434. This limits flexibility, especially for users who want to point to a self-hosted or remote Ollama instance rather than the default local setup.

Proposed Solution

Add an ollama-url input parameter to the GitHub Action configuration (action.yml). This parameter should allow users to specify a custom Ollama server URL. The action should use this input to determine the base URL for connecting to Ollama.

Acceptance Criteria

• Introduce a new ollama-url input in action.yml (with a suitable default if omitted).
• Update code to use the specified ollama-url for all Ollama API calls.
• Update documentation and README.md to explain how to set a custom Ollama URL.
• Add input validation and error handling for malformed or unreachable URLs.

Context / Motivation

Making Ollama's base URL configurable enables broader support for diverse CI/CD or on-premise deployments where the Ollama server may not be running on localhost.

Additional Notes

• Ensure the default (http://localhost:11434) is maintained for users who do not specify a value.
• Example usage in workflow:

  with:
    ollama-url: "http://my-ollama-server:11434"
