# Ollama - Credential setup | Docs - nodulz

Source: https://nodulz.com/docs/credentials/ollama

Language: en

Credential type in nodulz : `ai:ollama`.

## Create access

Prepare an Ollama server and download your model. The local API generally needs no key; the nodulz form permits leaving it empty. For Cloud access, create a key in your account according to the official reference.

## Configure in nodulz

In your instance, open Credentials, select the type above, name the credential and complete these fields:

```text
apiKey, baseUrl - http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1
```

Save the credential, then select it on relevant nodes. URLs or parameters marked as node settings belong directly on that node.

## Things to check

127.0.0.1 refers to the backend machine or container, not automatically your computer. Use a URL reachable from that backend.

Verify an operation with expected permissions and data before publishing. Keep secrets out of logs and revoke them with the provider when no longer needed.
