OpenWebUI does not show any models on NAS

Hello,

I'm running Ollama on my Windows PC which is connected to Tailscale. Downloaded following models:

- Gemma4:26b

- llama3

Cmd command Ollama list shows these two models and also working via Ollama run Gemma4:26b and llama3 on my PC.

I added port 11434 TCP protocol as a new rule in firewall.

Also in environment variabels added:

- OLLAMA_HOST: 0.0.0.0

- OLLAMA_ORIGINS: *

If I go to my phone and typ in the URL: [Tailscale pc ipadress]:11434 it shows: Ollama is running.

Then I went to my NAS (Also connected to Tailscale).

Installed the OpenWebUI container and did the following:

- auto restart.

- Port settings 3000 / 8080 / TCP

-VOLUME selected/docker/open-webui and fill in /app/backend/data read/write.

- Environment:

OLLAMA_BASE_URL: http://[pc Tailscale ip]:11434

Then minus (deleted) the following because it was empty:

- use_refranking_model

- OPEN_API_BASE_URL

- OPEN_API_KEY

- WEBUI_SECRET_KEY

- RAG_RERANKING_MODEL

Network I chose Bridge (also tried Host, but no difference)

Container runs and go to NAS IP:3000 and login, but it doesn't show any models.

If I go to settings/connections within openui it says WebUI will do requests to "htttp://[pc Tailscale ip]:11434/api/chat.

I tried toggling Direct connections, but no difference either.

Am I doing something wrong and if so could someone please help me out. Would like to access the AI model via the NAS so I can acces it anywhere via Tailscale.
