    environment:
      - WEAVIATE_URL_VERBA=http://weaviate:8080
      - OLLAMA_URL=$OLLAMA_URL
      - OLLAMA_MODEL=$OLLAMA_MODEL
      - OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL=$OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL

    volumes:
      - ./data:/data/
    depends_on:
      weaviate:
        condition: service_healthy
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=3 --spider http://localhost:8000 || exit 1
      interval: 5s

      - ollama-docker

  weaviate:

      - --port

      - --scheme
      - http
    image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.25.10
    ports:

      - 3000:8080
    volumes:

    restart: on-failure:0
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=3 --spider http://localhost:8080/v1/.well-known/ready || exit 1
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 5

    networks:
      - ollama-docker

volumes:
  weaviate_data:
      
networks:
  ollama-docker:
    external: false

```

The Ollama server is tested and working and accessible from the docker container:

```auto
root@bca9b399b5a4:/Verba# curl https://ollama.<DOMAIN_FOR_TUNNEL>
Ollama is running

```

Upon loading of the dashboard, I selected “docker” as the deployment from the selection.

### Server Setup Information

- Weaviate Server Version: [weaviate:1.25.10]
- Deployment Method: docker
