[Ubuntu + Docker CE] Linux onboarding for Ollama does not explain required container-reachable bind address #709

Description

Ollama is detected because localhost:11434 responds, but onboarding later fails because containers cannot reach host.openshell.internal:11434.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Start from an Ubuntu machine with Docker CE installed and running.
  2. Install Ollama.
  3. Start Ollama in a host-only way so it binds to loopback, for example using the default system service or any mode that results in:
    ss -ltnp | grep 11434
    showing:
    127.0.0.1:11434
  4. Verify that Ollama appears healthy from the host:
    curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
  5. Ensure at least one Ollama model exists, for example:
    ollama pull nemotron-3-nano:30b
    ollama list
  6. Run the NemoClaw installer:
    curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
  7. During onboarding:
    enter a valid sandbox name
    choose Local Ollama
    choose the available Ollama model
  8. Continue until onboarding reaches inference provider setup.

Environment

  • Openshell: 0.0.11
  • nemoclaw: 0.1.0 (main: dbfd78c)
  • OS: Ubuntu
  • Container runtime: Docker CE
  • GPU: Available
  • Ollama: Installed
