+Edit the Ollama Service File: Open the Ollama service configuration file with the following command:
+    sudo systemctl edit ollama.service
+Add the Environment Variable: In the editor, add the following lines under the [Service] section:
+    [Service]
+    Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"
+Note #1: Sometimes, 0.0.0.0 does not work due to your environment setup. Instead, you can try setting it to your local ip address like 10.0.0.x or xxx.local, etc.
