From e6bcdea641baa84e1844df85786aa397dec95457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sepehr Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 22:28:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix: remove hardcoded localhost fallbacks, require explicit config MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Critical fix for Docker deployment where AI features were trying to connect to localhost:11434 instead of using configured provider (Ollama Docker service or OpenAI). Problems fixed: 1. Reformulation (clarify/shorten/improve) failing with ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:11434 2. Auto-labels failing with same error 3. Notebook summaries failing 4. Could not switch from Ollama to OpenAI in admin Root cause: - Code had hardcoded fallback to 'http://localhost:11434' in multiple places - .env.docker file not created on server (gitignore'd) - No validation that required environment variables were set Changes: 1. lib/ai/factory.ts: - Remove hardcoded 'http://localhost:11434' fallback - Only use localhost for local development (NODE_ENV !== 'production') - Throw error if OLLAMA_BASE_URL not set in production 2. lib/ai/providers/ollama.ts: - Remove default parameter 'http://localhost:11434' from constructor - Require baseUrl to be explicitly passed - Throw error if baseUrl is missing 3. lib/ai/services/paragraph-refactor.service.ts: - Remove 'http://localhost:11434' fallback (2 locations) - Require OLLAMA_BASE_URL to be set - Throw clear error if not configured 4. app/(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx: - Add debug info showing current provider state - Display database config value for transparency - Help troubleshoot provider selection issues 5. DOCKER-SETUP.md: - Complete guide for Docker configuration - Instructions for .env.docker setup - Examples for Ollama Docker, OpenAI, and external Ollama - Troubleshooting common issues Usage: On server, create .env.docker with proper provider configuration: - Ollama in Docker: OLLAMA_BASE_URL="http://ollama:11434" - OpenAI: OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." - External Ollama: OLLAMA_BASE_URL="http://SERVER_IP:11434" Then in admin interface, users can independently configure: - Tags Provider (for auto-labels, AI features) - Embeddings Provider (for semantic search) Result: ✓ Clear errors if Ollama not configured ✓ Can switch to OpenAI freely in admin ✓ No more hardcoded localhost in production ✓ Proper separation between local dev and Docker production Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- .../(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx | 10 +++++++++- keep-notes/lib/ai/factory.ts | 11 ++++++++++- keep-notes/lib/ai/providers/ollama.ts | 5 ++++- .../lib/ai/services/paragraph-refactor.service.ts | 14 ++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/keep-notes/app/(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx b/keep-notes/app/(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx index 211b869..3ae69d0 100644 --- a/keep-notes/app/(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx +++ b/keep-notes/app/(main)/admin/settings/admin-settings-form.tsx @@ -300,7 +300,12 @@ export function AdminSettingsForm({ config }: { config: Record }
