localvectordb_server.utils.checkdeps module

localvectordb_server/utils/checkdeps.py Utility functions for checking system dependencies.

localvectordb_server.utils.checkdeps.check_ollama_installation() → str | None

Check if Ollama is installed and available in the system path.

Returns:

Version string if Ollama is installed, None otherwise

Return type:

Optional[str]

Raises:

OllamaNotFoundError – If Ollama is not installed or not accessible

localvectordb_server.utils.checkdeps.check_ollama_service(base_url: str | None = None, timeout: float = 5.0, retries: int = 3) → bool

Check if Ollama service is running and responding.

Parameters:

  • base_url (Optional[str]) – Ollama server URL. Defaults to the OLLAMA_URL environment variable or http://127.0.0.1:11434. (127.0.0.1 rather than localhost: on Windows, “localhost” resolves to ::1 first and stalls ~2.5s per request because Ollama only listens on IPv4.)

  • timeout (float) – Per-request timeout in seconds.

  • retries (int) – Number of attempts before giving up.

Returns:

True if service is running, False otherwise

Return type:

bool
