+# Ollama Service
+
+This Docker Compose setup deploys the Ollama service, using the main ollama image hosted on dockerhub. Ollama is designed to run seamlessly in a Docker environment, with health checks and volume management. 
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+
+Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed and up-to-date on your system.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The service configuration is managed through the `docker-compose.yaml` file and environment variables. You can customize the Ollama service port by setting the `OLLAMA_PORT` environment variable; if not set, it defaults to 11434.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Run:** To start the Ollama service run:
+```bash
+   docker-compose up -d 
+```
+
+2. **Build and Run:** To build the project and start the Ollama service, run:
+```bash
+   docker-compose up --build
+```
+
+## NOTES:
+
+1. Health Check: The service includes a health check that verifies the application's ability to accept connections on port 11434 (or a custom port if OLLAMA_PORT is set).
+
+2. Accessing Ollama: Once running, Ollama is accessible on localhost at the port specified by OLLAMA_PORT or the default 11434.
+
+3. Volumes: To persist data, the setup mounts a volume from ./ollama to /root/.ollama within the container. 
+
+4. Stopping the Service: To stop and remove the Ollama container, use:
+
+```bash
+   docker-compose down
+```
