Supercharge Your Native Ollama.
Ollama Gateway: Supercharge your native Ollama with enterprise-grade API authentication, request auditing, rate limiting, and virtual model management—your secure, private AI gateway.
Security and Auditing by Design.
Bearer Token Auth
Create multiple API keys for different users and applications, each with its own fine-grained permissions.
Clickhouse Auditing
Detailed auditing for every request and response, stored in high-performance Clickhouse storage for compliance.
Team Management
A built-in Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system for managing your team's access to AI models.
Model Keep-alive
Periodically pings underlying models to ensure they stay loaded in memory for instant response times.
Default Model Support
Automatically redirect requests to a default virtual model if no model is specified in the API call.
Native Passthrough
Seamless support for native Ollama features including MCP tools, embedding, images, and stream mode.
Intelligent
Virtual Models
Create multiple aliases for your models with custom system prompts and parameter overrides.
Chat Models
Create virtual chat models with persistent system prompts.
Embedding Models
Dedicated management for embedding models for RAG applications.
Parameter Overrides
Override temperature, top_k, and other Ollama options per virtual model.
Perfect for Agent Deployment
OllamaGateway has been officially tested and is fully compatible with popular ecosystem tools including Open-WebUI, Opencode, and Roocode. Its robust API translation makes it the ideal choice for deploying autonomous AI agents.

Mix Any Client with Any Backend
OllamaGateway supports two inbound API formats (OpenAI & Ollama) and two backend provider types — in any combination. Your clients and physical models don't have to speak the same language.
OpenAI Client

/v1/chat/completions
→ OpenAI-compatible provider

| Parameter | ①OpenAI → OpenAI | ②Ollama → OpenAI | ③OpenAI → Ollama | ④Ollama → Ollama |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | Full support | Full support | Full support | Full support |
| Top P | Full support | Full support | Full support | Full support |
| Top K | Not supported | DB override discarded | DB override | Full support |
| Num Ctx | Not supported | DB override discarded | DB override | Full support |
| Thinking (think) | Not supported | DB override discarded | DB override | Full support |
When a virtual model has parameters configured in the database, those values always override what the client sends.
Why choose OllamaGateway?
Native Ollama is great for personal use, but it lacks the enterprise features required for team collaboration and production deployment. OllamaGateway fills those gaps without changing your workflow.
