Custom API & Ollama Guide
For maximum privacy, Veracity supports any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (OpenRouter, LM Studio, Ollama).
- OpenRouter / Cloud APIs: Just paste your endpoint (e.g.,
https://openrouter.ai/api/v1) and your key. - Ollama (Localhost): If Veracity is deployed on the cloud (Vercel), it cannot reach your local machine's
localhost:11434. - The Ollama Fix: You must expose your Ollama port using a tunnel. Run
ngrok http 11434in your terminal. - Copy the Ngrok Forwarding URL (e.g.,
https://xyz.ngrok.app/v1) and paste it as the Base URL in Veracity.
