ComfyUI-BasicOllama

A simplified node that provides access to Ollama. It allows you to send prompts, system prompts, and images to your Ollama instance and receive text-based responses.

⚠️ Requirements

You must have Ollama installed and running on your local machine for this node to function. You can download it from https://ollama.com/.

🚀 Features

Direct Ollama Integration: Seamlessly connect to your local Ollama instance.
Automatic Image Detection: The node automatically detects if an image is connected and sends it to Ollama for multimodal analysis, simplifying the workflow.
System Prompt Support: Utilize the system parameter in the Ollama API for more control over model behavior.
Dynamic Prompt Templates: Easily load your own system prompts from .txt files in the prompts directory.
Multiple Image Inputs: Input up to five images for analysis.
Easy Configuration: Quickly set up your Ollama URL via a config.json file.

📦 Installation

Clone the Repository: Navigate to your ComfyUI/custom\_nodes directory and clone this repository:

bash git clone https://github.com/BobRandomNumber/ComfyUI-BasicOllama

Install Dependencies: Navigate to the newly cloned directory and install the required packages:

bash cd ComfyUI-BasicOllama pip install -r requirements.txt

Restart ComfyUI: Restart your ComfyUI instance to load the new custom node.

✨ Usage

The BasicOllama node can be found under the Ollama category in the ComfyUI menu. Simply connect an image to one of the image inputs to have it automatically included in your prompt.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`prompt`	`STRING`	The main text prompt to send to the Ollama model.
`ollama\_model`	`COMBO`	A list of available Ollama models on your local instance.
`keep\_alive`	`INT`	The duration (in minutes) that the Ollama model should remain loaded in memory after the request is complete.
`saved\_sys\_prompt`	`COMBO`	A dropdown list of saved system prompts from the `.txt` files in the `prompts` directory. This is used as the system prompt by default.
`use\_sys\_prompt\_below`	`BOOLEAN`	If checked (`True`), the `system\_prompt` text box below will be used instead of the dropdown selection. If unchecked (`False`), the `saved\_sys\_prompt` dropdown is used.
`system\_prompt`	`STRING`	A multiline text box for a custom, one-off system prompt. This is only active when `use\_sys\_prompt\_below` is checked.
`image1` - `image5`	`IMAGE`	Up to five optional image inputs for multimodal models. The node will automatically detect and process any connected images.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`text`	`STRING`	The text-based response from the Ollama model.

✍️ Adding Custom System Prompts

You can easily add your own reusable system prompts to the saved\_sys\_prompt dropdown menu.

Navigate to the ComfyUI-BasicOllama/prompts directory.
Create a new text file (e.g., my\_prompt.txt).
Write your system prompt inside this file. For example, if you want a system prompt for generating JSON, the content of the file could be:

You are a helpful assistant that only responds with valid, well-formatted JSON.

Save the file.
Refresh your ComfyUI browser window.

The name of your file (without the .txt extension) will now appear as an option in the saved\_sys\_prompt dropdown. In the example above, you would see my\_prompt in the list.

⚙️ Configuration

By default, the BasicOllama node will attempt to connect to your Ollama instance at http://localhost:11434.

If your Ollama instance is running on a different URL/port, you can change it by editing the config.json file located in the ComfyUI-BasicOllama directory:

{
  "OLLAMA\_URL": "http://your-ollama-url:11434"
}
