Ollama Proxy Server is a lightweight, secure proxy server designed to add a security layer to one or multiple Ollama servers. It routes incoming requests to the backend server with the lowest load, minimizing server strain and improving responsiveness. Built with Python, this project is ideal for managing distributed Ollama instances with authentication and logging capabilities.
**Author:** ParisNeo
**License:** Apache 2.0
**Repository:** [https://github.com/ParisNeo/ollama_proxy_server](https://github.com/ParisNeo/ollama_proxy_server)
## Features
* **Load Balancing:** Routes requests to the Ollama server with the fewest ongoing requests.
* **Security:** Implements bearer token authentication using a `user:key` format.
* **Asynchronous Logging:** Logs access and errors to a CSV file without blocking request handling.
* **Connection Pooling:** Uses persistent HTTP connections for faster backend communication.
* **Streaming Support:** Properly forwards streaming responses from Ollama servers.
* **Command-Line Tools:** Includes utilities to run the server and manage users.
* **Cross-Platform:** Runs on any OS supporting Python 3.11.

```
Test that it works:
```bash
curl localhost:8080 -H "Authorization: Bearer user1:0XAXAXAQX5A1F"
```
## Configuration
1. **`config.ini`**
Copy `config.ini.example` to `config.ini` and edit it:
```ini
[server0]
url = http://localhost:11434
# Add more servers as needed
# [server1]
# url = http://another-server:11434
```
* `url`: The URL of an Ollama backend server.
2. **`authorized_users.txt`**
Copy `authorized_users.txt.example` to `authorized_users.txt` and edit it:
```
user:key
another_user:another_key
```
## Usage
