<Note> If connecting to `http://localhost:11434` fails, use `http://127.0.0.1:11434`</Note>
<Note>
In environments that don't use Docker Desktop (ie, Linux server installations), `host.docker.internal` is not automatically added.
Run n8n in docker with `--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway`
or add the following to a docker compose file:
```yaml
extra_hosts:
- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
```
</Note>
You should see a `Connection tested successfully` message.
