 In Hermes Dashboard, open **Plugins**, choose **Install from repository**, enter the URL above, and install. The repository contains the root `plugin.yaml`, dashboard manifest, backend API, compiled frontend bundle, stylesheet, and an opt-in prerequisite declaration. On Linux, the Hermes installer will verify Ollama, install it with the official Ollama installer when missing, and install the plugin's `pypdf` dependency before committing the plugin into `~/.hermes/plugins/`. Ollama installation requires the Hermes container to run as root, which is the expected configuration for a privileged ZimaOS deployment. If the container is not running as root, the plugin install stops without enabling a partially configured plugin. After installation or an update, restart only the Hermes dashboard service if requested by the installer.
 
-## Physical and Docker deployments
+The dashboard now includes a connection panel in the header. Enter an Ollama base URL, choose **Local** or **Remote**, and use **Test** before **Save**. Saved URLs are stored in Hermes plugin data with file permissions restricted to the Hermes account. Credential-bearing URLs are rejected.
+
+The plugin probes the configured local endpoint and known Docker endpoints, and tests a configured remote endpoint. A successful connection reports the Ollama version and installed model count. The active local endpoint continues to drive chat, status, load, and runtime telemetry.
+
+When both local and remote endpoints are online, downloading or re-downloading a model opens a destination chooser. The selected target is recorded on the job and the pull is sent to that endpoint. Remote downloads do not alter the local installed-model inventory.

 The plugin supports both deployment types:
