[Bug]: agent-server (No response from ACP server) when setting up automation using Local ACP, opencode, ollama

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.

Bug Description

I have agent-canvas running successfully and creating changes using conversations. Yay!

When I set up an automation such as GitHub repository monitor

I set up "Poll Locally on your laptop"

I am taken to the new conversation where I submit

/github-monitor:poll

and I receive
(No response from ACP server)

When i check the journalctl I see the below error. This is strange to me as the conversation works great using the ACP but below looks like litellm is not using the ACP but trying to talk to Ollama which is available on the network and set up in the base_url.

npx[571794]: 01:41:25 [agent-server] ERROR litellm.APIConnectionError: OllamaException - [Errno 111] Connection refused. Attempt OpenHands/OpenHands#2 | You can customize retry values in the configuration. retry_mixin.py:140

Ollama is running on the network, maybe there is some additional configuration i need to set to use Automation with ACP or ollama running on the network?

Thanks for your help!

Expected Behavior

Automation should continue set up prompting

Actual Behavior

a message is logged
(No response from ACP server)

backend logs show
npx[571794]: 01:41:25 [agent-server] ERROR litellm.APIConnectionError: OllamaException - [Errno 111] Connection refused. Attempt OpenHands/OpenHands#2 | You can customize retry values in the configuration. retry_mixin.py:140

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Openhands on an Ubuntu VM

2. Set up Openhands GitHub MCP

3. Install Opencode on the VM

4. Configure Ollama network access (from GPU server)

5. Configure Opencode to use Ollama server and model

6. Configure Openhands to use ACP (opencode acp) and set the model to ollama/ (works here in conversation)

7. Set up a new Automation.

8. Select GitHub repository monitor

9. Select Continue with Local setup

10. Submit /github-monitor:poll in conversation

Logs and Error Messages

Screenshots and Additional Context

No response

Start by reproducing the Local ACP automation flow through the agent-server entry point, using /github-monitor:poll and the journalctl error as the initial trace. Compare this path with the working conversation setup and determine why the automation reaches Ollama directly. Done means the GitHub repository monitor continues its setup without returning “No response from ACP server.”
