Ollama Pulls Fail on Expired Cert

Users hitting `ollama pull` are seeing manifest fetches fail against a Cloudflare R2 blob URL because the TLS certificate is expired or not yet valid. The error points to a registry-side outage or certificate problem, not a local model config issue.

// ANALYSIS

This looks like an infrastructure breakage in Ollama’s model distribution path, and the practical impact is simple: developers cannot pull or update models until the registry endpoint is fixed.

  • The failure happens during manifest retrieval, so the model never gets far enough for client-side fixes to matter
  • The certificate error suggests a server-side TLS or time-validity issue on the blob host, not a bad model name or permission problem
  • For users, the only realistic workaround is to wait for the service to be repaired or switch to a cached/local copy
  • Incidents like this matter because Ollama is often part of the critical path for local inference, demos, and CI-style reproducibility
