- Default binding to localhost (127.0.0.1:11434)
|
||||
- Configurable network binding
|
||||
- No authentication by default (intended for local use)
|
||||
- Consider reverse proxy for external access
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Isolation
|
||||
- Dedicated user/group for service
|
||||
- Memory and CPU limits via systemd
|
||||
- File system permissions
|
||||
- Optional container isolation
|
||||
|
||||
### Model Security
|
||||
- Models downloaded from official sources
|
||||
- Checksum verification
|
||||
- Local storage of sensitive prompts/responses
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware Acceleration
|
||||
- **CUDA**: NVIDIA GPU acceleration
|
||||
- **ROCm**: AMD GPU acceleration (limited support)
|
||||
- **Metal**: Apple Silicon acceleration (macOS)
|
||||
- **OpenCL**: Cross-platform GPU acceleration
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
- Automatic model loading/unloading
|
||||
- Configurable context length
|
||||
- Memory-mapped model files
|
||||
- Swap considerations for large models
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Optimization
|
||||
- Fast SSD storage for model files
|
||||
- Model quantization for smaller sizes
|
||||
- Shared model storage across users
|
||||
|
||||
## API and Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### REST API
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate text
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:11434/api/generate \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"model": "llama3.3", "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?", "stream": false}'
|
||||
|
||||
# List models

||||
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
|
||||
|
||||
# Model information
|
||||
curl http://localhost:11434/api/show -d '{"name": "llama3.3"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI Compatible API

|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"model": "llama3.3",
|
||||
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Client Libraries

|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Recommendations for Grey Area
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary Deployment
|
||||
Deploy Ollama on `grey-area` alongside your existing services:
|
||||
|
||||
**Advantages:**
|
||||
- Leverages existing application server infrastructure
|
||||
- Integrates with Forgejo for code assistance
|
||||
- Shared with media services for content generation
|
||||
- Centralized management
|
||||
|
||||
**Considerations:**
|
||||
- Resource sharing with Jellyfin and other services
|
||||
- Potential memory pressure during concurrent usage
|
||||
- Good for general-purpose AI tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative: Dedicated AI Server
|
||||
Consider deploying on a dedicated machine if resources become constrained:
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Consider:**
|
||||
- Heavy model usage impacting other services
|
||||
- Need for GPU acceleration
|
||||
- Multiple users requiring concurrent access
|
||||
- Development of AI-focused applications
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring and Observability
|
||||
|
||||
### Metrics to Track
|
||||
- **Memory Usage**: Model loading and inference memory
|
||||
- **Response Times**: Model inference latency
|
||||
- **Request Volume**: API call frequency
|
||||
- **Model Usage**: Which models are being used
|
||||
- **Resource Utilization**: CPU/GPU usage during inference
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Existing Stack
|
||||
- Prometheus metrics export (if available)
|
||||
- Log aggregation with existing logging infrastructure
|
||||
- Health checks for service monitoring
|
||||
- Integration with Grafana dashboards
|
||||
|
||||
## Backup and Disaster Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Backup
|
||||
- **Model Files**: Large but replaceable from official sources
|
||||
- **Configuration**: Service configuration and environment
|
||||
- **Custom Models**: Any fine-tuned or custom models
|
||||
- **Application Data**: Conversation history if stored
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup Strategy
|
||||
- **Model Files**: Generally don't backup (re-downloadable)
|
||||
- **Configuration**: Include in NixOS configuration management
|
||||
- **Custom Content**: Regular backups to NFS storage
|
||||
- **Documentation**: Model inventory and configuration notes
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost-Benefit Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Benefits
|
||||
- **Zero Ongoing Costs**: No per-token charges
|
||||
- **Privacy**: Complete data control
|
||||
- **Availability**: No external dependencies
|
||||
- **Customization**: Full control over models and configuration
|
||||
- **Learning**: Hands-on experience with AI infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
### Costs
|
||||
- **Hardware**: Additional RAM/storage requirements
|
||||
- **Power**: Increased energy consumption
|
||||
- **Maintenance**: Model updates and service management
|
||||
- **Performance**: May be slower than cloud APIs for large models
|
||||
|
