# Ollama Service Deployment Summary
|
|
|
|
## What Was Created
|
|
|
|
I've researched and implemented a comprehensive Ollama service configuration for your NixOS home lab. Here's what's been added:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Research Documentation
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/research/ollama.md`** - Comprehensive research on Ollama, including features, requirements, security considerations, and deployment recommendations.
|
|
|
|
### 2. NixOS Module
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/modules/services/ollama.nix`** - A complete NixOS module for Ollama with:
|
|
- Secure service isolation
|
|
- Configurable network binding
|
|
- Resource management
|
|
- GPU acceleration support
|
|
- Health monitoring
|
|
- Automatic model downloads
|
|
- Backup functionality
|
|
|
|
### 3. Service Configuration
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/machines/grey-area/services/ollama.nix`** - Specific configuration for deploying Ollama on grey-area with:
|
|
- 3 popular models (llama3.3:8b, codellama:7b, mistral:7b)
|
|
- Resource limits to protect other services
|
|
- Security-focused localhost binding
|
|
- Monitoring and health checks enabled
|
|
|
|
### 4. Management Tools
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/scripts/ollama-cli.sh`** - CLI tool for common Ollama operations
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/scripts/monitor-ollama.sh`** - Comprehensive monitoring script
|
|
|
|
### 5. Documentation
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/documentation/OLLAMA_DEPLOYMENT.md`** - Complete deployment guide
|
|
- **`/home/geir/Home-lab/documentation/OLLAMA_INTEGRATION_EXAMPLES.md`** - Integration examples for development workflow
|
|
|
|
### 6. Configuration Updates
|
|
- Updated `grey-area/configuration.nix` to include the Ollama service
|
|
- Enhanced home-lab-tools package with Ollama tool references
|
|
|
|
## Quick Deployment
|
|
|
|
To deploy Ollama to your grey-area server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Navigate to your home lab directory
|
|
cd /home/geir/Home-lab
|
|
|
|
# Deploy the updated configuration
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#grey-area
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What Happens During Deployment
|
|
|
|
1. **Service Creation**: Ollama systemd service will be created and started
|
|
2. **User/Group Setup**: Dedicated `ollama` user and group created for security
|
|
3. **Model Downloads**: Three AI models will be automatically downloaded:
|
|
- **llama3.3:8b** (~4.7GB) - General purpose model
|
|
- **codellama:7b** (~3.8GB) - Code-focused model
|
|
- **mistral:7b** (~4.1GB) - Fast inference model
|
|
4. **Directory Setup**: `/var/lib/ollama` created for model storage
|
|
5. **Security Hardening**: Service runs with restricted permissions
|
|
6. **Resource Limits**: Memory limited to 12GB, CPU to 75%
|
|
|
|
## Post-Deployment Verification
|
|
|
|
After deployment, verify everything is working:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check service status
|
|
systemctl status ollama
|
|
|
|
# Test API connectivity
|
|
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
|
|
|
|
# Use the CLI tool
|
|
/home/geir/Home-lab/scripts/ollama-cli.sh status
|
|
|
|
# Run comprehensive monitoring
|
|
/home/geir/Home-lab/scripts/monitor-ollama.sh --test-inference
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Storage Requirements
|
|
|
|
The initial setup will download approximately **12.6GB** of model data:
|
|
- llama3.3:8b: ~4.7GB
|
|
- codellama:7b: ~3.8GB
|
|
- mistral:7b: ~4.1GB
|
|
|
|
Ensure grey-area has sufficient storage space.
|
|
|
|
## Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
Once deployed, you can use Ollama for:
|
|
|
|
### Interactive Chat
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Start interactive session with a model
|
|
ollama run llama3.3:8b
|
|
|
|
# Code assistance
|
|
ollama run codellama:7b "Review this function for security issues"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API Usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate text via API
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:11434/api/generate \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"model": "llama3.3:8b", "prompt": "Explain NixOS modules", "stream": false}'
|
|
|
|
# OpenAI-compatible API
|
|
curl http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"model": "mistral:7b", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CLI Tool
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Using the provided CLI tool
|
|
ollama-cli.sh models # List installed models
|
|
ollama-cli.sh chat mistral:7b # Start chat session
|
|
ollama-cli.sh test # Run functionality tests
|
|
ollama-cli.sh pull phi4:14b # Install additional models
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Security Configuration
|
|
|
|
The deployment uses secure defaults:
|
|
- **Network Binding**: localhost only (127.0.0.1:11434)
|
|
- **User Isolation**: Dedicated `ollama` user with minimal permissions
|
|
- **Systemd Hardening**: Extensive security restrictions applied
|
|
- **No External Access**: Firewall closed by default
|
|
|
|
To enable external access, consider using a reverse proxy (examples provided in documentation).
|
|
|
|
## Resource Management
|
|
|
|
The service includes resource limits to prevent impact on other grey-area services:
|
|
- **Memory Limit**: 12GB maximum
|
|
- **CPU Limit**: 75% maximum
|
|
- **Process Isolation**: Separate user and group
|
|
- **File System Restrictions**: Limited write access
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring and Maintenance
|
|
|
|
The deployment includes:
|
|
- **Health Checks**: Automated service health monitoring
|
|
- **Backup System**: Configuration and custom model backup
|
|
- **Log Management**: Structured logging with rotation
|
|
- **Performance Monitoring**: Resource usage tracking
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Deploy**: Run the nixos-rebuild command above
|
|
2. **Verify**: Check service status and API connectivity
|
|
3. **Test**: Try the CLI tools and API examples
|
|
4. **Integrate**: Use the integration examples for your development workflow
|
|
5. **Monitor**: Set up regular monitoring using the provided tools
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you encounter issues:
|
|
|
|
1. **Check Service Status**: `systemctl status ollama`
|
|
2. **View Logs**: `journalctl -u ollama -f`
|
|
3. **Monitor Downloads**: `journalctl -u ollama-model-download -f`
|
|
4. **Run Diagnostics**: `/home/geir/Home-lab/scripts/monitor-ollama.sh`
|
|
5. **Check Storage**: `df -h /var/lib/ollama`
|
|
|
|
## Future Enhancements
|
|
|
|
Consider these potential improvements:
|
|
- **GPU Acceleration**: Enable if you add a compatible GPU to grey-area
|
|
- **Web Interface**: Deploy Open WebUI for browser-based interaction
|
|
- **External Access**: Configure reverse proxy for remote access
|
|
- **Additional Models**: Install specialized models for specific tasks
|
|
- **Integration**: Implement the development workflow examples
|
|
|
|
The Ollama service is now ready to provide local AI capabilities to your home lab infrastructure!
