What is the issue?

Not all distributions use SystemD. Please include a SysVInit script, maybe in contrib or something like that. I've included a SysVInit script that works for me under Devuan. Note, I installed Ollama in /opt/ollama and models in /opt/ollama/models. I've included other options as well, including logging to /var/log/ollama/ollama.log

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          ollama
# Required-Start:    $network
# Required-Stop:     
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Ollama Service
# Description:       Starts the Ollama Service at boot

@rick-github should this issue be closed then? Both #7336 and #7732 are both closed. Adding documentation to the manual install and including the init script in scripts or docs would probably go along way. Thoughts?
