Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1891

If we can have this feature, I'm sure it will help us out of the clutter. Or perhaps, is it possible to provide a way to Categorize models?

Practical Application:

Downloading large models from ollama site (consumes bandwidth) you don't really want to delete a model but just hide it from your organization or users.

Also, what is the best way to migrate the ollama local models directory without redownloading from the official site?

Or using the terminal, how do we upload a model to this directory?

I wish we have ollma migrate /path/to-models/ which have the ability to sync with non-duplicate models.

Thanks.

@pdevine commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2024):

The models are stored here: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#where-are-models-stored

To migrate them, you can actually just copy the entire models directory to a different place. The key here is to have the correct manifest (stored under models/manifests/registry.ollama.ai/library/...) and to have the blobs for the manifest (stored in models/blobs/...).

You can also set the models to be in a different location with the OLLAMA_MODELS env variable when you're starting the api server.
