I'm putting my hand up for RPM packages, starting with Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS/Alma/Rocky/Oracle.

One first hurdle would be to define a configuration management consistent with the product roadmap. The current implementation of using os.Getenv() is a nice cross-platform way to get configuration variables on any OS.

Since DEB or RPM would likely need to use /etc, an /etc/ollama would contain all present and future needs for configuration files. MacOS and Windows would also need to be OS specific. A cross-platform configuration single source of truth would help out developers and users.

I'm checking in with update for .deb on apt. Progress so far.

Note, I've never created nor maintained a .deb ppa before, so I'm learning on the go, and open to "best practices" and feedback

Installer Script via .deb (done, room for improvement)

This, when installed (perhaps to be named ollama-installer, will run a post installation script, namely the script from https://ollama.com/download/linux (at the time of writing this, that's curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh )

Code Repo will be hosted at: https://github.com/seanmavley/ollama-deb

The PPA to grab the current script installer via .deb is at https://launchpad.net/~khophi/+archive/ubuntu/ollama/+packages

Ollama binary via .deb (working on)

This, when installed, (perhaps to be named ollama-binary) will install the actual ollama binary built from source and configure it with systemd service etc, similar to end results of running the installer script.

This will be versioned, in tandem with Ollama unlike the installer above which will always point to latest stable at the time of install (versioned, but not from the side of the ppa, but at the time of install per the script)

Cheers

There is an OpenSUSE RPM of Ollama (in "Factory" builds repo).

Maintained by dimstar @DimStar77

BTW, the build in this package is ~10 times smaller than the officical one. Could it be that it optimizes dependencies better & removes unused code?

I've been working on Debian packaging -- it isn't what I'd call suitable for the Debian repos, but it's close-ish.

Can we please get an Apt/PPA repo going for Ubuntu/Debian already? It's 2025 and downloading rando binary blobs via a .sh file is something that was frowned upon even back in 1998. This kind of thing NEEEDDSSS supply chain controls like package manager and repos just like any other software installed on a system.

It's not a full repo, but have you seen my project as referenced here?

That's part of the picture but doesn't actually solve the supply chain security problems, nor does it provide any automation (currently) for updating via apt. But it is a step in the right direction!

As I said, not a full repo, and yes, security issues are potential as well, but the same would be true if the repo owners built them. My source and workflow are all in the repo for anyone to audit.
