Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10548

What is the issue?

Purpose of .ollama/id_ed25519 ssh key does not seem documented anywhere. Is it for remote access to my system by someone?

Relevant log output

+ /usr/src/tmp/ollama-buildroot/usr/bin/ollama serve
Couldn't find '/usr/src/.ollama/id_ed25519'. Generating new private key.
Your new public key is:

No, it allows the ollama server to authorise against the ollama repository if you want to upload or download a model.
