Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11690

Hi Ollama team,

Thank you for the chat UI. It is a useful feature.

I was wondering whether it is possible to add a setting option where it disables the auto-launch of this chat UI every time the server is restarted. My application requires the server to be restarted regularly and the chat UI is a big distraction. It pops up every time this happens and it has to be manually closed.

It would be a good option to add for people who are not using the chat UI but using the other pathways.

Thank you very much.

I am developing on a Windows machine if that matters.

I would even go further. A UI-less installation mode would be great for all those applications we have created based on Ollama's http API ❤️

I think #11604 is the same feature request

Fell free to close this if this is a replicate, Ollama team. Please see my comment in that other feature request as well.

Thank you again.

@kullervo-wanona and others :)

Returning to this issue after some time away, I have seen that Ollama now offers ways to install and run it without an interface.
For installation, you can see the instructions: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/windows.md, where a ZIP file with the executable is provided directly ollama-windows-amd64.zip.

And to launch the application without a GUI, simply run ‘ollama serve’; at least for me, it is working without any problems.
