Hey folks.

I would have a feature request.

We are using Ollama in a Kubernetes infrastructure, and so far, it has been the most convenient Inference system we've used. Easy to deploy and maintain. Kudos.

We rely on a few private models, and we have to manually write SSH keys during deployment, not really convenient. Ollama model registry is really cool, and could be a source of revenue for you as well.

My feature request is to allow an env var like OLLAMA_API_KEY, allowing pulling and pushing models directly to the registry. It would allow integrating Ollama in CI environments, for instance, and easier tooling to push and pull models from your Hub.

In terms of code, it would be pretty easy for Ollama itself; the only thing would be allowing your server-side part to allow API keys.
