What is the issue?

Hi,

I just upgraded my ollama setup manually, by running the install script again, as specified, but I also lost all my models, the ones pulled, the ones built, all are gone.

I supposed that's not the desired behaviour?

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

AMD

Ollama version

0.2.1

Actually it resets the ollama.service file and loosing al the custom vars (listen ips and models path)

Hi @loranger sorry about that, and sorry for the long reply. The recommended practice here is to create a systemd override file. Sorry this isn't better documented (will fix this momentarily)

sudo systemctl edit ollama

Or create the override file in /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf manually.

Thanks for the reply

I did create a /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf file and added my customizations

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"
Environment="OLLAMA_MODELS=/home/ollama/models"

The latest upgrade worked flawlessly.
Thank you so much 👍🏻
