Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8048

My Ollama process is managed via systemd and the Ollama systemd file contains several "Environment=" variables.

Unfortunately, every time I upgrade Ollama, it resets it's systemd file and I will need to re-enter those custom Environment variables.

Would it be possible for the installer to NOT overwrite the systemd control file, or perhaps retain customizations?

Systemd allows overriding config files for this purpose. You can call do sudo systemctl edit ollama.service and write your changes there.
