Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1144

I am on ubuntu22.04 with ollama 0.1.9. If I run the app with

ollama run mistral,

all works great.

However when i run the following

OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:1234 ollama serve

the curl -X POST http://ipaddress:1234/api/generate -d '{"model": "mistral", "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?" }'

returns;

{"error":"model 'mistral' not found, try pulling it first"}

server restart, model reload etc did not work.

Any suggestion?

hi @KadirErturk4r

It looks like you are running as two different users. For the first command, ollama run mistral, ollama serve is already running as the ollama user. But then you launch ollama serve again as the user you logged in as.

The models have been installed to the serve running as ollama, but when you run as yourself, its looking at the .ollama directory in your home directory. And there isn't anything there.

So you have two options. You could copy the files from /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models, to the corresponding directory in your home directory. This is going to get confusing pretty quickly.

Your better option is to follow the instructions for linux here: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md. This will ensure you have a single server running and that it's using the correct directory and you don't have duplicate models installed.

Make sense??
