Originally created by @DY-ATL on GitHub (Feb 8, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8937

What is the issue?

I add env variable when starting the docker (-e OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE='60'), it doesn't work.
docker run -d --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 -e OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE='60' --name ollama ollama/ollama
But the env variable has been passed in and can be checked by echo $OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE.
Also, I cannot restart the ollama via systemctl restart ollama because there is no systemctl. service ollama restart doesn't work too.

Relevant log output

It works! Restarting the docker docker restart ollama after docker run -d --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 -e OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE='60' --name ollama ollama/ollama works!

I had the same problem as https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5272#issuecomment-2188709424. If I run ollama run deepseek-r1:671b, then the UNTIL is as expected. However, if I use Chrome extension Page Assist, the UNTIL is still default 5 min.

The extension is setting keep_alive in the API call. Configure it so that it doesn't.
