Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/739

For usecases when there is a reverse-proxy in front of ollama, it would make sense to enable listening on a unix socket instead of a port, that is /path/to.socket. This would reduce unnecessary TCP/IP-overhead between reverse proxy and ollama, as well as enable security configurations with unix file permissions.

@Stebalien commented on GitHub (Dec 22, 2023):

So, I'm looking into implementing this (if that's OK). My plan was to reuse the OLLAMA_HOST variable but model it after DOCKER_HOST:

  • Keep support for IP:PORT and IP.
  • Add support for tcp://IP:PORT.
  • Add support for unix:///path/to/socket.

Thoughts?

(eventually I'd like to add systemd socket activation)

@Stebalien how are you getting on with this, I'm also interested and potentially can justify putting some time towards it if you need some help?

I was waiting for feedback but missed the 👍. I have no plans to tackle it immediately (I'll wait till I get a free weekend) so go for it.

This'd be nice to have. I was thinking it'd be useful in combination with some sort of listener from systemd to start the server on-demand.

It would be helpful for security concerns on multi-user machines.

As an extension to this, supporting systemd socket activation would be nice (https://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activation.html)
