Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1491

Regarding the non obvious aspect of it daemonising:

Problems arising from it not being obvious that systemd was involved:

Problems arising from lack of server control:

It looks like some of these have been closed as directing users to handle it via systemd.

systemctl stop ollama.service

Should this not be made obvious by an abstraction?

ollama server start --system

# linux: prompts for sudo to create system.d unit if it doesn't exist and start it
# mac: something something something steve jobs?

ollama server stop --system

# again, sudo required.

ollama server start

# no sudo required

# user presses: ctrl + d

# server stops.

Perhaps all this could be easier if these lines were optional?

6459377ae0/scripts/install.sh (L130-L132)

ask the user during install?

Can I please request a feature to just do something like ollama server stop or whatever? Having to uninstall ollama to stop it respawning on a mac is incredibly onerous.
