Originally created by @Dougie777 on GitHub (Nov 26, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1278

Upgrading to the latest version clobbers my /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service file. If the file exists it should not be overwritten. Or the distro should only include a sample file like so /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.sample

To Reproduce

1 Install ollama as a service using docs.
2 Customize /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service like adding:
Environment=OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0
Environment=OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*
3 Upgrade to the latest ollama version

Expected behavior

/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service is overwritten, destroying any customizations to this file.

As specified in the faq, you can enter your environment variables in /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/environment.conf and they will not be overwritten

/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service is set up as a read only file -- as mentioned above, the faq suggests setting up a separate service unit directory. what is the benefit of creating an additional unit directory and file?
