If the recommended way to install ollama is followed, ollama will be started automatically.

If the service is installed manually, ollama can be started on linux with sudo systemctl start ollama.

Thanks @rick-github ! As Rick mentioned, the default uses systemd. Other ways are possible as well, but we try to keep focused on ollama serve

In my case, I was using a container that did not support systemctl. Also, its a bit confusing what the difference between start and serve is?

start and serve are synonyms for ollama, they do the same thing. If you are running ollama in a container, the act of starting the container (docker run or docker compose up) will start the server.

In my case, I don't have control over starting the container, as this was a vast ai instance. Also, I think it would make more sense to just have one start command?
