Originally assigned to: @tjbck on GitHub.

I'm looking to create an installer for ollama for Webi (https://webinstall.dev), and some sort of UI like this (to make it more immediately accessible to people installing it).

Would you please release the pre-built version via GitHub Releases so that it can be used with just ollama and caddy without all of node?

Automating Releases

I could help you get it so that basically when you git tag v1.1.1 && git push --tags a .github/workflows automatically builds and uploads it to the Releases section using gh

Sounds good. After the #10 merge, could you add the files required to automate the process and create a separate pull request? Thanks a lot.

I probably won't have time to do that this week, but I'll make some notes now and get around to it when I can.

Overview + Docs

Here's how to publish locally with gh

https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/scripts/publish.sh

There's already an action in the repo that goes through the build process:

https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui/blob/main/.github/workflows/node.js.yaml#L3

This is what would be modified to create a workflow that operates on tags rather than branches:

on:  
  push:
    tags:
      - '*'

All actions come with a github.token that can be assigned to scripts via ENVs:

jobs:
    Build-GitHub-Pages:
        runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
        env:
          GH_BASIC_AUTH: "x-access-token:${{ github.token }}"
          GH_TOKEN: "${{ github.token }}"

I think what would be needed, however, is a token specifically created to be a New Repository Secret:

It would need a token with specific permissions for Releases, which would be either of these:

repo (full repo access)
Contents (read+write fine-grained control)
Repository contents, commits, branches, downloads, releases, and merges.

Much of my personal notes are at:

Again, this would also be ideal for https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui-lite now (stripped down version of ollama-webui without the backend part), I'll think of ways to include this in the other repo. Thanks!
