Private beta build, unsigned.

New: Linux and Docker. The Engine step used to fail on Linux ("install Ollama yourself"). FLOPPY now downloads the official ollama-linux-<arch>.tar.zst, verifies its SHA-256 against the official release, and extracts it into your FLOPPY folder — no root needed. A Dockerfile is included; see the README. Autostart uses a systemd user service where systemd exists.

Also: long answers are no longer cut mid-sentence, and a cleaned-out data folder no longer breaks the Engine step.

  • Linux / Docker: run from source, or docker build -t floppy . && docker run -d -p 8788:8788 -v floppy-data:/data floppy. Needs tar with zstd (apt install zstd) or Python 3.14+.
  • macOS: open the DMG, drag to Applications. macOS 15 blocks it at first: System Settings → Privacy & Security → "FLOPPY.app was blocked" → Open Anyway.
  • Windows: run the installer. SmartScreen → "More info" → "Run anyway". Per-user, no admin rights.

Needs 8 GB RAM (16 recommended) and about 5 GB of disk. What it does and does not do is in the README. SHA-256 in SHA256SUMS.txt.
