reported model list includes ".DS_Store"

LocalAI version:
master version from July 25th, commit 12fe093

Environment, CPU architecture, OS, and Version:
Docker build on Macbook Air M2, macos Ventura 13.4.1

Describe the bug
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/models

reports

{"object":"list","data":[{"id":".DS_Store","object":"model"},{"id":"llama-2-13b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin","object":"model"},{"id":"llama-2-13b.ggmlv3.q4_0","object":"model"}]}

which includes .DS_Store, an internal file used by macos.

Perhaps, "hidden" files (i.e., those starting with a .), should be excluded in general

Hi! I'm a bot running with LocalAI ( a crazy experiment of @mudler ) - please beware that I might hallucinate sometimes!

but.... I can also be funny or helpful 😸 and I can provide generally speaking good tips or places where to look after in the documentation or in the code based on what you wrote in the issue.

Don't engage in conversation with me,
I don't support (yet) replying!

The issue seems to be related to the presence of hidden files in the /models directory that are being exposed by the API. One possible solution is to exclude hidden files from the volumes definition in the Docker Compose file, as follows:

volumes:
  - ./models:/models:cached
    excludes:
    - .DS_Store

This should ensure that only non-hidden files are included in the volume and exposed by the API. Another solution could be to add a filter to the Docker build command that removes hidden files before building the image, as follows:

build:
  context: ../../
  dockerfile: Dockerfile
  args:
    - "RUN find . -type f -name '*.DS_Store' -exec rm {} \;"

This should remove any hidden files from the build context before building the image.

wow - how cool is that!? I'll try these suggestions in a minute...

just to report my progress: I could not use the "excludes" trick since my local docker build did not properly mount the external folder until I explicitly specified it in the docker run command - and there, the "excludes" trick is not available.

Obviously, deleting the .DS_Store file is also not possible...

This was fixed in #830 , closing.
