Gollama

Gollama is a tool for managing Ollama models.

It provides a TUI (Text User Interface) for listing, inspecting, deleting, copying, and pushing Ollama models as well as optionally linking them to LM Studio.

The application allows users to interactively select models, sort, filter, edit, run, unload and perform actions on them using hotkeys.

Features

The project started off as a rewrite of my llamalink project, but I decided to expand it to include more features and make it more user-friendly.

It's in active development, so there are some bugs and missing features, however I'm finding it useful for managing my models every day, especially for cleaning up old models.

• List available models
• Display metadata such as size, quantisation level, model family, and modified date
• Edit / update a model's Modelfile
• Sort models by name, size, modification date, quantisation level, family etc
• Select and delete models
• Run and unload models
• Inspect model for additional details
• Link models to LM Studio
• Copy / rename models
• Push models to a registry
• Show running models
• Has some cool bugs

Installation

From go:

go install github.com/sammcj/gollama@HEAD

From Github:

Download the most recent release from the releases page and extract the binary to a directory in your PATH.

e.g. zip -d gollama*.zip -d gollama && mv gollama /usr/local/bin

Usage

To run the gollama application, use the following command:

gollama

Tip: I like to alias gollama to g for quick access:

echo "alias g=gollama" >> ~/.zshrc

Command-line Options

• -l: List all available Ollama models and exit
• -L: Link all available Ollama models to LM Studio and exit new
• -s <search term>: Search for models by name new
  • OR operator ('term1|term2') returns models that match either term
  • AND operator ('term1&term2') returns models that match both terms
• -e <model>: Edit the Modelfile for a model new
• -ollama-dir: Custom Ollama models directory
• -lm-dir: Custom LM Studio models directory
• -cleanup: Remove all symlinked models and empty directories and exit
• -no-cleanup: Don't cleanup broken symlinks
• -u: Unload all running models
• -v: Print the version and exit

Simple model listing

Gollama can also be called with -l to list models without the TUI.

gollama -l

List (gollama -l):

Edit

Gollama can be called with -e to edit the Modelfile for a model.

gollama -e my-model

Search

Gollama can be called with -s to search for models by name.

gollama -s my-model # returns models that contain 'my-model'

gollama -s 'my-model|my-other-model' # returns models that contain either 'my-model' or 'my-other-model'

gollama -s 'my-model&instruct' # returns models that contain both 'my-model' and 'instruct'

Configuration

Gollama uses a JSON configuration file located at ~/.config/gollama/config.json. The configuration file includes options for sorting, columns, API keys, log levels etc...

Example configuration:

{
  "default_sort": "modified",
  "columns": [
    "Name",
    "Size",
    "Quant",
    "Family",
    "Modified",
    "ID"
  ],
  "ollama_api_key": "",
  "ollama_api_url": "http://localhost:11434",
  "lm_studio_file_paths": "",
  "log_level": "info",
  "log_file_path": "/Users/username/.config/gollama/gollama.log",
  "sort_order": "Size",
  "strip_string": "my-private-registry.internal/",
  "editor": "",
  "docker_container": ""
}

• strip_string can be used to remove a prefix from model names as they are displayed in the TUI. This can be useful if you have a common prefix such as a private registry that you want to remove for display purposes.
• docker_container - experimental - if set, gollama will attempt to perform any run operations inside the specified container.
• editor - experimental - if set, gollama will use this editor to open the Modelfile for editing.

Installation and build from source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sammcj/gollama.git
   cd gollama

2. Build:

   go get
   make build

3. Run:

   ./gollama

Logging

Logs can be found in the gollama.log which is stored in $HOME/.config/gollama/gollama.log by default. The log level can be set in the configuration file.
