ramalama-serve - Man Page

path of the authentication file for OCI registries

size of the prompt context (default: 2048, 0 = loaded from model)

Run the container in the background and print the new container ID. The default is TRUE. The --nocontainer option forces this option to False.

Use the ramalama stop command to stop the container running the served ramalama Model.

Generate specified configuration format for running the AI Model as a service

show this help message and exit

IP address for llama.cpp to listen on.

Name of the container to run the Model in.

port for AI Model server to listen on

Specify seed rather than using random seed model interaction

Temperature of the response from the AI Model llama.cpp explains this as:

The lower the number is, the more deterministic the response.

The higher the number is the more creative the response is, but more likely to hallucinate when set too high.

    Usage: Lower numbers are good for virtual assistants where we need deterministic responses. Higher numbers are good for roleplay or creative tasks like editing stories

require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting OCI registries
