On OSTree based operating systems like Fedora Siverblue [1], the
/usr/share directory is part of the read-only /usr mount point. This
causes the install.sh script to fail when adding the 'ollama' user with
its home directory at /usr/share/ollama, because useradd(8) is unable to
create the directory:
$ curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
>>> Installing ollama to /usr/local
>>> Downloading Linux amd64 bundle
############################################################### 100.0%
>>> Creating ollama user...
useradd: cannot create directory /usr/share/ollama
>>> The Ollama API is now available at 127.0.0.1:11434.
>>> Install complete. Run "ollama" from the command line.
The /var/lib directory is an alternative for this, because /var is a
read-write mount point. eg., this is used by Geoclue [2] and the GNOME
Display Manager [3] for their users' home directories on Linux
distributions like Arch, Fedora and Ubuntu.
With this change the install.sh script is able to proceed further:
$ sh scripts/install.sh
>>> Installing ollama to /usr/local
>>> Downloading Linux amd64 bundle
############################################################### 100.0%
>>> Creating ollama user...
>>> Adding ollama user to render group...
>>> Adding ollama user to video group...
>>> Adding current user to ollama group...
>>> Creating ollama systemd service...
>>> Enabling and starting ollama service...
Created symlink
'/etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/ollama.service' →
'/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service'.
>>> The Ollama API is now available at 127.0.0.1:11434.
>>> Install complete. Run "ollama" from the command line.
WARNING: No NVIDIA/AMD GPU detected. Ollama will run in CPU-only mode.
The install.sh script is able to use /usr/local on Fedora Silverblue,
because /usr/local is not considered part of the read-only OS image, and
is a symbolic link to /var/usrlocal to make it read-write.

The current scheduler algorithm of picking the paralellism based on available
VRAM complicates the upcoming dynamic layer memory allocation algorithm. This
changes the default to 1, with the intent going forward that parallelism is
explicit and will no longer be dynamically determined. Removal of the dynamic
logic will come in a follow up.
* increase default context length to 4096
We lower the default numParallel from 4 to 2 and use these "savings" to
double the default context length from 2048 to 4096.
We're memory neutral in cases when we previously would've used
numParallel == 4, but we add the following mitigation to handle some
cases where we would have previously fallen back to 1x2048 due to low
VRAM: we decide between 2048 and 4096 using a runtime check, choosing
2048 if we're on a one GPU system with total VRAM of <= 4 GB. We
purposefully don't check the available VRAM because we don't want the
context window size to change unexpectedly based on the available VRAM.
We plan on making the default even larger, but this is a relatively
low-risk change we can make to quickly double it.
* fix tests
add an explicit context length so they don't get truncated. The code
that converts -1 from being a signal for doing a runtime check isn't
running as part of these tests.
* tweak small gpu message
* clarify context length default
also make it actually show up in `ollama serve --help`
This also adjusts our algorithm to favor our bundled ROCm.
I've confirmed VRAM reporting still doesn't work properly so we
can't yet enable concurrency by default.
* Clean up documentation
Will probably need to update with PRs for new release.
