Ollama on the Framework Desktop

Getting setup

Install Ollama

Install the Ollama Binary The official way to install Ollama on Linux is to download the pre‑compiled binary and place it in your PATH. We’ll use curl (or wget) and chmod for a quick, script‑friendly method.

# Download the latest stable release (Linux x86_64)
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Install OpenWebUI

As Fedora already includes podman we’ll use that to run OpenWebUI.

podman run -d --name openwebui -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

OpenWebUI is now running at http://localhost:3000/ and should automatically connect to your Ollama service.
