ollambda 0.1.8

Add your description here

ollambda

Simple Flask based API server to proxy ollama calls to a more performant backend (such as llama.cpp)

Why should I use this package?

Honestly, you probably shouldn't. Not only is it currently nowhere near completion, there are plenty of alternatives.

Ollambda mostly exists as a personal learning tool.

But if you still want to, then continue on to see usage instructions and more info.

If you find a bug, feel free to open an issue, or make a pull request. Contributions are welcome!

How to Use

Installation

To install ollambda, either install using pip install ollambda or clone this repository and use pip install .

venv

Venv usage is encouraged, the simplest way to manage this is to use uv:

cd ollambda
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install .

Configuration

Currently ollambda proxies requests to an upstream llama.cpp server. The address is configured via environment variables or a YAML config file at ~/.ollambda/config.yaml:

Setting	Env var	Config key	Default
Proxy IP	OLLAMBDA_PROXY_IP	proxy_ip	127.0.0.1
Proxy port	OLLAMBDA_PROXY_PORT	proxy_port	8080
Log Dir	OLLAMBDA_LOG_DIR	log_dir	~/.ollambda/logs

[!tip] You can also create a config.yaml file in the working dir where ollambda is running, this file will be preferred.

[!note] Ollambda uses ConfigLite for its config backend, which I also develop.

Running the server

Start with the bundled command (uses Gunicorn internally):

ollambda

This spawns one worker per CPU core and binds to 0.0.0.0:5000 by default.

For manual control, you can also invoke Gunicorn directly:

gunicorn ollambda:app -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000
