Ollama with a preloaded model

An ollama/ollama:latest image with the following model downloaded during the build:

orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored:q3_K_L

The image is published to the public Gitea container registry as:

gt.uo1.net/1movmedia/ollama-with-model:latest

Run

docker pull gt.uo1.net/1movmedia/ollama-with-model:latest
docker run --rm --gpus all -p 11434:11434 \
  gt.uo1.net/1movmedia/ollama-with-model:latest

The Ollama API is then available at http://localhost:11434. Start a request with the preloaded model:

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate \
  -d '{"model":"orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored:q3_K_L","prompt":"Hello"}'

Remove --gpus all to run without an NVIDIA GPU.

Build locally

The base image and model have defaults and can be overridden with Docker build arguments:

docker build -t ollama-with-model:latest .

docker build -t ollama-with-model:custom \
  --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=ollama/ollama:latest \
  --build-arg MODEL=orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored:q3_K_L \
  .

Building downloads the complete model, so the runner needs enough disk space for the Ollama base image, model data, and build layers.

Publish from Gitea Actions

The workflow in .gitea/workflows/publish.yml builds the image by digest, then publishes the latest tag in a separate job. After a successful publication, it removes every other version of the image from the Gitea registry. It runs on pushes to main and can also be started manually with workflow_dispatch.

Configure the following repository Actions variable and secret before running it:

Variable REGISTRY_USERNAME: a Gitea user with write access to the 1movmedia package registry.
Secret REGISTRY_TOKEN: a Gitea personal access token with package read/write permission.

The 1movmedia organization must be public for unauthenticated image pulls.
