Ollama – v0.18.1-rc0: cmd/launch: skip –install-daemon when systemd is unavailable (#14883)
🚀 Ollama v0.18.1-rc0 is here — and it’s fixing a pesky containerization hiccup!
🔥 What’s new?
- 🛠️ `ollama launch openclaw –install-daemon` no longer fails in environments without systemd (like Docker, WSL, Alpine, or CI runners).
- ✅ Smart detection: Ollama now checks if systemd is actually available before trying to install the daemon.
- 🧪 Falls back gracefully to foreground mode when systemd isn’t present — meaning your local LLMs keep running, no matter the setup!
📦 Why it matters:
Perfect for devs testing in containers or minimal Linux setups — less friction, more inference! 🐳💻
