Basic Information

handy-ollama is a hands-on tutorial repository that teaches users how to deploy and manage large language models locally using Ollama with a focus on CPU-only environments. The project provides step-by-step guidance from installation and configuration on macOS, Windows, Linux and Docker to importing models (GGUF, PyTorch, safetensors and direct model imports), customizing prompts and storage, and using the Ollama REST API. It also covers integration with LangChain and client code examples in multiple languages, plus visual deployment using FastAPI and WebUI. The repo includes notebooks, markdown docs and example applications such as local RAG systems and agent setups. It targets learners and developers who want to run LLMs on consumer hardware, manage local models securely, and build applications without relying on GPU infrastructure.

Language-specific Ollama API usage examples for Python, Java, JavaScript, C++ and Golang, with placeholders for additional languages. Integration guides for LangChain and LlamaIndex. Tutorials for deploying visual chat interfaces via FastAPI and WebUI. Practical application examples including a local AI copilot, Dify integration, local RAG implementations and agent examples. Repository contains organized docs, notebooks and images, an online rendered site, contributor notes and a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. Includes a security section with hardening recommendations and known risk advisories.
Use Cases
This repository helps beginners and experienced developers quickly learn how to run large models locally on CPU-based machines and to build practical applications around those models. It lowers the barrier to entry by providing stepwise installation instructions, sample notebooks and multi-language API examples so users can call Ollama from Python, Java, JavaScript, C++ and Golang. The LangChain and LlamaIndex guides and RAG/agent examples demonstrate how to compose retrieval and agent workflows. Visual deployment recipes show how to expose chat interfaces safely. The included security advisory and mitigation steps help users avoid common misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities. Community-driven contributions and ready-made examples accelerate experimentation and local development without requiring GPU resources.
