A guide for setup is included on the site. We've tried to make setup as smooth and straightforward as possible, letting you configure once and immediately start chatting any time Ollama is running.
Once set-up, you can start chatting. All chats are stored locally in your browser giving you complete privacy and near-instant chat load times.
If you instead want to contribute/run a development server, check out the contribution guide.
Running locally is made as straightforward as possible. There are two ways of getting a local LlamaPen instance:
This route assumes you have Docker installed on your system.
Pull the image:
docker pull ghcr.io/imdarktom/llamapen:latestRun the image:
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name llamapen --restart unless-stopped ghcr.io/imdarktom/llamapen:latestYou can swap out the
8080in the arguments for any port that you want LlamaPen to run on.
This will create a container that runs on startup with your computer and lets LlamaPen be accessible on localhost at the port specified.
You may run the app manually without Docker by installing it and running it through Bun. This is slightly less preferrable as you might encounter issues due to differences in package/tool versions.
Make sure you have installed:
git clone https://github.com/ImDarkTom/LlamaPen.git
cd LlamaPenbun installTo run a local server:
bun run localIf you are using the official site (https://llamapen.app), you may choose to enable LlamaPen Cloud. LlamaPen Cloud is an optional service that lets you run the most powerful versions of the latest models using a cloud provider if you are not able to run them locally. While LlamaPen is free and open-source, LlamaPen Cloud offers an optional subscription for increasing rate limits and accessing more expensive models.
For security reasons, LlamaPen Cloud is not open-source, however we strive to ensure your privacy (as outlined in the Cloud service privacy policy), and the only time we have access to your chats is if you explicitly enable LlamaPen Cloud in the settings and send chat requests using one of the provided models. No data is ever sent to LlamaPen Cloud if you do not enable it in the settings.
Funding to help development is always appreciated, whether that is through purchasing a subscription on LlamaPen API or donating directly, I will appreciate any sponsorship you give.
LlamaPen is AGPL-3.0
