[RamaLama](https://ramalama.ai) strives to make working with AI simple, straightforward, and familiar by using OCI containers.

## Description
RamaLama is an open-source tool that simplifies the local use and serving of AI models for inference from any source through the familiar approach of containers. It allows engineers to use container-centric development patterns and benefits to extend to AI use cases.

RamaLama eliminates the need to configure the host system by instead pulling a container image specific to the GPUs discovered on the host system, and allowing you to work with various models and platforms.

- Eliminates the complexity for users to configure the host system for AI.
- Detects and pulls an [accelerated container image](#accelerated-images) specific to the GPUs on the host system, handling dependencies and hardware optimization.
- RamaLama supports multiple [AI model registries](#transports), including OCI Container Registries.
- Models are treated similarly to how Podman and Docker treat container images.
- Use common [container commands](#commands) to work with AI models.
- Run AI models [securely](#security) in rootless containers, isolating the model from the underlying host.
- Keep data secure by defaulting to no network access and removing all temporary data on application exits.
- Interact with models via REST API or as a chatbot.

## Install
### Install on macOS (Self-Contained Installer)
Download the self-contained macOS installer that includes Python and all dependencies:

1. Download the latest `.pkg` installer from [Releases](https://github.com/containers/ramalama/releases)
2. Double-click to install, or run: `sudo installer -pkg RamaLama-*-macOS-Installer.pkg -target /`

See [macOS Installation Guide](docs/MACOS_INSTALL.md) for detailed instructions.

### Install on Fedora
RamaLama is available in [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/) and later. To install it, run:
```
sudo dnf install ramalama
```

### Fedora Silverblue and Toolbox
On [Fedora Silverblue](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/) and other immutable variants, the system is read-only. You can run RamaLama in either of these ways:

- **Toolbox**: Create a [Toolbox](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolbox/) container and install RamaLama inside it (`pip install ramalama` or `dnf install ramalama` if available). Use the same Podman (or Docker) from the host so that RamaLama can start model containers; ensure the container engine is installed and that the toolbox has access to the host's container engine (e.g., by bind-mounting the socket or by configuring the toolbox to use the host's `podman` command).
- **Host Installation or Toolbox with Host Access**: Install RamaLama on the host via `rpm-ostree install ramalama` if the package is available for your image, or run RamaLama from a toolbox, ensuring Podman/Docker is available and the model store is on a writable location (e.g., your home directory).

The model store defaults to `~/.local/share/ramalama`, which is writable on Silverblue.

### Install via PyPI
RamaLama is available via PyPI at [https://pypi.org/project/ramalama](https://pypi.org/project/ramalama)
```
pip install ramalama
```

### Install script (Linux and macOS)
Install RamaLama by running:
```
curl -fsSL https://ramalama.ai/install.sh | bash
```

### Install on Windows
RamaLama supports Windows with Docker Desktop or Podman Desktop:
```powershell
pip install ramalama
```

**Requirements:**
- Python 3.9 or later
- Docker Desktop or Podman Desktop with WSL2 backend
- For GPU support, see [NVIDIA GPU Setup for WSL2](docs/readme/wsl2-docker-cuda.md)

**Note:** Windows support requires running containers via Docker/Podman. The model store uses hardlinks (no admin required) or falls back to file copies if hardlinks are unavailable.

## Uninstall

### Uninstall via pip
If you installed RamaLama using pip, you can uninstall it with:
```bash
pip uninstall ramalama
```

### Uninstall on Fedora
If you installed RamaLama using DNF:
```bash
sudo dnf remove ramalama
```

### Uninstall on macOS (Self-Contained Installer)
To remove RamaLama installed via the `.pkg` installer:
```bash
# Remove the executable
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/ramalama

# Remove configuration and data files
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/ramalama

# Remove man pages (optional)
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/ramalama*.1
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man5/ramalama*.5
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man7/ramalama*.7

# Remove shell completions (optional)
sudo rm /usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/ramalama
sudo rm /usr/local/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/ramalama.fish
sudo rm /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_ramalama
```

See the [macOS Installation Guide](docs/MACOS_INSTALL.md) for more details.

### Remove User Data and Configuration
After uninstalling RamaLama using any method above, you may want to remove downloaded models and configuration files:

```bash
# Remove downloaded models and data (can be large)
rm -rf -- "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/ramalama"

# Remove configuration files
rm -rf -- "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/ramalama"

# If you ran RamaLama as root, also remove:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/ramalama
```

**Note:** The model data directory (by default `~/.local/share/ramalama`) can be quite large depending on how many models you've downloaded. Make sure you want to remove these files before running the commands above.

## Accelerated images

| Accelerator                       | Image                      |
| :---------------------------------| :------------------------- |
|  GGML_VK_VISIBLE_DEVICES (or CPU) | quay.io/ramalama/ramalama  |
|  HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES              | quay.io/ramalama/rocm      |
|  CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES             | quay.io/ramalama/cuda      |
|  ASAHI_VISIBLE_DEVICES            | quay.io/ramalama/asahi     |
|  INTEL_VISIBLE_DEVICES            | quay.io/ramalama/intel-gpu |
|  ASCEND_VISIBLE_DEVICES           | quay.io/ramalama/cann      |
|  MUSA_VISIBLE_DEVICES             | quay.io/ramalama/musa      |

### GPU support inspection
On first run, RamaLama inspects your system for GPU support, falling back to CPU if none are present. RamaLama uses container engines like Podman or Docker to pull the appropriate OCI image with all necessary software to run an AI Model for your system setup.

<details>
<summary>
How does RamaLama select the right image?
</summary>

After initialization, RamaLama runs AI Models within a container based on the OCI image. RamaLama pulls container images specific to the GPUs discovered on your system. These images are tied to the minor version of RamaLama.
- For example, RamaLama version 1.2.3 on an NVIDIA system pulls quay.io/ramalama/cuda:1.2. To override the default image, use the `--image` option.

RamaLama then pulls AI Models from model registries, starting a chatbot or REST API service from a simple single command. Models are treated similarly to how Podman and Docker treat container images.
</details>

## Hardware Support

### Nvidia GPUs
On systems with NVIDIA GPUs, see [ramalama-cuda](docs/ramalama-cuda.7.md) documentation for the correct host system configuration.

### Intel GPUs
The following Intel GPUs are auto-detected by RamaLama:

| GPU ID  | Description                        |
| :------ | :--------------------------------- |
|`0xe20b` | Intel® Arc™ B580 Graphics          |
|`0xe20c` | Intel® Arc™ B570 Graphics          |
|`0x7d51` | Intel® Graphics - Arrow Lake-H     |
|`0x7dd5` | Intel® Graphics - Meteor Lake      |
|`0x7d55` | Intel® Arc™ Graphics - Meteor Lake |

See the [Intel hardware table](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/devices/hardware-table.html) for more information.

### Moore Threads GPUs
On systems with Moore Threads GPUs, see [ramalama-musa](docs/ramalama-musa.7.md) documentation for the correct host system configuration.

### MLX Runtime (macOS only)
The MLX runtime provides optimized inference for Apple Silicon Macs. MLX requires:
- macOS operating system
- Apple Silicon hardware (M1, M2, M3, or later)
- Usage with `--nocontainer` option (containers are not supported)
- The `mlx-lm` uv package installed on the host system as a uv tool

To install and run Phi-4 on MLX, use `uv`. If `uv` is not installed, you can install it with `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`:
```bash
uv tool install mlx-lm
# or upgrade to the latest version:
uv tool upgrade mlx-lm

ramalama --runtime=mlx serve hf://mlx-community/Unsloth-Phi-4-4bit
```

#### Default Container Engine
When both Podman and Docker are installed, RamaLama defaults to Podman. The `RAMALAMA_CONTAINER_ENGINE=docker` environment variable can override this behaviour. When neither are installed, RamaLama will attempt to run the model with software on the local system.

## Security

### Test and run your models more securely
Because RamaLama defaults to running AI models inside rootless containers using Podman or Docker, these containers isolate the AI models from information on the underlying host.  With RamaLama containers, the AI model is mounted as a volume into the container in read-only mode.

This results in the process running the model (llama.cpp or vLLM) being isolated from the host. Additionally, since `ramalama run` uses the `--network=none` option, the container cannot reach the network and leak any information out of the system. Finally, containers are run with the `--rm` option, which means any content written during container execution is deleted when the application exits.

### Here’s how RamaLama delivers a robust security footprint:
- **Container Isolation** – AI models run within isolated containers, preventing direct access to the host system.
- **Read-Only Volume Mounts** – The AI model is mounted in read-only mode, which means that processes inside the container cannot modify the host files.
- **No Network Access** – ramalama run is executed with `--network=none`, meaning the model has no outbound connectivity for which information can be leaked.
- **Auto-Cleanup** – Containers run with `--rm`, wiping out any temporary data once the session ends.
- **Drop All Linux Capabilities** – No access to Linux capabilities to attack the underlying host.
- **No New Privileges** – Linux Kernel feature that disables container processes from gaining additional privileges.

## Transports
RamaLama supports multiple AI model registries types called transports.

### Supported transports

### Default Transport

Models specified in the Hugging Face `<org>/<model>` format are automatically pulled from Hugging Face. For models specified without an organization (e.g. `granite-code`), RamaLama currently defaults to the Ollama transport. **Note:** Ollama models are no longer compatible with llama.cpp, and support for the Ollama transport will be removed in a future release. Users should migrate to Hugging Face models.

<details>
<summary>
How to change transports.
</summary>

Use the RAMALAMA_TRANSPORT environment variable to modify the default. `export RAMALAMA_TRANSPORT=huggingface` Changes RamaLama to use huggingface transport.

Individual model transports can be modified when specifying a model via the `huggingface://`, `oci://`, `modelscope://`, `ollama://`, or `rlcr://` prefix.

Example:
```
ramalama pull huggingface://afrideva/Tiny-Vicuna-1B-GGUF/tiny-vicuna-1b.q2_k.gguf
```
</details>

### Transport shortnames
To make it easier for users, RamaLama uses shortname files, which contain alias names for fully specified AI Models, allowing users to refer to models using shorter names.

<details>
<summary>
More information on shortnames.
</summary>

```
$ cat /usr/share/ramalama/shortnames.conf
[shortnames]
 "tiny" = "hf://TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-GGUF"
 "granite" = "hf://ibm-granite/granite-3.3-8b-instruct-GGUF"
 "granite:7b" = "hf://instructlab/granite-7b-lab-GGUF"
 "ibm/granite" = "hf://ibm-granite/granite-3.3-8b-instruct-GGUF"
 "merlinite" = "hf://instructlab/merlinite-7b-lab-GGUF"
 "merlinite:7b" = "hf://instructlab/merlinite-7b-lab-GGUF"
 ...
```

> this command does not work without a container engine.

- <details>
 <summary>
 Generate RAG data from provided documents and convert into an OCI Image.
 </summary>

This command uses a specific container image containing the docling tool to convert the specified content into a RAG vector database. If the image does not exist locally, RamaLama will pull the image down and launch a container to process the data.

**Positional arguments:**

PATH Files/Directory containing PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, AsciiDoc & Markdown formatted files to be processed. Can be specified multiple times.

IMAGE OCI Image name to contain processed rag data

```

## In development

Regarding this alpha, everything is under development, so expect breaking changes. If you need to reset your installation, see the [Uninstall](#uninstall) section above for instructions on removing RamaLama and cleaning up all data files, then reinstall.

## Known Issues

- On certain versions of Python on macOS, certificates may not installed correctly, potentially causing SSL errors (e.g., when accessing huggingface.co). To resolve this, run the `Install Certificates` command, typically as follows:

```
/Applications/Python 3.x/Install Certificates.command
```
