Ollama session tips
Change the port of the integrated Ollama instance
Go to ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/config/server.json and change the "local_port" value, by default it is 11435.
Backup all the chats
The chat data is located in ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/data/chats you can copy that directory wherever you want to.
Force showing the welcome dialog
To do that you just need to delete the file ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/config/server.json, this won't affect your saved chats or models.
Add/Change environment variables for Ollama
You can change anything except $HOME and $OLLAMA_HOST, to do this go to ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/config/server.json and change ollama_overrides accordingly, some overrides are available to change on the GUI.

About forks
If you want to fork this... I mean, I think it would be better if you start from scratch, my code isn't well documented at all, but if you really want to, please give me some credit, that's all I ask for... And maybe a donation (joke)
