Less IaC than it is collection of scripts. Allows you to easily:

• Download and manage Gguf models from Hugging Face
• Push models to Aleph as immutable SquashFs images
• Build and deploy Llama.Cpp on an Aleph VM, loading models from as immutable volumes

• docker OR podman
• huggingface-cli
• git
• jq
• aleph cli, available on pip!
• squashfs-tools, including mksquashfs and unsquashfs

All you need to get started is to copy .env.example to .env.

cp .env.example .env

The repository comes with suitable defaults for deploying a simple Llama.Cpp server on Aleph, but you can modify these to suit your needs. See the .env.example file for more information.

Pull the configured model so its available locally

./bin/lib.sh pull-model

Push the configured model to Aleph as an object

./bin/lib.sh push-model

Pull a suitable runtime locally to build and deploy Llama.Cpp

./bin/lib.sh pull-runtime

And finally, push the runtime to Aleph, loading our configured model as a volume

./bin/lib.sh push-engine
