+# Llama Swap fork with socket activation
+
+This is a fork of https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap with the following changes
+ - Support for systemd socket activation
+ - Container file for fully containerized build with podman targetting Linux and Vulkan
+ - Documentation and example service files how to set up a socket activated 
+   podman container isolated with network=none
+   (see [Readme](docs/socket_activation/README.md) )

+# Rootless podman container with Systemd Socket activation
+
+## Idea
+By passing in the socket from systemd we minimize resource use when not in use.
+Since no other network access is required for operation, we can configure the container
+with network=none and minimize the risk of the AI escaping. 
+
+## Set up 
+
+Optional, if you want to run this as a separate user
+```
+sudo useradd llama
+sudo machinectl shell llama@
+```
+
+Check out this repository, navigate to its root directory and build the llama.cpp/llama swap 
+container with
+```
+podman build -t localhost/lamaswap:latest -f Build.Containerfile
+```
+
+Place llama.socket in ` ~/.config/systemd/user`, adjust ports and interfaces if needed.
+Place llama.container in `~/.config/containers/systemd`. Adjust paths for models and config if desired.
+The files are in `docs/socket_activation`, next to this readme.
+
+Put model files into the models directory (`~/models`).
+Create a llama swap `config.yaml` (by default in `~`) according to the docs.
+
+Start the socket:
+```
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now llama.socket
+```
+
+If you want to run the service also when the user is not logged in, enable lingering:
+```
+sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>
+```
+
+Check that you can access the llama swap control panel in browser. For troubleshooting, use, e. g., `journalctl -xe`.
