Selfhost an LLM
submitted by
Hi all,
i am quite an old fart, so i just recently got excited about self hosting an AI, some LLM…
What i want to do is:
- chat with it
- eventually integrate it into other services, where needed
I read about OLLAMA, but it’s all unclear to me.
Where do i start, preferably with containers (but “bare metal") is also fine?
(i already have a linux server rig with all the good stuff on it, from immich to forjeio to the arrs and more, reverse proxy, Wireguard and the works, i am looking for input on AI/LLM, what to self host and such, not general selfhosting hints)

If you like videos, I’d highly recommend techno Tims video on how to do this. Its what I used when building mine. Link
100% agree. TechnoTim is quite good. Also take a look at NetworkChuck. But be aware, these two will send you down rabbit holes of self-hosting ideas. Awesome rabbit holes, but rabbit holes nonetheless. I’ve spent weeks playing with stuff they’ve suggested. N8n and MCP is my latest obsession.
