How to change Ollama models location

Ollama Models location

By default the model files are stored:

Create a symlink in /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/ to point to the folder in the mounted device:
```
ln -s /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models /mnt/<device-hash>/<folder-to-models>/`
```

Change the ownership of the symlink to the ollama user

sudo chown -h ollama:ollama /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models

Create the new directory for the Ollama models

Create a new directory where you want the Ollama models to be saved. For example, if you want them to be in another device, you can run the command below replacing the <device-name> with the Device name and the <folder-to-models> with a name of the directory.
```
cd /mnt/<device-name>
mkdir <folder-to-models>
```
For example,
```
cd /mnt/41125476-5abe-4ve3-462f-50avf735h73d/	
mkdir ollamamodels
```
Change the ownership of the ollama models directory to your user
```
sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/<device-hash>/<folder-to-models>/
```

Change the user in ollama config

sudo systemctl edit ollama.service

Edit the file content:

[Service]
User=<your-user>
Group=<your-user>
Environment="OLLAMA_MODELS=/mnt/<device-hash>/<folder-to-models>/"

Restart the service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ollama
sudo systemctl status ollama

# on error, run
sudo journalctl -u ollama.service
