David’s Status Report for 3/29

This week I worked on Docker and some VM stuff. Throughout the week I tried to fix the docker container to run Ollama inside, but to no avail. Me and Justin also tried working on it together, but we weren’t able to fully finish it. Justin was able to fix it later, and I was also able to make a working version as well, although we are going to use Justin’s version as the final. The main issue for my version was that my gpu wasn’t running with the model in the container. I fixed this by not scripting ollama serve in the Dockerfile initially, and just downloading Ollama first. Then I would be able to Docker run with all gpus to start my container. After that I could pull the models and also run Ollama serve to have a fully functional local docker container working. If we were to have used this version I could script the pulling and running of Ollama serve to occur after running Docker. Earlier in the week I also tried to get a vm with a T4 GPU on gcp. However, after multiple tries across servers, I was not able to successfully acquire one. Me, Kemdi, and Justin also met together at the end of the week to flesh out the demo which is basically fully working. I am on schedule, and my main goal for next week is to get a 3d printed container for the board and speaker/mic through FBS.
