We LOVE Ollama and use it to run both local and cloud-based AI models on our development laptops. That said we've run into a few issues with pulling the latest models over the past few months, so here's how to solve it.

We setup all of our FreeBSD servers to be accessed via Tailscale's SSH so we documented it here for our quick reference in the future for new server setup. Hope it helps someone else as well.

This article walks through the (very opinionated) flow that we use. From jails setup through running Caddy as a health‑checked reverse proxy in front of the jails.
