+# Deploy Ollama to Fly.io
+
+> Note: this example exposes a public endpoint and does not configure authentication. Use with care.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Ollama: https://ollama.ai/download
+- Fly.io account. Sign up for a free account: https://fly.io/app/sign-up
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Login to Fly.io
+
+    ```bash
+    fly auth login
+    ```
+
+1. Create a new Fly app
+
+    ```bash
+    fly launch --name <name> --image ollama/ollama --internal-port 11434 --vm-size shared-cpu-8x --now
+    ```
+
+1. Pull and run `orca-mini:3b`
+
+    ```bash
+    OLLAMA_HOST=https://<name>.fly.dev ollama run orca-mini:3b
+    ```
+
+`shared-cpu-8x` is a free-tier eligible machine type. For better performance, switch to a `performance` or `dedicated` machine type or attach a GPU for hardware acceleration (see below).
+
+## (Optional) Persistent Volume
+
+By default Fly Machines use ephemeral storage which is problematic if you want to use the same model across restarts without pulling it again. Create and attach a persistent volume to store the downloaded models:
+
+1. Create the Fly Volume
+
+    ```bash
+    fly volume create ollama
+    ```
+
+1. Update `fly.toml` and add `[mounts]`
+
+    ```toml
+    [mounts]
+      source = "ollama"
+      destination = "/mnt/ollama/models"
+    ```
+
+1. Update `fly.toml` and add `[env]`
+
+    ```toml
+    [env]
+      OLLAMA_MODELS = "/mnt/ollama/models"
+    ```
+
+1. Deploy your app
+
+    ```bash
+    fly deploy
+    ```
+
+## (Optional) Hardware Acceleration
+
+Fly.io GPU is currently in waitlist. Sign up for the waitlist: https://fly.io/gpu
+
+Once you've been accepted, create the app with the additional flags `--vm-gpu-kind a100-pcie-40gb` or `--vm-gpu-kind a100-pcie-80gb`.
