    Overview

    StarCoder2 is a powerful AI model designed for code generation and completion. Running it inside a Docker container using Ollama ensures ease of deployment, isolation, and flexibility.

    Why Use Docker with Ollama for StarCoder2?

    • Portability: Run StarCoder2 on any system with Docker installed.
    • Isolation: Avoid conflicts with local dependencies.
    • Efficiency: Optimize execution with pre configured environments.

     

    Setting Up StarCoder2 in Docker

    Step 1: Launch the Ollama Container

    To begin, start an Ollama container with persistent storage and an exposed API:

    docker run -d -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama

    Step 2: Access the Ollama Container

    Once the container is running, access its shell environment:

    docker exec -it ollama /bin/bash

    Step 3: Pull the StarCoder2 Model

    Inside the container, download StarCoder2 using Ollama’s model hub:

    ollama pull starcoder2

    This ensures all required dependencies are fetched.

    Step 4: Run StarCoder2

    To start the model and interact with it, execute:

    ollama run starcoder2

    Try out a simple query to validate its functionality:

    >>> def fibonacci(n):

    Step 5: Deploy a Web UI for Easy Interaction

    To enable a browser-based interface for StarCoder2, deploy Open WebUI:

    docker run -d -p 3030:8080 -eOLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://<YOUR-IP>:11434 -vopen-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart alwaysghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

     

    Now, open http://<YOUR-IP>:3030 in a browser to interact with the model through an easy-to-use web interface.

    Conclusion

    Deploying StarCoder2 in Docker with Ollama is a straightforward process that ensures ease of use and scalability. You can now generate and complete code snippets efficiently while maintaining a clean development environment.
