Configuration

Edit ~/.ollanet/config.json (installed) or config.json (checkout) — or set OLLANET_CONFIG.

{
  "hosts": [
    "192.168.1.50",
    { "name": "studio", "host": "studio.tail1234.ts.net" }
  ],
  "defaultModels": {
    "studio": "gemma3:12b"
  },
  "aliases": {
    "desk": { "machine": "studio", "model": "gemma3:12b" }
  },
  "defaults": {
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "num_ctx": 8192
  },
  "discovery": {
    "localhost": true,
    "tailscale": true,
    "lan": false
  }
}

Aliases

Frequent machine + model pairs:

ollanet alias add desk studio gemma3:12b
ollanet alias list
ollanet prompt desk "hello"
ollanet alias rm desk

aliases in the JSON is the same store. An alias used as the first token expands both host and model (unless you pass an explicit model).
