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.
