This usecase already manifested in the other PR #2889 and adds

  • make the aliases llama.cpp and mounted files equal, i.e. remove all .gguf from the file name not only the extension
  • adds a presets.ini file
  • find out whether the presets file works with single model mode
    • make sure we use the same file names for mounts as in router mode which helps to figure the model name to write a such presets.ini
  • test cases

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the --models-preset option to ramalama serve and supported sandbox commands.
    • Router mode now accepts a presets INI file, mounted read-only for use by the server.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved generated model names by removing unnecessary .gguf suffixes.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new option across command manuals and shared option guidance.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for presets-file mounting and preservation of router configuration.

Walkthrough

The change adds --models-preset support for router mode, mounts the presets file read-only, passes its container path to llama-server, documents the option, adds router tests, and removes .gguf from generated model names.

Changes

Router presets-file support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Presets option and router wiring
ramalama/plugins/runtimes/inference/llama_cpp.py
The serve command accepts --models-preset. Router mode mounts the file at /etc/presets.ini and uses the router image wiring.
Serve command and router validation
ramalama/plugins/runtimes/inference/llama_cpp_commands.py, test/unit/test_router_mode.py, test/e2e/test_serve.py
The serve command passes /etc/presets.ini to llama-server. Unit and end-to-end tests verify mounts, volumes, and generated arguments.
Presets option documentation
docs/options/models-preset.md, docs/ramalama-sandbox-*.md, docs/ramalama-sandbox-*.md.in, docs/ramalama-serve.1.md, docs/ramalama-serve.1.md.in
The shared option and command manuals describe the presets INI file and router-mode usage.

GGUF model name cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Readable GGUF model names
ramalama/plugins/runtimes/inference/common.py
Relative model paths no longer contribute a .gguf suffix to readable model names.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Exercise the presets_file branch.

This test sets engine_args directly but never sets presets_file. It does not execute the new mount at llama_cpp.py Lines [590-594] or the new --presets argument at llama_cpp_commands.py Lines [176-178]. A regression in either path would still pass this test.

Set presets_file to a temporary file, then assert the /etc/presets.ini mount, the --presets /etc/presets.ini command pair, and the image ordering.

This assessment is based on the changed test and the supplied runtime and command branches.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Append engine.relabel() to the presets bind mount.

When --selinux is enabled with Podman, the model mounts receive ,z, but the presets mount does not. Podman can deny llama-server access to /etc/presets.ini.
