Using LlamaBarn with a already running llama-server? #19
Description
Since a long while I am running llama-server on this system, serving gpt-oss 120B using SSL and API-keys. The web frontend is good for using llama-server from other systems within the home LAN. Locally on this system I would like to have a frontend with more features and functions for accessing llama-server. LlamaBarm might be that frontend I am looking for, it seems it can not use an other llama-server instance running independently from itself.
So my feature request would be to make LlamaBarn configurable in such a way that it does not depend on running its own llama-server instance.
Thanks for all the very useful open source software from the ggml cosmos

Thanks for the feature request! I want to make sure I understand what you're looking for.
LlamaBarn is primarily a model manager that handles downloading and running local models. It doesn't have its own chat interface; the web UI you see when a model is running is actually the one built into llama-server (from llama.cpp).
Could you clarify what you'd like LlamaBarn to do for your existing server? For example:
Knowing more about your workflow would help us understand if this fits within LlamaBarn's scope as a model manager.
