tl-dr

-Can someone give me step by step instructions (ELI5) on how to get access to my LLM's on my rig from my phone?

Jan seems the easiest but I've tried with Ollama, librechat, etc.

.....

I've taken steps to secure my data and now I'm going the selfhosting route. I don't care to become a savant with the technical aspects of this stuff but even the basics are hard to grasp! I've been able to install a LLM provider on my rig (Ollama, Librechat, Jan, all of em) and I can successfully get models running on them. BUT what I would LOVE to do is access the LLM's on my rig from my phone while I'm within proximity. I've read that I can do that via wifi or LAN or something like that but I have had absolutely no luck. Jan seems the easiest because all you have to do is something with an API key but I can't even figure that out.

Any help?

Sorry for the delay! I had a fun weekend…

The ish app seems dope. Looks like it could be useful but unfortunately Im not able to get that to work in the way we want either. The “install” prompt doesn’t work, It told me to use “—help” for more info. I did that and it said to install I use “upgrade” instead. I did that but I got back ‘package Telnet not found’. 🥲

I appreciate the help with the iOS but maybe switching to android would be best? My long term goal was to switch to android/pixel anyway because I heard those would be best for security/privacy concerns. And lucky me I have a pixel 3 I can switch everything too. I see you made another comment about how to try it on android….im going to give that a shot rn!
