Constructor Details

#initialize(argv: ARGV.dup) ⇒ Chat

Initializes a new OllamaChat::Chat instance with the given command-line arguments.

Sets up the chat environment including configuration parsing, Ollama client initialization, model selection, system prompt handling, document processing setup, and history management. This method handles all the bootstrapping necessary to create a functional chat session that can communicate with an Ollama server and process various input types including text, documents, web content, and images.

The initialization process includes parsing command-line options using Tins::GO for robust argument handling, setting up the Ollama client with configurable timeouts (connect, read, write), validating Ollama API version compatibility (requires >= 0.9.0 for features used), configuring model selection based on command-line or configuration defaults, initializing system prompts from files or inline content, setting up document processing pipeline with embedding capabilities through Documentrix::Documents, creating message history management through OllamaChat::MessageList, initializing cache systems for document embeddings, setting up voice support and image handling for multimodal interactions, enabling optional server socket functionality for remote input, and handling configuration errors with interactive recovery mechanisms.

Parameters:

  • argv (Array<String>) (defaults to: ARGV.dup)

    Command-line arguments to parse (defaults to ARGV.dup)

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError)

    If the Ollama API version is less than 0.9.0, indicating incompatibility with required API features
